Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of HTML and XHTML: The Definitive Guide, Fifth Edition is a koala. The koala is an Australian marsupial, the only member of the Phascolarctidae family. When they are born, koalas are tiny, weighing approximately 0.5 grams. A young koala stays in its mother's pouch for approximately seven months. Unlike most marsupials, the koala's pouch opens near the rear, not near the head. Koalas have a high mortality rate and face extinction in Australia due to epidemics in 1887-1889 and 1900-1903 and unrestrained hunting throughout the 20th century. They are a protected species. Populations are rebuilding, but at present, they survive only in eastern Australia. Rachel Wheeler was the production editor and proofreader for HTML and XHTML: The Definitive Guide, Fifth Edition.
