ISBN: 9781849025652 / Angielski / Twarda / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Matthew Flinders set out in 1801 to carry out a 'complete examination and survey' of the coast of New Holland, little did he know that he would be away for over ten years. Although he did not coin the term 'Australia' he keenly advocated its use, rather than the clumsy 'Terra Australis' and will always be associated with its adoption. As well as his meticulous surveys and maps, he made many observations on ship-board life, flora and fauna, and the appearance and customs of the native peoples he encountered. Volume 1 starts with a thorough review of previous exploratory voyages to the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 1852 William Howitt (1792 1879) set sail for Australia with two of his sons in order to try his luck in the goldfields of Victoria. By then he was already a prolifically published author of both prose and verse. He was only moderately successful as a gold-digger, but his account of life in the new colony, published in 1855 after his return to England, provides an extraordinary snapshot of the rapid early growth of Melbourne. Volume 1 covers Howitt's first impressions of Australia, his experiences on the journey to the diggings at Bendigo, the throngs of prospectors, the exorbitant prices...

Notes and Sketches of New South Wales: During a Residence in That Colony from 1839 to 1844
ISBN: 9781108024174 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Louisa Anne Meredith (1812 1895) had published poetry, journalism, and books on flowers before emigrating to Australia in 1839. Her account of her journey there and her early impressions of the people were somewhat derogatory, and caused considerable offence in Sydney, although the book was widely read both in Australia and in England. However, her lyrical descriptions of nature were extremely popular, and she was also a talented illustrator of her own work. She published some twenty books, and many other writings, making her one of the most commercially successful women writers in Australia....

ISBN: 9780415895804 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Most investigations of foreign-born migrants emphasize the successful adjustment and settlement of newcomers. Yet suicide, heavy drinking, violence, family separations, and domestic disharmony were but a few of the possible struggles experienced by those who relocated abroad in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and were among the chief reasons for committal to an asylum. Significant analysis of this problem, addressing the interconnected issues of migration, ethnicity, and insanity, has to date received little attention from the scholarly community. This international collection...
