Politics Patronage and Public Works by Australian historian Hilary Golder dissects how infrastructure shaped—and was shaped by—colonial and state politics from the 19th century to today. This 2005 UNSW Press hardcover blends engineering milestones with vivid biographical snapshots, making it a go-to reference for buffs of Australian history, public policy, and civil engineering alike.

The 268-page illustrated volume arrives clean and tight: light cover scuffing and minor edge dents are the only traces of its previous life on a smoke-free shelf. Pages are unmarked, free of dog-ears, and the binding is solid, so the book feels fresh for reading or display.

Collectors seeking Australiana, economics students tracing government spending, or engineers curious about historic public works will find Golder’s analysis both authoritative and engaging. A scarce hardcover edition, it slips neatly into any serious Australia-focused history or political science library.
