Description

You can read the past in this city, if you know where to look.' An accessible and entertaining palm-sized mini-history with 50-plus black & white images, from the State Library of Victoria's pictures collection and contemporary photographers.From the publisher that brought you the bite-sized biography of eccentric Melbournian E. W. Cole comes a microcosmic history of Melbourne itself. In Making Modern Melbourne, Jenny Lee charts the city's story from illegal village to modern metropolis, sampling the marvellous and not-so-marvellous moments and reintroducing some of the unconventional characters who've shaped the Queen city of the South'.Jenny Lee loves Melbourne. Her book comes as a small revelation, showing us the city growing up before our eyes.' - Robyn Annear
