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 ow they imposed themselves on the land, and describes how they brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. Now, with the realisation that colonisation began with invasion, present-day Australians are - more than ever before - coming to terms with their past and recognising the need to redefine and reposition Australia in a changing world. This is the most up-to-date single-volume Australian history available.

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。
