It has acquired a unique reputation as an introduction to the development of Australian society and was listed by the historian and public intellectual John Hirst in his "First XI: The best Australian history books". The book focuses on the transmission of values, beliefs and customs amongst the diverse mix of peoples who are today's Australians. The story begins with the 60,000 years of the Aboriginal presence and their continuing material and spiritual relationship with the land, and takes readers through the turbulent years of British colonisation and the emergence, through prosperity, war and depression, of the cultural accommodations which have been distinctively Australian. This 3rd Edition concludes with a critical review of the challenges facing contemporary Australia and warns that "we may get the future we deserve"'.

Which subfield is right for me? Do people like me go to graduate school, and succeed? This book provides students a “sneak preview” of math research in a variety of subfields. Each chapter features the work of a different mathematician along with enough background material for an advanced undergraduate or early graduate student to understand the key ideas and get a sense for the styles of thinking involved in each subfield. Each chapter is prefaced by a short biography of the mathematician who wrote the chapter (all people connected to the Carleton College Summer Math Program for Women), providing advice and examples of paths from undergraduate education, through graduate school and beyond. This book provides a source of ideas and starting points for in-class projects, independent studies, and student talks as well as supplementary reading in courses. The profiles of early career mathematicians and statisticians at the beginning of each chapter are valuable as an advising resource for students considering graduate school, or to show students a diverse view of modern mathematicians in a “Math for Liberal Arts”-style course.Association for Women in Mathematics Series,2364-5741 ;36MathematicsHistoryMathematicsStudy and teachingHistory of Mathematical SciencesMathematicsMathematics EducationHistòria de la matemàticathubEnsenyament de la matemàticathubLlibres electrònicsthubMathematics.History.MathematicsStudy and teaching.History of Mathematical Sciences.Mathematics.Mathematics Education.Història de la matemàticaEnsenyament de la matemàtica510.9Brisbin Abra1786173Lange Karen1786174McNicholas Erin1739912Purvine Emilie1786175MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910983331203321Research Connections4317568UNINA
