Australia since the coming of man by Russel Ward (Second Hand Book)

Description SECOND HAND BOOK – EX LIBRARY This is a new, entirely updated edition of Russel Ward’s illustrated history, Australia Since the Coming of Man. Completely revised and expanded from earlier works, it encompasses the events of the late 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s to 1987–including U.S.-Australian relations, the effects of Australia’s participation in the war in Vietnam, the Labor Government of the early 1970s, the dramatic and divisive events of the constitutional crisis of 1975, the coalition government of Malcolm Fraser, the rise to power of R. J. Hawke and Australia under his Labor Government and finally Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s bid for federal power. Besides this new material, Russel Ward takes up three deep-rooted themes which are also new to most general histories of Australia. They are the part played by Aborigines since pre-history, by the navigator-explorers long before white settlement, and by women in the white, male-dominated society of the past two centuries.
