Congratulations to Tanja Luckins and co-authors for the publication of The Story of Australia: A new history of people and place (Routledge, 2022). The Story of Australia is a fresh history of Australia, drawing on the authors’ researches and integrating a rich body of scholarship from many disciplines. Elegantly written, readers will enjoy Australia’s story from its origins to the present as the nation seeks to resolve tensions between Indigenous dispossession, British tradition and multicultural diversity while finding its place in an Asian region and dealing with global challenges like climate change.
