Full Description
The most comprehensive support available for success in Analysing VCE History. From Custodianship to the Anthropocene: 60,000 BCE to 2010 explores the ways humans have shaped, and been influenced by, the Australian landscape over thousands of years. It investigates how peoples with very different ideas of the world clashed over the use of land and resources, and how differences over the use of the environment have become a key theme of Australian society into the modern era.
