This stunningly-produced book draws together a complete history of Australia from the geological super continent of Gondwanaland to its modern incarnation as one of the most vibrant countries in the world. With its combination of pull-out facsimiles of original documents, sumptuous illustrations, detailed but lively chapters and information boxes to highlight key personalities or events, The Story of Australia takes the reader on a fascinating voyage through time. Starting with the birth of the land itself and ending with a look into the future, the book takes a largely chronological approach over its 28 chapters, covering the formation and peopling of the modern continent of Australia. Momentous events in history - such as the arrival of James Cook, Federation and the Bicentenary - are examined in detail alongside the broader context of European exploration in the Pacific, the impact of cultural contact on the Aboriginal population, and the formation of a uniquely "Australian" culture. This richly-textured approach makes it a delight to read from cover to cover, for reference - or simply to dip into for a treat. With its all-encompassing and accessible style, the broad appeal of The Story of Australia will attract readers of all ages and interests - from natural history to migration, society, environment and politics.
