Melbourne, Macmillan Co. of Aust, 1976. reprint - h/c in d.j. Ancient Australia is often seen as a land of stagnation, and the early Australians were for long depicted as one of the most primitive peoples on earth. Professor Blainey presents a different picture - one where Aboriginals were triumphant in their discovery of the land, triumphant in their adaptation to it and in their mastery of its contrasting climates, seasons and resources. 22 x 15cm., map end/p., pp. x + 285, b/w illus., notes & sources, index, v.g. in d.j.
