Mini Story or Hook:
Charles F. Laseron, known for his work with the Australian Museum and Antarctic expeditions, brings Australia's ancient and dramatic landforms to life in The Face of Australia. With maps and illustrations by the author, this beautifully written volume explores the shaping of the continent—from its rugged coastlines to its red heart. A standout piece of mid-century Australiana, this book captures the wonder and science of a changing landscape through a deeply personal lens.

This is a vintage hardcover book with some notable wear but still highly collectible:

• Dust jacket is present and housed in removable protective cover but has multiple small tears and tape repairs (mainly to the spine and back flap).

• Pages are clean and well-bound with mild age-related toning.

• No inscriptions or library markings.

• Includes striking black-and-white photographic plates and maps by the author.
  A charming and informative volume reflecting the rugged spirit of mid-century Australian publishing.
