Australian Archaeologists Book of Quotations: Australian History

Editat de Mike Smith, Billy Griffiths
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2015
Australian archaeology has been involved in a great enterprise over the last sixty years, uncovering the deep past of a desert continent and the history of its first people. This book is a guide to the catchphrases of the discipline. It is a meditation on science and place, culture and politics, deep time and the Dreaming and it is steeped in an appreciation of good writing and a well-turned phrase. Woven in amongst these quotations is the story of how, as a nation, we are coming to terms with ancient Australia. The entries are drawn from letters and journals, histories and poems, newspapers and novels. Each has been chosen because it is a pithy summation of an issue. Combined, they map the development of the field and encourage a dialogue between science and the humanities.

Recenzii

The editors show the diverse and storied influences on the history and practice of archaeology in Australia, from Deuteronomy to Gough Whitlam. Black-and-white photographs of archaeologists, Aboriginal peoples, and Australian landscapes accompany and contextualise the quotations, earthing them and illustrating a handful of archaeological encounters. A pint-sized collection that punches well above its weight, this collection is a must-have for active and armchair adventurers alike. - Ruth A Morgan, Australian Review of Books October 2015
