A detailed review of "Triumph of the Nomads"; sees Blainey's book as " not so much a thesis as an exposition of data, set out in novel and colourful configurations, enlivened by occasional argumentation, and ornamented with figments of the imagination"

Australia is a dynamic multi-cultural society, viewed by many as the world's most desirable place to live. Here Frank Welsh traces Australia's intriguing and varied history to examine how this society emerged, from its ancient Aborigine tribes and earliest British convict settlements to today's modern nation - one that retains strong links with its colonial past but is increasingly independent and diverse. While full of admiration for Australia, Welsh also exposes national myths and confronts the darker side of its history - oppression of the Aboriginal peoples and the 'White Australia' policy - and places the country in a global context, considering the changing relationship with Britain and its Asian neighbours, as well as more recent alliances with the US. Original, provocative and entertaining, Great Southern Land provides the most comprehensive one-volume history of this endlessly fascinating nation.

Pyne traces the impact of fire in Australia, from its influence on vegetation to its use by Aborigines and European settlers.“Mr. Pyne, showing what a historian deeply schooled in environmental science can contribute to our awareness of nature and culture, has produced a provocative work that is a major contribution to the literature of environmental studies.”—New York Times Book Review

Australian civilisation is described in this book with subtlety and irony as a 'wildly problematic, discursive and sometimes cranky thing. It can be a sensitive thing. It can still be chauvinistic'. The book brings together leading intellectuals who discuss the various dynamics ofcivilisation in the Australian context. They debate openly and honestly the strengths and weaknesses of Australian civilisation. The contributors each narrate Australian civilisation from monographic viewpoints. By considering Aboriginality, Henry Reynolds and John Barnes produce 'History' and'Legend'. By analysing Australia's cultural and demographic diversity Bruce Bennett, James Jupp and Laksiri Jayasuriya produce 'Myth', 'Identity' and 'Citizens'. Sexuality and political discourse surrounding issues of gender result in 'Homosexuality' by Dennis Altman and 'Women' by MargaretReynolds. Political culture brings forth 'Politicians' by Sol Encel and 'Intellectuals' by James Walter. The production, reproduction, dissemination and reception of culture produces 'Cringers', 'Strutters', and 'Culture' from Elaine Thompson, Chris Wallace-Crabbe and Andrew Milner. Together thesemonographic views narrate the central concerns of this volume. The production of a master narrative is resisted. But it is equally obvious that in the diversity of approaches - the pluralism of the monographic views - there are recurring important themes. This timely book is concerned with thetremendous changes that have overtaken Australia in the second half of this century. It demonstrates that many time-honoured beliefs have been broken up, but argues that this intensely creative period has seen Australia transformed from a provincial inward-looking society with blinkered conceptionsof history and self-importance to one of the world's oldest and most successful liberal plural democracies.

The vast shape-shifting continent of Australia enables us to take a long view of history. We consider ways to cross the great divide between the deep past and the present. Australia’s human past is not a short past, so we need to enlarge the scale and scope of history beyond 1788. In ways not so distant, these deeper times happened in the same places where we walk today. Yet, they were not the same places, having different surfaces, ecologies and peoples. Contributors to this volume show how the earth and its past peoples can wake us up to a sense of place as history – as a site of both change and continuity. This book ignites the possibilities of what the spaces and expanses of history might be. Its authors reflect upon the need for appropriate, feasible timescales for history, pointing out some of the obstacles encountered in earlier efforts to slice human time into thematic categories. Time and history are considered from the perspective of physics, archaeology, literature, western and Indigenous philosophy. Ultimately, this collection argues for imaginative new approaches to collaborative histories of deep time that are better suited to the challenges of the Anthropocene. Contributors to this volume, including many leading figures in their respective disciplines, consider history’s temporality, and ask how history might expand to accommodate a chronology of deep time. Long histories that incorporate humanities, science and Indigenous knowledge may produce deeper meanings of the worlds in which we live.
