Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Miracle on Black Mountain
This is the story of the only major metropolitan botanic garden devoted wholly to Australiaâs native flora. This richly illustrated book presents the first full-scale history of the Australian National Botanic Gardens. It delves into their unique past, their social and scientific context, their exciting Living Collection and Herbarium, as well as their influential research, outreach and education sectors. Readers meet the workforce, including some colourful and inspiriting characters, and administrators with ideas of their own about what the Garden should be. Going back to the early decades before the official opening, Don Beer, in a detailed and sensitive account, follows the story to the present day, highlighting the Gardensâ exceptional contributions to botany, horticulture and society.
