Struan K Sutherland Livres

Australia is inhabited by some of the most venomous land and sea creatures in the world and Straun Sutherland is Australia's best-known expert on poisonous creatures, particularly spiders and snakes. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Sutherland describes sixty such creatures, ranging from the Death Adder and the Black House Spider, to the Blue-Ringed Octopus, the Bearded Ghoul (a stinging fish), and the Portuguese Man-of-War. He provides a factual description of each animal, a high-quality four-color photograph to allow for easy identification, line drawings when needed, descriptions of the appropriate first aid for bites or stings, and a map showing its distribution throughout Australia.

Many poisonous Australian animals lurk in the bush and in the sea, and you could also find them in your clothes or maybe in your bed! Don't panic, though. Read this book and learn -- what these poisonous creatures look like, where they like to live and what they like to eat; how to avoid poisonous bites and stings; how to save the life of someone who has been bitten or stung. With this book you can enjoy your holidays in the bush and by the sea -- as long as you Take Care!
