Charles Francis Laseron, a distinguished scientist and naturalist, presents a compelling account of how ancient seas, volcanic activity, erosion, and tectonic shifts combined to create one of the world's most distinctive continents. Revised by J. N. Jennings, the edition brings renewed scientific rigour to Laseron's original narrative, updating key findings while preserving the author's authoritative and accessible prose. The book details the formation of iconic landforms — from the worn plateaus of the outback to the coastal ranges — illustrating the deep geological story beneath Australia's ancient terrain. It remains an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the physical origins and enduring character of the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888005263579,"sku":"2026200006948-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e532f5d9-b5f7-4546-8c2c-f8f9e4644883.png?v=1781752285","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006948-secondhand-the-face-of-australia-the-shaping-of-a-continent","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
