East Dragon and West Dragon live on opposite sides of the world. They have never met--and they like it that way. But when some meddlesome knights start a riff between their two kingdoms, East Dragon and West Dragon are finally forced to come face-to-fire-breathing-face. Full color.

In Australia, regions are not just a geographic category, they are also cultural. Being regional means being located outside the nation¿s capital cities and in the periphery of centres of power and influence. It is thus significantly different than its European or American counterparts. However, surprisingly little has been written about this unique dynamic; this book has been written to fill this gap.

In Australia, regions are not just geographic locations, they are also cultural ideas. Being regional means being located outside the nation''s capital cities and in the periphery of its centres of power and influence. Regional development in Australia is thus significantly different than its European or American counterparts. However, surprisingly little has been written about the unique dynamics of development in Australia''s regions; this book has been written to fill this gap. In recent decades the Australian government has made repeated policy efforts to achieve sustainable development in its non-metropolitan areas. Over the same period, those who live and work outside the nation''s capital cities have come to identify as regional Australians. This book takes an anthropological approach to understanding the particularities of regional development in Australia. It draws upon rich, on-the-ground observations of towns, industries, universities, development organisations, and communities across different settings to provide an in-depth understanding of the subject. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners concerned with regional development and policy.
