Laid out, too, in the long thin lines he loved to trace, on paper/ canvas, in clay, in the landscape. Curling across the page in those transitional curves that were in fact his strongest formal signature; and the thing that sent the radius of his work out, in the end, to some kind of infinity." - David Craig. …

Australian ed. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, tables, appendices, bottom corner tip rear cover creased, edges lightly foxed, minor edgewear, old price marks. 190 pp. This study by Tim Beal and Farib Sos reveals that Taiwanese migrants come to Australia and New Zealand more commonly for a better lifestyle rather than for business reasons.
