The catalogue / book produced to accompany the exhibition Simply — a curated selection of 60 photographs by Peter Dombrovskis, published by West Wind Press, Sandy Bay, Tasmania in 2006. Dombrovskis died in March 1996 while photographing in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park — he was found beside his camera, having suffered a heart attack in the wilderness he had spent his life documenting.

VVHickman OBE was Professor of Biology at the University of Tasmania 1943-1959, and became recognised as Australia's leading arachnologist. He personally described numerous Tasmanian spider species, including the Tasmanian funnel-web spider, and was honoured with an entire genus and family named after him — Hickmania and Hickmaniidae, the Tasmanian cave spider. This guide introduces Tasmania's common spiders through his own photographs and detailed drawings.

This book is a report of a distributional survey of the common intertidal invertebrate animals of the whole of the Tamar River in the north of Tasmania.
