Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The contribution of the immigrant Irish to politics, law and professional life in general in Australia is well known, but a perception persists that few of the Irish had the skills or drive to set up manufacturing plants.

This elegant, original, informative study reveals that a vibrant emerald strand ran through the complex fabric of Victoria’s industrial history. (publisher blurb)
