Nature of Australia: A Portrait of the Island Continent. This is a fantastic book concerning the island continent of Australia or Down Under. This book is a companion volume of the highly acclaimed TV series aired by NATURE PBS in 1988 in North America. Altogether, this 6-hour series is a source of endless delight and highly educational, and so is the companion book, to both adults as well as children. The island continent of Australia is unique in the sense that its plant and animal life is endemic to the country. The trees are composed mainly of gum trees and the animals are the marsupial type, meaning they are all pouch-carrying animals which are found no where on Earth. Australia is an arid where the rain comes once a while and follow into great salt lakes. I highly recommend this book to readers of Alibris. Thanks.
