Description: Returning to Nothing by Peter Read Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book charts the relationship between Australians and places of significance. Read examines peoples attachment to houses, workplaces, communities and countries through interviews with numerous individuals who have lost these places or found them transformed. This is a bold and moving work of scholarship. Publisher Description This book examines what it means to lose a place forever and why we return, and keep on returning, to these places so large in our memories. It considers many lost towns, suburbs and homes: Darwin after Cyclone Tracy, the flooding of the town of Adaminaby in NSW, the inundation of Lake Pedder in Tasmania, bushfire at Macedon in Victoria, migration from other countries, the clearing of neighborhoods for freeways and the everyday circumstances that force people from their land. It establishes how important the places we live in are, and how much we grieve when we lose them. Author Biography Peter Read is Professor of French at the University of Kent, Canterbury, England. He is the translator of Apollinaires "The Cubist Painters" (UC Press) and the author of "Picasso et Apollinaire: Les metamorphoses de la memoire, " which he has extensively revised for this English-language edtion.
