"Platypus Matters - The Extraordinary Story Of Australian Mammals" by Jack Ashby
Just finished reading "Platypus Matters - The Extraordinary Story Of Australian Mammals" by Jack Ashby, released by The University of Chicago Press.
With the possible exception of the kangaroo and the Tasmanian Devil - through the courtesy of Looney Tunes, Australian wildlife, particularly it's marsupial mammals are not too well known outside of the Land Down-under and the Commonwealth.
Ashby, who is the assistant director of the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge, brings the adventurous romance of the Outback and why Australia's marsupial mammals are an intriguing look at an alternative path of mammalian evolution here on Earth and explores how the prejudices and preconceived notions of the scientific community of the past and even in the present.
A very resounding look at how the generational scientific views of Australia's marsupial mammals have evolved over several hundred years.
Highly Recommended!
Five Stars!
