AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'What makes Australia great? Is it the sport we play, the food we eat or the art we create? Is it the way we talk or the discoveries we've made? Does greatness reside in our noteworthy individuals, our political institutions or in the everyday aspects of life? Is Australian greatness the sum of all these factors or a quality that transcends them? Fifty-one outstanding Australians present a range of subjects that are characteristic of who we are and weigh their merits - and the very notion of greatness itself. Australian Greats is a spirited colloquy on identity and nationhood for those of us who call Australia home. (Publisher's blurb)
