It begins with an archaeological examination of the continent’s Indigenous history, which dates back 50,000 years. This volume examines the irst European encounters with Australia and its Indigenous people, and the subsequent colonisation of the land by the British in the late eighteenth century, providing insight into the realities of a convict society and how this shaped the nation’s development.  \nPart I traces the dynamic growth in Australia’s economy, demography and industry throughout the nineteenth century, as it moved towards a system of liberal democracy and one of the most deining events in its history: the Federation of the colonies in 1901. Part II ofers a deeper investigation of key topics, such as relations between Indigenous people and settlers, and Australia’s colonial identity. It also covers the economy, science and technology, law and literature.  \nThis volume is informed by a geographic sensibility: land emerges as a central theme in Australian history, shaping its political, legal and social past; and the authors examine regional and Australian–Paciic ideas of history and identity.  \nAlison Bashford is Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney, and has been elected Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge.  \nStuart Macintyre is Ernest Scott Professor of History in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia.  \nTHE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF  \nAUSTRALIA  \n*  \nVOLUME 1  \nIndigenous and Colonial Australia  \n*  \nEdited by  \nALISON BASH FORD  \nand  \nSTUART MAC IN TYRE  \n477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York Cambridge University Press is part of the University of Cambridge.  \nIt furthers the University’s mission by disseminating knowledge in the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence.  \n[www.cambridge.org](www.cambridge.org)  \nInformation on this [title: www.cambridge.org/9781107011557](title: www.cambridge.org/9781107011557)[ ](title: www.cambridge.org/9781107011557)© Cambridge University Press 2013  \nThis publication is copyright.
