John Gould's Extinct and Endangered Mammals of Australia is a prominent 2014 book written by contemporary Australian zoologist and policy developer Dr Fred Ford. Published by the National Library of Australia, the book focuses on 46 native mammal species that have either become extinct or are highly threatened since they were originally documented by British naturalist John Gould in the mid-19th century. The Core Concept: The book serves as a historical and ecological bridge. It contrasts the relatively untouched Australian wilderness that John Gould experienced in the late 1830s with the stark realities of environmental decline today. The Baseline Text: Between 1845 and 1863, John Gould published his landmark three-volume work, The Mammals of Australia, featuring 182 stunning, hand-coloured lithographic plates. The Modern Lens: Fred Ford takes 46 of those species to tell a broader story about colonization, changing landscapes, and conservation. Historical Witness: Ironically, while Gould warned of the impending decline of Australian fauna due to unregulated hunting and habitat alteration, his collectors killed thousands of specimens to create his artistic inventories. Features in Each Species Entry:The book organizes each animal's profile into an "opener spread" designed for comprehensive historical tracking: Original Artwork: Features the lavish color plates illustrated by H.C. Richter and Elizabeth Gould from the 1863 publication. At a Glance Summaries: Brief overviews detailing scientific nomenclature and current EPBC conservation classifications. Distribution Maps: Comparison maps tracking the animal's former historical range versus its current distribution, including reintroduction zones. Timeline of Decline: Chronological tracking of the species' history post-European colonisation, highlighting the introduction of feral pests (like foxes and cats), land clearing, and early colonial attitudes. Notable Species Highlighted: The book covers several iconic and tragic cases of Australian wildlife loss: The Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger): Wiped out on the mainland thousands of years ago, the last known specimen famously died in captivity at Hobart Zoo in 1936. Pig-footed Bandicoot: A delicate desert-dwelling marsupial that vanished entirely by the mid-20th century. Desert Rat-Kangaroo: A small marsupial perfectly adapted to drought variations that succumbed to introduced predators by 1935.Surviving Species: The text also includes vulnerable mammals fighting for survival through modern ecological programs, such as the Numbat, Koala, and Common Wombat.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. A faint small mark on tail foredge and inside back cover. Packed in cheek by jowl with fellow passengers and crew, life on board the ships transporting convicts and free settlers from Britain and Ireland to Australia in the nineteenth century was rigidly defined by social class: lower-class passengers dined on homemade concoctions of mutton fat pudding and preserved potatoes, while those travelling first-class enjoyed elaborate multi-course dinners, including fresh meat, slaughtered on board. Navigating the social mores on these giant floating microcosms was only half the story. Amid the chronicles of flirtations and hijinks, odours and rats, nineteenth-century diaries capture tales of despotic captains, disease and domestic discord. From those sailing under servitude to emigrants seeking a new life, the people who braved the journey changed Australia.…
