Odyssey Illustrated Guide to Australia (Odyssey Illustrated Guides) - Hardcover
An illustrated guide to the island continent with all its idiosyncracies of Aussi life which are examined in essays on topics such as the clannish rituals of the pub, the irreverent 'Stine' vocabulary. There is also a generous sampling of excerpts from literature by and about Australians, including Captain Cook's initial assessment of the local populace.

About the Author:
Hannah Robinson has been a nature-watcher all her life, starting out as a volunteer inspector for the International Bee Research Association. She has been a volunteer hike leader with the National Parks Service since 1996. Robinson spent fourteen years as a communications executive at Harcourt Brace, Addison Wesley, and other publishing companies before leaving to spend more time doing what she loves. You can now find her either in the wilderness of a jungle, or in the wilds of a chemistry classroom where she teaches high school. She has a degree in biochemistry and physiology.
