Turning Points in Australian Histor
ISBN: 9781921410567 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'If only', 'what if' and 'why didn't we' are phrases that often come to mind when we look back to the past. This exciting and stimulating book looks back at turning points and crucial moments in Australian history. Rather than arguing that there have been forks on a pre-determined road, the book challenges us to think about other paths or better paths that might have led to different outcomes. It shows that a decisive event often becomes so only in retrospect and that what seemed like a major turning point at the time often had no real impact at all.

In 1826, the British set up a garrison on the edges of an Aboriginal world at King George's Sound - the site of present day Albany, Western Australia - with the aim of deterring the French from occupying the area.

Within this sphere, associations and friendships were formed that were as surprising as they were unique. This ethnographic history narrates several intimate cross-cultural stories of the...
