Review:
The art, music, food, festivals, fashion, ornament and architecture of indigenous Australians are covered in this fascinating book. The impact on world cultures is shown too. As ever, there are lots of stunning photographs, and the book is well presented with a useful timeline, glosssary and find out more section which includes extensive resources. As with all the Raintree books for KS3, the author has worked in conjunction with a consultant, thus combining readability with authority. Chinese Culture (Global Cultures) and Islamic Culture (Global Cultures)are other titles in the series. --Parents in Touch website Dec 12
The delightfully illustrated book looks at one of the worlds' most fascinating subjects -indigenous cultures - examining in detail their beliefs, customs and traditions. Having travelled all over the world I have a particular love of Australia having visited there several times. The aboriginal culture is an essential part of this country's history and the link between the indigenous population and the European settlers who arrived in the last few centuries is vital for a proper understanding of the development of this region. The information in the book is presented in small units which can easily be absorbed and used for further study. The photographs are excellent and this voloume will prove very useful to upper primary and lower secondary students. One of the strengths of this series is that they have used indigenous consultants who have an extensive knowledge of their subject. Mary Colson, the author, obviously knows her subject and together with the consultant Lawry Bamblett has carried out some excellent research. This is part of a sensitively produced series which I can thoroughly recommend to school libraries and for class use. --School Library Association Review Winter 2012
