"In this book Leslie Marchant shows that the apparently enigmatic behaviour of the Chinese communists under Mao has in fact been substantially consistent with Mao's ideologically inspired strategy for the achievement of the 'dictatorship of the proletariat' in China and the world. Professor Marchant argues that Maoists are not 'reactionaries' who respond essentially to particular conditions, such as poverty within China, or particular actions, such as imperialist pressure from without, but proselytes whose domestic and foreign policies are always predicated upon their ultimate purpose of changing the nature of man himself as the revolution follows its pre-destined course." (Publisher's description).

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine condition. French Napoleonic Placenames of the South West Coast South West Coast (Alternative title) After the French Revolution, there was renewed interest in science and exploration. In October 1800, Nicolas Baudin commanded an expedition to the south seas to complete the French survey of the Australian coastline, and make scientific observations. When the expedition returned to France, French cartographers produced new charts with geographical names which extended from Esperance in the South to Joseph Bonaparte Gulf in the north. This book focuses on the south west corner of Western Australia where Napoleonic France made a lasting impression.

Groundbreaking! France was a leading centre of the Enlightenment which exalted empirically gathered knowledge of nature in all its manifestations and the use of reason to better understand and improve the universe. As the hallmarks of civilised society, these ideals shaped exploration, replacing at least in part both commercial and political motivations. The publication by the Philosophe Charles de Brosses of a two-volume book, Histoire des navigations aux Terres Australes, in 1756 - summarising all thus far discovered about the southern seas, including the explorations by Abel Tasman and William Dampier - fuelled scienti c and expansionist endeavour and was probably decisive in Louis XV's decision to support an exploratory expedition.1 Rivalry between England and France cannot be dismissed as a contributing motivation, spurred on by news of Captain James Cook's 'discovery' of the east coast of Australia in 1770. Beginning with Louis XV, French rulers pursued a policy of exploration of 'Terre Australe' that focused as much on scienti c study of the land and its inhabitants as on charting its coastline. Louis XVI (1754-1793), who ascended to the throne at his grandfather's death in 1775, was a keen geographer, an avid reader of the accounts of Captain Cook's voyages and a determined rival of Britain's maritime supremacy. In 1785, he commissioned Jean-François de Galaup, Comte de La Pérouse (1741-1788), to circumnavigate the Paci c - an undertaking for which public enthusiasm ran high. While Australia had always been intended as the nal stop of La Pérouse's itinerary, Louis XVI was made anxious by news of the departure from England of Arthur Phillip with the rst prisoners destined to colonise Botany Bay. La Pérouse was then asked by dispatch to proceed there in all haste. He sailed into Botany Bay on 26 January 1788, only days after Phillip and the First Fleet had arrived there to establish the first European colony in Australia. Ref HH 2.
