A landmark reference work in Australian natural history, The Australian Museum Complete Book of Australian Mammals stands as the most comprehensive photographic survey of the continent's unique mammalian fauna ever assembled. Edited by Ronald Strahan and produced in collaboration with the National Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife, this authoritative volume catalogues every known species of Australian mammal — from the iconic kangaroo and platypus to the rarely seen marsupial mole — presenting detailed species accounts alongside stunning photographic documentation that brings the diversity of Australia's wildlife into vivid focus. Far more than a field guide, this volume represents the collective expertise of Australia's leading zoologists and naturalists, synthesising decades of scientific research into an accessible yet rigorously accurate compendium. Strahan's editorial vision ensures a consistency of tone and depth that is both scholarly and approachable, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, naturalists, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. With its sweeping scope and meticulous attention to detail, this is a book that raises a profound question: how many of these remarkable creatures, so carefully documented here, still roam the Australian wilderness today?
