New Ways in an Ancient Land presents a sweeping historical narrative of Australia’s transformation from a British penal colony to a thriving, self-governing nation by the dawn of the twentieth century. The authors chart the arrival of the First Fleet in 1778, the establishment of convict settlements, and the gradual evolution of colonial society through economic expansion, political reform, and cultural adaptation. The volume illustrates the tensions between Indigenous Australians and settlers, the impact of gold rushes, and the forging of a national identity amid hardship and opportunity. Richly illustrated and rigorously structured, the work commands attention as both a visual and intellectual chronicle.
