圖書簡介

　　《澳大利亞社會與文化》是中國高等院校非英語專業(yè)大學(xué)生在完成國家教委規(guī)定的大學(xué)英語四級學(xué)習(xí)后的英語拓展課程教材。它比較全面地從澳大利亞土著人歷史、澳大利亞國家的建立、該國的地理、政治、經(jīng)濟、文化、文學(xué)、傳媒、電影工業(yè)以及體育等領(lǐng)域來介紹這個由多元文化建構(gòu)起來的國家。澳大利亞位于亞洲一太平洋地區(qū)，它的地理位置決定了它在未來世界政治、經(jīng)濟和外交等方面的重要作用。因此，認(rèn)識澳大利亞這樣一個國家，是構(gòu)建21世紀(jì)青年學(xué)生跨學(xué)科知識框架中不可缺少的一部分。深層次地了解澳大利亞的文化、政治和經(jīng)濟，可以幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和分享澳大利亞的多元文化成果，為日后從事跨學(xué)科研究積累知識和經(jīng)驗。
