Reseñas

Politically Complete


(3.5 estrellas)

It is embarrassing to know practically nothing about an entire continent! I now know a lot more about Australia and New Zealand--well, a lot more about the history of the Europeans who colonized them and drew the maps. The book is very complete as to explorers, politicians, skirmishes, and economics. Unfortunately, as a product of it's time, there is no mention of the smallpox epidemics which burned through the Aboriginal population in several waves, or the successive ecological disasters which also accompanied the colonists. Probably I need books that are still copyright-protected. The narration is very good; thank you, volunteers.

Informative

I was unaware of the history of this corner of the world, and this book offered a quick summary. While a couple chapters expanded topics way longer than needed, most of the book chose a good pace and amount of detail. Nice survey/summary of the colonization of the various geological locations.
