Book Description
The study of tourism as a complex social phenomenon, beyond simply business, is increasing in importance.

A History of Tasmania, from Its Discovery in 1642 to the Present Time
Author: James FentonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Tasmania
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
James Fenton (1820-1901) was born in Ireland and emigrated to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) with his family in 1833. He became a pioneer settler in an area on the Forth River and published this history of the island in 1884. The book begins with the discovery of the island in 1642 and concludes with the deaths of some significant public figures in the colony in 1884. The establishment of the colony on the island, and the involvement of convicts in its building, is documented. A chapter on the native aborigines gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the colonising people, and a detailed account of the removal of the native Tasmanians to Flinders Island, in an effort to separate them from the colonists. The book also contains portraits of some aboriginal people, as well as a glossary of their language.

The Colonial Earth
Author: Tim BonyhadyPublisher: Melbourne Univ. Publishing
ISBN: 9780522850536
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
"Using the work of great Australian painters and poets as an entry point, this cultural study counters the popular myth that early colonial settlers were environmentally irresponsible and offers both aesthetic and historical evidence that suggests nature always figured prominently in the Australian national consciousness. Preserving endangered species, protecting forests, maintaining public land rights, and staving off climate change were at issue in the first environmental law of Australia enacted in 1788. Parlimentary debates, personal observations, and artistic renderings explore the texture and dimensions of early Australian environmentalism."
