First-edition paperback of Tim Low’s landmark exposé, Feral Future: The Untold Story of Australia’s Exotic Invaders, is the must-have reference for anyone who wants to understand how rabbits, cane toads, lantana, carp and hundreds of other introduced species have reshaped the continent. Published by Viking in 1999 and now scarce in clean first-printing condition, this 380-page illustrated volume delivers the full science, politics and ecological fallout of Australia’s biological invasions in Low’s trademark page-turning style—equal parts detective story, environmental history and field guide.
What makes this copy collectible is its completeness: no ex-library markings, inscriptions or smoke odour, just tight, bright pages and the original illustrated wraps—ideal for both researchers and YA/adult readers who need a trustworthy, citation-ready source. With climate-driven biosecurity debates back in the headlines, owning the first edition ensures you have the unedited data, maps and species lists that later reprints sometimes truncate.
Whether you’re a student writing on invasive ecology, an educator building a curriculum on Australian environmental history, or a conservationist preparing submissions to local councils, Feral Future remains the go-to authority cited by scientists and policymakers two decades on. Secure this very-good-condition first printing now before later reprints become the only option.
