A richly illustrated little photo book that celebrates Australia's natural heritage in full, stunning colour.
Our unique plants and animals are one of the many reasons people visit our country. Australia has more than 27,700 plant species, 378 mammal species, 828 bird species, 4000 fish species, 140 snake species, two crocodile species and around 50 types of marine mammal. However, Australia is also home to some of the most dangerous plants and animals in the world. Our deadliest animals often make the top lists owing to a combination of their venom and defensiveness, as well as their proximity to populated areas. On the face of it, plants may seem innocuous, but about 1000 species of plants in Australia are known to be toxic to animals and humans. Don't wander around Down Under without learning about the 50 most dangerous, deadly and downright dastardly creatures that live here, from our scariest snakes and injury-causing insects to our blood-curdling birds. With animal fact-files, location information and more, Killer Oz is the perfect guide to deadly Australia.

As can beseen from this volume, the Australian Lonergan Workshop aims to encourage a diversity of contributions from across many disciplines and fields, from emerging young voices and those who continually value Lonergan's work to inform, to bring to birth insights stirred by what Frederick Crowe, sj, called 'a profundity we have dimly glimpsed in Lonergan's work; we have a sense of an enormous potential to develop.' The result is a collection ranging from the eclectic, stirring and practical, to the richly theological, and scholarly. Nonetheless, each contribution adds to the valuable ongoing exploration of ideas necessary for conversation and progress. To this end, the Australian Lonergan Workshop while a modest publication, remains an invaluable vehicle for developing Lonergan scholarship in Oceania.
