Patrick Howard's history of the harvesting of the King William Pine — Athrotaxis selaginoides — one of Tasmania's most distinctive and ancient native conifers, endemic to the island's cool temperate rainforests and alpine areas, and historically one of its most prized timbers. King Billy pine grows slowly over centuries in some of Tasmania's most remote country — the west coast, the Tarkine, the highland lakes area and the south-west.
This Folio Society volume presents Steven Pinker’s foundational work on linguistics and cognitive science, The Language Instinct. The text argues that language is a human biological adaptation rather than a cultural creation, blending cognitive neurobiology with evolutionary anthropology.

A history of the female convicts transported from England to Van Diemen's Land aboard the Duchess of Northumberland in 1852–1853 — the last convict ship to bring female prisoners to Tasmania before transportation to the colony ended. The book documents the women themselves — who they were, what brought them to transportation, and what happened to them after arrival in a colony where convict transportation was already winding down.
