Der Kelpie ist eine Hütehundrasse, die mittlerweiler immer mehr Anhänger findet und unter Hundefreunden, die einen zuverlässigen Hütehund suchen oder aktiv mit ihrem Vierbeiner einen Sport ausüben möchten, die ideale Wahl ist. Sowohl der Australian Kelpie, der von der FCI als Rasse anerkannt ist und nicht mehr vorwiegend für die Hütearbeit eingesetzt wird, als auch der Working Kelpie, bei dem man in der Zucht vor allem auf Arbeitsleistung achtet, werden in diesem Buch vorgestellt.
Besondere Schwerpunkte sind neben der Historie und den typischen Eigenschaften der Rasse der Einsatz bei der Hütearbeit, die dem Kelpie einfach im Blut liegt, sowie den verschiedenen Hundesportarten.

Uta Reichenbach holte 1998, als diese Rasse hier noch weitgehend unbekannt war, ihren ersten Kelpie direkt aus Australien und gilt bei uns als einer der Pioniere in der Kelpie-Szene. Heute zählen vier Kelpies zu ihrem Rudel, die sowohl im Hundesport als auch für die Hütearbeit an ihren Schafen eingesetzt werden. Als langjährige Hundetrainerin hat Uta Reichenbach schon mehrere Hundebücher verfasst.

In this vividly photographed book, readers come nose-to-nose with Australia's wildlife in their natural habitats: kangaroos lazing in the sun, minute pygmy-possums clutching delicate branches, and young koalas clinging to their mother's back.

A tragic bush fire sparks a beautiful friendship between a young girl and a baby koala.

Ruby is dreading changing schools as her autism makes it hard to befriend other kids. But when her dog finds a baby koala and her family agrees to foster it, Ruby quickly becomes the koala's best friend.

Ruby loves quiet and routine, which makes her a perfect koala carer! A talented artist, she names the koala Pablo - after her favourite artist. Through looking after Pablo, Ruby befriends a neighbouring girl who loves painting as much as she does.

Soon Pablo is well enough to move to a koala kindergarten. But is Ruby ready to move to her own new school?

Bartagamen faszinieren durch ihr wildes Äußeres und begeistern durch ihr zutrauliches, freundliches Wesen. Die Wärme liebenden Echsen sind sehr pflegeleicht und dank ihres gering ausgeprägten Fluchtverhaltens ideal für den Einstieg in die Terraristik. Damit man die richtige Bartagame findet, werden in diese Buch alle acht Arten der Gattung vorgestellt.

Der Bartagamen-Experte Manfred Au begleitet einen Schritt für Schritt auf dem Weg zum eigenen Bartagamen-Terrarium – von Auswahl und Einrichtung des Terrariums über Kauf und Eingewöhnung der Agamen bis hin zu Pflege, Fütterung, Zucht und Gesunderhaltung. Zudem verrät der Autor viele Praxistipps aus seiner langjährigen Zuchterfahrung, die auch dem erfahrenen Bartagamenfreund wichtige Infos für die erfolgreiche Haltung der kleinen Echsen bieten.

Whitley Award Winning Buch "Best Zoological Series" Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales

There are over 700 species of birds in Australia, and this book provides an introduction to the major groups, with an emphasis on those that the amateur naturalist and nature-lover is most likely to see. The book is organized into six sections which cover birds of prey, waders and waterbirds, seabirds, songbirds, pigeons and parrots and other birds. Information is organized simply, with individual species or group entries describing key characteristics - where they are found, food requirements and behavioural habits. Each entry is accompanied by a colour photograph and, where appropriate, distribution maps.

A key feature of the text is the "gee whiz" spreads which answer many of the most commonly asked questions about why birds do what they do, revealing facts and providing practical information for the amateur enthusiast. In addition, fact panels interspersed throughout highlight surprising snippets of information. The book aims to heighten the reader's interest in the natural world.

Text and photographs describe the physical characteristics, habits and life cycle of this favourite Australian marsupial.
