The Cartographic Eye: How Explorers Saw Australia
ISBN: 9780521571128 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about the mythologies of land exploration, and about space and the colonial enterprise in particular. It is an innovative investigation of the presumptions, aesthetics and politics of Australian explorers' texts that shows that they are not the simple, unadorned observations their authors would have us believe.

It will be a crucial text for readers in cultural, postcolonial and Australian studies.
