Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with corners now protected by book tape. The previous owner has added a large inscription to the title page.

Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old.

For much of the past 200 years, the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land and describes how they brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. (back cover)
