Australia's native land snails are an often-overlooked invertebrate group that forms a significant part of terrestrial biodiversity, with an estimated 2500 species present in Australia today. A Guide to Land Snails of Australia is an overview of Australia's native and introduced land snail faunas, offering a greater understanding of their role in the natural environment. The book presents clear diagnostic features of live snails and their shells, and is richly illustrated with a broad range of Australia's native snail, semi-slug and slug species. Comprehensive coverage is also included of the many exotic species introduced to Australia. In a unique bioregional approach, the reader is taken on a trek through some of Australia's spectacular regional landscapes, highlighting their endemic and special snail faunas. This section is supplemented with key localities where species can be found.

In the late twenty-first century, J.R., AKA Cat or El Gato, is a contented college history professor busy falling in love with a beautiful concert musician. But his increasingly powerful psychic skills are warning him of the cataclysmic destruction of Earth by global warming and World War III, and he must now find some means of survival for the human race. In this prequel, the fourth book of the Devistor series, we follow events before and during the Great Disaster, and begin to understand the history of the mystical Cat, who, supported by three brilliant women, will oversee the Earth’s survivors through thousands of years to a new Dark Age, a Renaissance, an Industrial Age, and finally, a true Space Age, while preparing the new world for a cataclysmic menace—a return of the aliens who nearly ended human life. In keeping with the fascinating mythologies and intricate world-building of the previous books in the Devistor series, the genres of action-thriller, hypnotic fantasy, and post-apocalyptic science fiction are seamlessly woven together...and now include the vibrant threads of three emotionally resonant romances.
