on publication of her new book KOALA, A HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY. Ann has been a WISENet member since its inception
and memorably promotes Australian science and the work of Australian scientists. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book imparts rare knowledge and insights about our unusual Australian Koala. The publication adds to Ann’s world-wide reputation as a Science Historian. This publication also represents a significant addition to our Australian literature, following on from the very successful PLATYPUS which went through many reprints and was translated into other languages. PLATYPUS became a reference for scientists and naturalists and is even more so now that the platypus genome has been sequenced (Nature 453, 175-183 - 8 May 2008).
