About JACANA BOOKS
Jacana Books is the natural history imprint of Allen & Unwin.
Written and illustrated by authors who are leaders in their field, Jacana specialises in books about Australian plants, animals, landscape and environments for general readers, students and scientists.
Accessible to the lay reader, but written with rigorous scientific accuracy, books published under the Jacana imprint are distinguished by their strong visual content, with full colour illustrations or photographs throughout, and distribution maps for pinpoint accuracy.
Jacana's great range of authoritative reference works are published to satisfy the broadest of markets by Louise Egerton, who has many years experience publishing into this market at both Reed Books and New Holland. In addition to the remarkable schedule of new titles, a regular programme of revision and updating will ensure the long-term appeal of these books.
