Animals Make Us Human de Leah Kaminsky

Animals Make Us Human

Autor Leah Kaminsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2020
A response to the devastating 2019-20 bushfires, Animals Make Us Human both celebrates Australia's unique wildlife and highlights its vulnerability. Through words and images, writers, photographers and researchers reflect on their connection with animals and nature. They share moments of wonder and revelation from encounters in the natural world: seeing a wild platypus at play, an echidna dawdling across a bush track, or the inexplicable leap of a thresher shark; watching bats take flight at dusk, or birds making a home in the backyard; or following possums, gliders and owls into the dark. Hopeful, uplifting and deeply moving, this collection is also an urgent call to action, a powerful reminder that we only have one world in which to coexist and thrive with our fellow creatures. The words of Australia's favourite writers and renowned researchers are accompanied by images by acclaimed wildlife photographers, highlighting the beauty and fragility of our unique fauna.
