The Flowering of Australia’s Rainforests provides a comprehensive introduction to the pollination ecology, evolution and conservation of Australian rainforest plants, with particular emphasis on subtropical rainforests and their associated pollinators. This significantly expanded second edition includes new information on the impact of climate change, fire, fragmentation and invasive species. Rainforests continue to be a focus of global conservation concern, not only from threats to biodiversity in general, but to pollinators specifically. Within Australia, this has been emphasised by recent cataclysmic fire impacts, ongoing extreme drought events, and the wider consideration of climate change. This second edition strengthens coverage of these issues beyond that of the first edition. The Flowering of Australia’s Rainforests makes timely contributions to our understanding of the nature and function of the world’s pollinator fauna, plant-reproduction dependencies, and the evolutionary pathway that has brought them to their current state and function. Illustrated with 150 colour plates of major species and rainforest formations, this reference work will be of value to ecologists and field naturalists, botanists, conservation biologists, ecosystemmanagers and community groups involved in habitat restoration. FEATURES: Provides an overview of the pollination ecology of Australia’s rainforests in a world rainforest context. In particular discusses the pollination ecology of threatened subtropical rainforests, including the impact of climate change, fragmentation, fire and invasive species. Provides an introductory review of plant evolution and plant-pollinator relationships. Discusses pollination syndromes and the role and function of pollinator groups. Serves as a companion volume to The Invertebrate World of Australia’s Subtropical Rainforests

The Invertebrate World of Australia’s Subtropical Rainforests is a comprehensive review of Australia’s Gondwanan rainforest invertebrate fauna, covering its taxonomy, distribution, biogeography, fossil history, plant community and insect–plant relationships. This is the first work to document the invertebrate diversity of this biologically important region, as well as explain the uniqueness and importance of the organisms. This book examines invertebrates within the context of the plant world that they are dependent on and offers an understanding of Australia’s outstanding (but still largely unknown) subtropical rainforests. All major, and many minor, invertebrate taxa are described and the book includes a section of colour photos of distinctive species. There is also a strong emphasis on plant and habitat associations and fragmentation impacts, as well as a focus on the regionally inclusive Gondwana Rainforests (Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia) World Heritage Area. The Invertebrate World of Australia’s Subtropical Rainforestswill be of value to professional biologists and ecologists, as well as amateur entomologists and naturalists in Australia and abroad. Brings together a broad body of information otherwise scattered in journals of diverse specialist subject matter. Offers a unique perspective marrying invertebrates to their plant world and the landscape in which they live and are dependent upon. Original colour photographs illustrate the many iconic taxa discussed, highlighting Australia’s outstanding (but still largely unknown) subtropical rainforests.

Inside these pages are the stories of people who built Midmark: a global team of salespeople, engineers, welders, receptionists, accountants, press operators, customer and tech services, marketing, assemblers, truck-drivers, managers, executives and unsung heroes such as Hilda Frericks, who would be one of the first hired in 1915 and would stay with the company for the next half century. They all found a calling, caring for a company that specializes in caring. 
 Reminisce. Reinvent. Renew. is the story of a company born during World War I, which barely survived the Great Depression and endured World War II to finally begin enjoying prosperity and stability during the Eisenhower years. It's also the narrative of ambitious entrepreneurs who realized during the tumultuous 1960s that the country had changed, but their company hadn't. If they weren't going to be left behind, the company's leadership recognized the Industrial Equipment Company would have to do much more than change its name.
