The Europeans in Australia: A History. Vol. 1 The Beginning: The Beginning Vol 1

by Alan Atkinson (Author)

Synopsis

In the first volume of his history of Australia, Alan Atkinson covers the first impact of European power on Australia. He argues that the Europeans were not simply conquerors, that their own cultures were infinitely complex, thickly-woven with ideas about spirituality, authority, self and land, all of which influenced the development of Australia.
