Octavo, laminated boards,225 pp.,photographs and illustrations, maps. WAS $60. This book tells the fascinating conservation story of the flightless Woodhen of Lord Howe Island. This unique large rail, was at the very brink of extinction with just 15 individuals found in 1980, when bold and risky actions were taken to save it. Th…e book begins with the discovery and ecology of Lord Howe Island. It then details the history of the Woodhen, its place among the rails and their evolution of flightlessness, the planning, implementation and trials, tribulations and successes of the captive breeding programme and the way in which the wild population recovered. The ecology, behaviour and breeding biology of this unique flightless island rail are also discussed. The text is accompanied by numerous photographs and drawings. This is a story of survival, yet the bird remains highly endangered as it is under constant threat, which could tip it over the brink and to extinction. This book provides gripping insights into the potential for both losing and saving vertebrate species.

Quarto, paperback,442 pp.,tables, maps. WAS $50. This book analyses the IUCN status of all the species and subspecies of Australia's birds, including those of the offshore territories. For each bird the size and trend in their population and distribution has been analysed using the latest iteration of IUCN Red List Criteria to d…etermine their risk of extinction. The book also provides an account of all those species and subspecies that are or are likely to be extinct. In this completely revised edition each account covers not only the 2010 status but provides a retrospective assessment of the status in 1990 and 2000 based on current knowledge, taxonomic revisions and changes to the IUCN criteria, and then reasons why the status of some taxa has changed over the last two decades. The book contains some surprises - some alarming, some encouraging. This is not a book of lost causes. It is a call for action to keep the extraordinary biodiversity we have inherited.
