Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2012 Allen & Unwin large format hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Tasmania's first European settlers were a diverse and eclectic lot - men and women from all walks of life who ended up cast together in a far-flung colony at the end of the world, where adversity was commonplace but opportunity abounded. From former convicts to the highly privileged, they forged their own ways in Van Diemen's land&;as farmers, traders, publicans, whalers, businessmen, politicians, and more. As they, along with the colony, prospered, they built places of residence and business that stand today as a testament to the quality of Tasmania's early craftsmanship, the wealth of some of its first European residents, and their desire to recreate a piece of home in their new surrounds, no matter how hostile the environment. Tasmania is blessed that so many of these buildings are intact today. Some have been in the same families since the 1820s, others have been saved from ruin or converted into homes after previous lives as anything from hop kilns to coach houses and public schools. All have fascinating stories to tell that reflect the diversity of those early settlers, the adversities they faced, and the opportunities they harnessed, as well as of the characters that inhabit them today. Living in History tells some of these stories through sumptuous photos of Tasmania's most historically and architecturally significant buildings, complemented by text that transports the reader back in time and takes them through to the present, where the current generation of homeowners is literally living in history.

Weight 1.43kg. Minor handling wear only. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Bright dust jacket shows a short tear to the lower spine, a touch of light edgewear. -- A photographic and narrative exploration of twenty of Tasmania's most architecturally and socially significant buildings. It chronicles the journey of these properties from their construction by early European settlers to their status today as cherished private residences. The book serves as a social history, moving beyond architectural description to tell the human stories of those who built, maintained, and currently inhabit these structures. Historic Legacy: It profiles buildings constructed by a diverse range of early Tasmanians - from former convicts to the highly privileged - who sought to recreate English-style residences in a new colony. A key focus is on how modern owners live within these historic spaces today. Some properties have remained within the same families since the 1820s, while others have been repurposed from former hop kilns or schools. Visual Documentation: The text is accompanied by sumptuous photography by Alice Bennett, capturing the interiors, exteriors, and gardens of the homes. Featured Properties: The book includes detailed entries for twenty specific Tasmanian landmarks, such as: - Government House [profiled for its stunning architectural and historical significance]; - Wybra Hall [features descriptions of its early history and its condition when purchased from the government]; - Shene, Ratho, and Cullenswood [part of the list of properties that reflect the state's early craftsmanship and social customs]. Other featured homes include StrathAyr, Ashby, Bowood, and Ormiston House. -- "A beautiful journey in colour to some of the most spectacular and historic houses in Tasmania, filled with surprising stories of the people who inhabit them.
