Media Reviews
The writing throughout is lively and lucid, and the difficult task of depicting Australian society, in all its complexities, is accomplished well, with attention paid to the downside of life Down Under, as well as the oftcited positive aspects....this is a first-rate reference work and should delight both Australians and readers elsewhere who seek a clear and comprehensive sourcebook on Australia.
