Excerpt from Handbook of South AustraliaSome idea of the vastness of the Australian Continent may be gathered from the above map, which shows that Australia could swallow up nearly the whole of Europe. Drawn to scale, without alteration of their positions, with the exception of Sweden, Norway, and Russia, there is a balance (the black portion) which would provide for Sweden and Norway, and for more than two-thirds of Russia.

Lebanon¿s multi-ethnic characte...

But for others its structure was so seriously flawed as to be resolved only by revolution. The civil war resulted ultimately from a conglomeration of interdependent factors ¿ the religious conflict of Christian ...
