True Gardens of the Gods: Californian-Australian Environmental Reform, 1860a 1930
ISBN: 9780520213463 / Angielski / Twarda / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most critical environmental challenges facing both Californians and Australians in the 1860s involved the aftermath of the gold rushes.

As this cutting-edge history shows, an important result of this nineteenth-century effort to "renovate" nature was a far-reaching exchange of ideas between the United States--especially in California--and Australia. Ian...
