| Summary |
The Big Shift is a lucid and vibrant exploration of the Australian continent and its people. Author Bernard Salt brings to life the shifts and shuffles that are impacting on the way in which Australians are settling their continent. The Big Shift tracks demographic and cultural change in Australia. Where do most Australians live? What are the top ten growth municipalities? Why will baby boomers never grow old? The report is pacey, and sometimes edgy, as it interprets new directions in the shaping of this nation and its people. It is also funny: Bernard Salt has an eye for quirky detail, guaranteed to entertain and amuse |
