Planting wetlands and dams – a practical guide to wetland design, construction and propagation
Nick Romanowski
Book Reviews, July 1998
A step by step guide to the creation of conditions in which wetland plants will thrive.
Planting Wetlands and Dams is an informative book that will guide you right through the dam building and establishment process. Romanowski’s knowledge and experience is shared in an easy to read, non-technical, way that will enable you to produce an attractive and productive habitat, and get the most out of your wetland.

Tim Berra
Comprehensively illustrated with 130 colour photographs and black & white line drawings, a general reference to our facinating plant and animal life.
In A Natural History of Australia, zoologist, writer, researcher and photographer, Tim Berra has described our natural world in detail, clearly delighted and fascinated by the unique and often bizzare flora and fauna to be found here. The narrative is personal, and informal, with interesting anecdotes and stories, and accompanied by superb colour photographs, many taken by the author.
Tim Berra is Professor Emeritus of Zoology at the Ohio State University, and has spent much time in Australia undertaking reseach based at the Australian National University in Canberra, Monash University in Melbourne and the Western Australia Museum, clocking up 160,000km of driving throughout Australia, camping for extended times in the bush.
A Natural History of Australia is a book to treasure, and will appeal both to Australians and visitors wanting a record of Australia’s unique wildlife and environment.

An EIFAC/FAO Manual
This new manual has been prepared by the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC) and combines the expertise of Europe's foremost authorities as it provides guidelines and detailed techniques on the rehabilitiation of rivers for fish. It is a compilation of the methodologies required for assessment of the needs of rehabilitation, the habitat requirements of fish and the various techniques for rehabilitating water courses. To assist the reader in the planning and execution process guidelines are suggested which take four forms: conceptual, policy formation and legislation, research and information gathering, and engineering works. Chapters of the book include: habitat requirements of fish, river form and function, methods of habitat assessment, impact of man’s activities on aquatic habitats, rehabilitation of channels, rehabilitation of floodplains, protection and restoration of fish movements, management of aquatic vegetation, and stock assessment strategies. This book is intended, primarily, for the use of fisheries managers, fisheries and wildlife biologists, planners and civil engineers, but could also be used by farmers or land owners.

Ronald J. Roberts & C. Johnathan Shepherd
A practical handbook of trout and salmon diseases written primarily for the fish farmer, but of use to biologists interested in disease problems. Covers the etiology, prevention, and treatment of salmonid diseases.
This new third edition is greatly revised, with considerable use of colour illustrations, and provides a wealth of information hitherto unavailable to the farmer on new diseases and on new problems with older ones. It also addresses the newer production technologies and their disease problems and the new treatments such as vaccines which were merely promising research topics when the last edition was produced ten years ago.
This text is the product of fifty years’ combined experience of the salmon farming industry by two veterinarians who have been involved from the very start, and has for many years been a recommended text for students at many levels. The authors do not presuppose any prior knowledge of fish biology or pathology, and use common names (where they won’t cause confusion). This fully updated and revised edition will be a must for all concerned with diseases of salmonids.
