James Boyce's reinterpretation of Van Diemen's Land's early history — arguing that the convicts who arrived in the colony were transformed by the natural world they encountered, actively adapting to their new environment rather than simply enduring it. Almost half of all convicts transported to Australia came to Van Diemen's Land.
