Dynasties 2: More Remarkable and Influential Australian Families by Geraldine O'Brien

Book Description

Secondhand. Fair to good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Tear to surface of cover at spine and back cover. Interior and binding are very good.

Aarons - Archer - Ashton - Belgiorno-Nettis - Boyd - Forrest - Kidman - Street. Each of these families has influenced Australia in some way, whether through social activism, entertainment, business, mining, agriculture, exploration or the law.

Some were once household names; some are still. Yet none are the same. Some families have been in Australia for generations and have seen their influence dwindle or grow. Others are relatively new. But each family has its unique shape and set of internal forces which affect the legacy they leave.

Drawing on research and interviews from the hugely popular ABC Television series, Dynasties 2 retells the stories of eight families and examines how this dynastic legacy has shaped their lives. (publishers blurb)
