�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The parallel lives and voyages of the explorers Flinders and Baudin as they traveled to Australia and explored the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania are traced in this comparative history. Unlike most historical accounts that follow Flinders's travels, this takes its lead from the voyages of Baudin and then juxtaposes the two voyages with first hand accounts, charts, and illustrations that compare and contrast the "Anglo" and "Franco" interpretations. A complex and fascinating tale is woven, one that is steeped in the language and the imagery of a unique period of world exploration.

Anbieterinformationen

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
