In 'Bowerbird', Sibella Court reveals her very personal and surprising approach to collecting and collections. She shows how to procure the elements of a collection, how to organise and store them, and how to display them in creative and everchanging ways.

First published in the United Kingdom by Helm/Bloomsbury in 2019.

The bowerbirds are famed for their unique bower-building behaviour which, in some species, can be a complex construction of sticks and other vegetable matter that can grow to two metres or so in diameter and about one and a half metres high. Many species are also accomplished mimics, and are able to copy the calls of other bird species, other natural and mechanical sounds and even human speech. These fascinating birds are confined to Australia and New Guinea and, due to the difficulty in accessing certain areas of their distribution, the study of their habits has been challenging. This book aims to condense the published knowledge acquired by ornithologists that have studied the bowerbirds since their discovery, and deliver it in a format suitable for natural history enthusiasts at any level.

A comprehensive account of the natural history, architecture, art, history of discovery and human appreciation of the most incredible of all birds. Written and illustrated, with over 300 images, by two dedicated world authorities who have studied and photographed the amazing bowerbirds over 30 years.

Few Australian authors, not even Henry Lawson or "Steele Rudd" had a more varied experience of bush-life than Edward Sorenson. His time in the bush inspired these stories telling about the lives and habits of nine of our incredible native animals. Including tales about the Bower-bird, Possum, Kookaburra, Dingo, Wren, Goanna, Cockatoo, Koala and Brolga the Sydney Morning Herald said of this collection "Spotty the Bower Bird is a delightful book for youngsters that should be on every Australian child's bookshelf."

This handbook lays out the science behind how animals think, remember, create, calculate, and remember. It provides concise overviews on major areas of study such as animal communication and language, memory and recall, social cognition, social learning and teaching, numerical and quantitative abilities, as well as innovation and problem solving. The chapters also explore more nuanced topics in greater detail, showing how the research was conducted and how it can be used for further study. The authors range from academics working in renowned university departments to those from research institutions and practitioners in zoos. The volume encompasses a wide variety of species, ensuring the breadth of the field is explored.
