This book records the opinions of one hundred people who saw the land in its unchanged state one to two hundred years ago, and the cities as they developed. The book remakes the conception of Australia. Henry Lawson, Adam Lindsay Gordon and others wrote well enough to daub a permanent drab coat over the loveliness that was Australia. They saw it through the eyes of settlers trying to build farms with insufficient land, money, and knowledge. The casual first observers of the country and the city found them beautiful. They transform the modern notions of a harsh landscape into a garden of wildflowers. They transform the wood-and-canvas huts fronting streets of mud and dust of early towns into buildings both costly and economical of extraordinary elegance.They transform the European people from drunken, licentious convicts and opportunists into members of an intelligent, vigorous, adaptable, and proud society. They transform Aboriginal Australians into highly intelligent people with great artistic ability.…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
