Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) To the Islands offers a unique perspective on the evolution of economic, social and political interconnections between Australia and its island region spanning two centuries, from the early years of British colonization to the present day. The book advances the argument that globalizing processes are drawing Australia incrementally closer to modern day South East Asia and the wider Asia Pacific.

ISBN: 9780816669974 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Road to Botany Bay, first published in 1987 and considered a classic in the field of cultural and historical geography, examines the poetic constitution of colonial society. Through a far-reaching exploration of Australia's mapping, narrative description, early urbanism, and bush mythology, Paul Carter exposes the mythopoetic mechanisms of empire. A powerfully written account of the ways in which language, history, and geography influenced the territorial theater of nineteenth-century imperialism, the book is also a call to think, write, and live differently.

The Quarantined Culture: Australian Reactions to Modernism, 1913-1939
ISBN: 9780521477130 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 1913 the Australian press displayed a cosmopolitan openness to the culture of the modern world. By 1919, however, Australia had become an inward-looking society bent on keeping the outside world out - a quarantined culture. This book looks at the impact of the First World War on Australian culture, focusing on reactions to modernist art. John Williams argues that the creation of the Anzac legend, the back-to-the-land movement, notions of racial superiority and the mythology of the masculine nation were reactionary and anti-modern. Reflecting this, Australian pioneers of post-impressionism...

Champagne from Six to Six: A Brief Social History of Entertainments and Recreations at Beechworth and the Ovens Goldfields, Victoria Australia 18
ISBN: 9781609112431 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In mid-19th-century Australia, like its counterparts in California and Chile, there was a focus on the rush for gold. Given the sobriquet "diggers," men arrived in the tens of thousands from all points of the globe. In often remote bush settings, makeshift towns quickly sprouted in the foothills, valleys, and plateaus leading to the Blue Mountains and the Australian Alps. Focusing on the counterplay with this influx of fortune seekers, there also emerged a nascent global entertainment industry. Champagne from Six to Six is a short history of the pastimes of these diggers on the gold fields at...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This title offers an original and compelling insight into why Australians have come to exhibit their nationhood in curious new ways - such as spontaneously bellowing the national anthem at sporting events.

ISBN: 9783034313728 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As both dissenters and evangelicals, Baptists have had an intriguing and often complex relationship with society. This book casts light on that relationship by tracing the history of Baptist involvement in public debate within New Zealand. It analyses ten significant public debates to have occurred since the 1880s, comparing the Baptist contribution with that of other denominations. By showing how Baptist approaches to public issues have changed over time, this study provides significant insights into the evolving nature of Baptist identity. It argues that evangelical theology fundamentally...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Louis Antoine de Bougainville reached Tahiti in 1768, he was struck by the way in which 'All these people came crying out tayo, which means friend, and gave a thousand signs of friendship; they all asked nails and ear-rings of us.' Reading the archive of early contact in Oceania against European traditions of thinking about intimacy and exchange, Vanessa Smith illuminates the traditions and desires that led Bougainville and other European voyagers to believe that the first word they heard in the Pacific was the word for friend. Her book encompasses forty years of encounters from the...

A Voyage to Terra Australis: Undertaken for the Purpose of Completing the Discovery of That Vast Country, and Prosecuted in the Years 1801, 1802, a
ISBN: 9781108018197 / Angielski / Miękka / 630 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the early nineteenth century, Australia remained largely uncharted, and doubt prevailed as to its unity as a continent. The 1801 expedition led by English mariner and cartographer Matthew Flinders (1774 1814), was groundbreaking in this respect. Flinders' charting of the Australian coastline provided the first complete map outlining the continent, and his influence was decisive in changing its name from Terra Australis to Australia - a term 'more agreeable to the ear'. Structured around daily geographical and astronomical observations, Flinders' journals - published in 1814, the day before...

Watching the Sun Rise: Australian Reporting of Japan, 1931 to the Fall of Singapore
ISBN: 9780739107829 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Historians have long claimed that a tradition of fear of Japan dominated Australian thinking about foreign affairs and defense after Japan's defeat of Russia in 1905 and that this fear remained widespread throughout the Australian population until the Pacific War. This study of Australian reporting on Japan challenges that claim by exposing a culture of state censorship, intimidation of the media, and neglect of official public discussion of foreign affairs in the years 1931-1941 which resulted in newspapers, radio, and news reels projecting a collective national consciousness of Japan as a...

The Most Dangerous Man in Australia?
ISBN: 9781921479847 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Who was "the most dangerous man in Australia" in the years before World War II? Was it the geologist who obtained nickel and molybdenite to prolong the life of Krupp guns and help "our dear Fuhrer" to win the next war? Or perhaps the journalist who took Japanese money in return for persuading politicians that the peace-loving Japanese were no threat to Australia? Or the Vichy French Consul-General who urged the Japanese to seize New Caledonia, while he threatened the lives of Free French supporters in Australia? These are some of the intriguing characters to be found in this book. Judge for...
