| Publisher Description: Jean Martin was a pioneer of sociology, inventing a version of the discipline that was uniquely suited to Australia in the post-war period. Jean Isobel Martin (1923 79) made herself a sociologist before the discipline was established in Australia. Regarded as a founder of Australian sociology, her writing, teaching and policy helped shape Australia in the period of economic growth and social development that followed World War II. "The Martin Presence" is a biography that examines her life and her work across the concerns of the time and explores her far-reaching influence on the social sciences in Australia." |
