Perhaps the most long-awaited new edition in the Australian Natural History Series, this is a substantially different book from the previous edition by Tony Lee and Roger Martin. The contents cover the history of the koala; its distribution and abundance; nutrition; behaviour, sociality and life cycle; predators, parasites and pathogens; population biology; and conservation and management. Illustrations are widely used including eight pages of colour plates. The book places a strong emphasis on conservation and management issues, and candidly addresses issues of koala overpopulation in such areas as Kangaroo Island (South Australia) and Framlingham and French Island (Victoria).
