Australia's Lost World Rich - A History of Australia's Backboned Animals (Paperback, illustrated edition)

People often marvel at the uniqueness of Australia's native wildlife: koalas, kangaroos, and different species of cats and rodents. Yet the Australia of 4,000 million years ago was quite different. With an accessible style, the authors carefully track the origins of life, both animal and plant, through the ages. Filled with diagrams and illustrations, this book is ideal for older children seeking to quench their thirst for knowledge.
