Download Conversations with a Black Cockatoo Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Conversations with a Black Cockatoo: The Poems of 2009-2013 is the final book in a trilogy written over the years when the author's mother entered the final phase of her life. It includes her illness, death, and the grieving of a son for a much-loved parent. Author Kevin Munro then uprooted his life and relocated to the Shoalhaven Region on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. All of this occurred as he recovered from a bipolar breakdown that ended his teaching career. The poetry in this book contains all these issues that evolved as the years unfolded. This trilogy is not only stirring literature, but is intended as an educational tool to help others. All three of his books contain interactive exercises that allow readers to examine the personal experience of someone with bipolar. These exercises are primarily aimed at tertiary education students training for involvement with mental health. The exercises are rich in group discussion potential and for individual educational needs and settings. Kevin Munro lives two hours south of Sydney, Australia, and holds a master's in education from the University of Western Sydney. His first book in the trilogy was a collection of poetry titled Netted Rainbows. His second book was a collection of short stories, The Chronicles of a Stink Chicken: Episodes. He wrote the books as he cared for his dying mother and in the grieving period following her death. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/KevinMunro

Download Recovering Australian Threatened Species Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Australia’s nature is exceptional, wonderful and important. But much has been lost, and the ongoing existence of many species now hangs by a thread. Against a relentless tide of threats to our biodiversity, many Australians, and government and non-government agencies, have devoted themselves to the challenge of conserving and recovering plant and animal species that now need our help to survive. This dedication has been rewarded with some outstanding and inspiring successes: of extinctions averted, of populations increasing, of communities actively involved in recovery efforts. Recovering Australian Threatened Species showcases successful conservation stories and identifies approaches and implementation methods that have been most effective in recovering threatened species. These diverse accounts – dealing with threatened plants, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals – show that the conservation of threatened species is achievable: that it can be done and should be done. They collectively serve to inform, guide and inspire other conservation efforts. This is a book of hope and inspiration. It shows that with dedication, knowledge and support, we can retain and restore our marvellous natural heritage, and gift to our descendants a world that is as diverse, healthy and beautiful as that which we have inherited.

Download Australian Bird Names Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This second edition of Australian Bird Names is a completely updated checklist of Australian birds and the meanings behind their common and scientific names, which may be useful, useless or downright misleading! For each species, the authors examine the many-and-varied common names and full scientific name, with derivation, translation and a guide to pronunciation. Stories behind the name are included, as well as relevant aspects of biology, conservation and history. Original descriptions, translated by the authors, have been sourced for many species. As well as being a book about names, this is a book about the history of the ever-developing understanding of birds, about the people who contributed to this understanding and, most of all, about the birds themselves. This second edition has been revised to follow current taxonomy and understanding of the relationships between families, genera and species. It contains new taxa, updated text and new vagrants and will be interesting reading for anyone with a love of birds, words or the history of Australian biology and bird-watching.

Download The Cockatoos Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This reference book on the cockatoo family provides a comprehensive physical description of the various species of this exotic parrot, the habitat they favor, and their distribution and behaviors both in the wild and in captivity. Their reproductive history is examined, as is the possibility of breeding sufficient numbers in captivity to develop sustainable populations for re-introduction to their original habitat should they become extinct in the wild. The book explores the historical encounters of the various species with Europeans two centuries ago. That early history provides considerable insight to the cockatoo's popularity and to efforts to breed them in captivity. Many cockatoo species face a perilous future. As their native forests are logged, the cockatoos lose not only suitable nesting and roosting sites, but native foods. Additionally, despite conservation laws governing the capture of wild cockatoos, their desirability as an avian pet has spawned a worldwide illicit trade critically endangering some species to the point that they face extinction in the wild.
