Steve Irwin, an Australian wildlife conservationist, brought adventure and the wilderness to television with his wildly popular TV show The Crocodile Hunter. Known for his hands-on approach to dealing with all kinds of wild animals—the dangerous and the poisonous included—Irwin was tragically killed when a stingray barb pierced his chest while he was taping a show segment in 2006. His legacy, however, continues through the work of his family, including his daughter, Bindi Sue. Already making a name for herself as "the Jungle Girl" in television, film, and books, Bindi has taken over where her father left off. In Steve and Bindi Irwin, Updated Edition, read about the lives and passions of both the Crocodile Hunter and the Jungle Girl.

Der Roman, erschienen 1936, wird neu, mit einem Nachwort von Jeanette Winterson, vorgelegt. Nachtgewächs, der Roman der Liebe einer Frau zu einer anderen Frau – einer Leidenschaft, die unstillbares Verlangen in der einen und tiefe Einsamkeit in der andern weckt –, wäre nicht geschrieben worden, wenn die Liebe zu der Bildhauerin Thelma Wood die Autorin nicht bis in die tiefste Verzweiflung geführt hätte.
