Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands years old. For much of the past 225 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. The fourth edition incorporates the far-reaching effects of an export and investment boom in the early years of the twenty-first century that lifted Australia to unprecedented prosperity. The sale of minerals and energy enabled the economy to withstand the global financial crisis of 2007–08 but there was no agreement on how the wealth was to be managed and its benefits distributed. The book describes a continuing search for solutions to climate change, the unauthorised arrival of refugees, Indigenous disadvantage and generational change.

澳大利亚的历史,要从五万年前讲起
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这本澳大利亚史可以说非常全面了。从5万年前土著人在澳大利亚这块土地上定居开始讲起。将澳大利亚的历史分为了几个阶段:强制时期、进步时代、黄金时代等。这是块神奇的土地,远离其他大陆,自成一岛,岛上有繁盛的植物和动物,还有丰富的矿产资源。 大航海时期荷兰曾经将这里... (展开)从刑惩殖民地到现代澳大利亚的苏醒历程
本身历史就不长的澳大利亚,作者又浓缩精炼了,只能取大意。
