Description
Now in a new format, this is a brilliant debut by a wonderful popular science writer. James Woodford, the Sydney Morning Herald's award-winning science writer, has penned an enthralling detective story about evolution and natural history, detailing the freak survival of a species that offers a window into an ecosystem 100 million years old.
The Wollemi Pine is the story of this incredible discovery and of the tree that became an overnight celebrity. Woodford's fascinating account is a detective story, a scientific mystery, and a timely reminder of the importance of maintaining biological diversity on our planet.
The discovery of the Wollemi pine has revealed new sources of anti-cancer chemicals, as well as other micro-organisms with important medical applications.
