Synopsis: Archaeology - the study of antiquity from whatever evidence can be found - gained a double aura of science and romance. As men began to probe and question their past, often hoping to find clues to the future, they increasingly came to realize that a wealth of civilisations had preceded them. The probings of science began to replace the myths with reason. And yet many of the discoveries made by science proved to be so extraordinary and so enigmatic that even now many new finds are posing more questions than answers.

If the age of the earth from its origin to the present time is imagined as equivalent to a single day, then man appreared less than a minute from midnight at the day's end.

Synopsis: 'Heart of Country Australia' opens up a world that is as familiar as the sight of red earth under blue sky, or lush green grass around a waterhole - a world that the inhabitants of the Big Country feel they share, but in which not everyone knows how to live. These two fascinating books lead us to rich discoveries about the people of the outback and the bush, as four mesmerising storytellers share their experiences of what it is really like to go droving, to carve a farm out of the wilderness, to keep a family together through flood, drought and heartbreak - and to know the true beauty of the awe-inspiring country.
