A field guide to the identification of climbing plants in rainforest Victoria, New South Wales and subtropical Queensland using vegetative features. This book is the successor to Rainforest Climbing Plants (Williams & Harden, 1980, with later reprintings and additions), which was known by many as the 'Green Book'.

This book has been completely rewritten, while keeping the essentials of the format of Rainforest Trees and Shrubs (Williams, Harden & McDonald 2006) using features of leaves and, in this case, climbing mechanisms. Species are subgrouped within groups with species that have similar climbing mechanisms and leaf characteristics.

What issues are currently not associated with carbon that should be? How do animals, plants and the soil all interact within the carbon cycle?

We are using resources future generations will need, damaging environmental systems and compromising social stability by increasing the gap between rich and poor.  In A Big Fix, pre-eminent scientist and environmentalist Ian Lowe tackles this problem and offers far-reaching solutions to our environmental and social crisis.

Whether you’re alarmed, sceptical or simply curious about climate change, this book will help you sort through the many facets of this sprawling issue. The Basics lays out some key questions and answers, explains how global warming actually works, and examines the sources of the greenhouse gas that are heating up our planet. The Symptoms provides an in-depth look at how climate change is already affecting life on Earth – from rising sea levels to polar bears stranded on tenuous ice – and how these changes may play out in the future.  The Science describes how the global warm-up has been measured and puts the current climatic changes in the context of Earth’s distant history and future and Debates & Solutions surveys the global-warming dialogue and explores the ways in which we might be able to eliminate or reduce the threat of climate change.
