This illustrated volume traces the evolution and natural history of Australia from the development of the early land mass four and a half million years ago to the formation of the modern continent. It is believed that the land-mass which is now Australia was taken to each of the poles twice, and this turbulent geological journey is reflected in its unique wildlife and in its fossil heritage.

My sister looks like a pear
A joint biography of Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley, two men 'linked by an idea that, one developped and the other defended'. Rich in details and informations, finely researched, perfectly structured, this book, although published in 1955, remains a biographical masterpiece for both men. Exploring their works, private lives, opinions and influences, we can here fully grasp the ferocious sagacity and tireless exhuberance of Huxley, at the service of Darwin on the contrary more reserved, discreet, and cautious. The contrast is, by the way, quite amusing.
More than that, the author also manages to dust off a Victorian era tumultuous in discoveries and debates, that are still a real pleasure to follow today. Lyell, Lamarck, Wallace, Cuvier, Owen, Wilberforce and so many others! The greatests and sharpests minds of the time are here arguing with each other about fascinating issues, some still unresolved.
sure, it's long, and, at times, quite difficult. But for whose interested in such topics this book is a biographical jewel -intense, and lively.
