Concise History of Australia. Stuart Macintyre1402 руб
For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands years old. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, as a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions was long frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness, until it came to terms with its origins. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It covers the rise and fall of the Howard government, the 2007 election and the apology to the stolen generation. The third edition of this acclaimed book recounts the key factors - social, economic and political - that have shaped modern-day Australia. Из серии: Cambridge Concise Histories 2009. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future. |
