The history ceases to be predictable- and dull.'From the author of The Shortest History of Europe, acclaimed historian John Hirst, comes this fresh and stimulating approach to understanding Australia's past and present. Hirst asks and answers questions that get to the heart of Australia's history: Why did Aborigines not take up farming? How did a penal colony change peacefully into a democratic society? Why was Australia so prosperous so early? Why did the colonies federate? What effect did convict origins have on national character? Why was the postwar migration programme a success? Why is Australia not a republic? Engaging and enjoyable, and written for the novice and the expert alike, Australian History in 7 Questions explains how we became the nation we are today. 517 1 $aAustralian history in seven questions 607 $aAustralia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a994.5 700 $aHirst$b John $0751675 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464341003321 996 $aAustralian history in 7 questions$92123264 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01808oam 2200541zu 450 001 9910145677803321 005 20241212215714.0 010 $a9781509081905 010 $a1509081909 035 $a(CKB)1000000000711307 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000395909 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12128318 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000395909 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10461265 035 $a(PQKB)11763024 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000711307 100 $a20160829d2008 uy 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a16th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension : 10-13 June 2008, Amsterdam, The Netherlands 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cIEEE Computer Society$d2008 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780769531762 311 08$a0769531768 606 $aComputer programs$vCongresses 606 $aSoftware maintenance$vCongresses 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aComputer Science$2HILCC 615 0$aComputer programs 615 0$aSoftware maintenance 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aComputer Science 676 $a005.1/6 702 $aKrikhaar$b René´ 702 $aLèammel$b Ralf 702 $aLämmel$b Ralf 702 $aVerhoef$b C 702 $aKrikhaar$b Renââe 712 02$aIEEE Computer Society 712 02$aIEEE Computer Society Technical Council on Software Engineering 712 12$aIEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a9910145677803321 996 $a16th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension : 10-13 June 2008, Amsterdam, The Netherlands$92384591 997 $aUNINA
