Produktbeschreibung

Every one of the 44 essays is worth reading and the accompanying photographs are spectacular.

Geraldine Brooks starts her appreciation of huntsman spiders in a way that shows why she has a Pulitzer Prize to her name: "I'm looking at him. He's looking back. He's looking down, in fact, from the ceiling of my bedroom. His eight-eyed stare is the last thing I see each night ..." Paul Kelly contributes a song, Sleep, Australia, Sleep, that laments the animals we are losing. "Our children might know them / but their children will not." Indigenous writer Kirli Saunders, in a poem from her new collection, Bindi, pays respect to the sacred garrall, the bird non-Indigenous people know as the black cockatoo. "We pause to hear her calls / from far away."
