Perth : a guide for the curious

DESCRIPTION

AuthorWhite, Terri-ann, editorDescriptionWhere do you find a city's soul? Where is its pulse, its personality? When we walk across the skin of a city, do we listen for its laugh? Terri-ann White draws together an eclectic group of Perth people in this collection to share their insights on a rapidly evolving city. From an architect's perspective on heritage to a historian's ruminations on Perth's swampy origins; from a walk down streets that don't exist to Noongar place names; from the union movement to public art to criminal Perth to conversational Perth, this book encourages new encounters with the city. Perth: a guide for the curious traverses social, cultural, and political spaces as the reader traverses the streets, kindling a sense of curiosity about a city by unearthing buried treasure.ImprintCrawley, W.A. : UWA Publishing, 2016.; Â©2016Collationv, 329 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps, portraits ; 24 cm.LanguageEnglishDate Published2016ISBN9.78174E+12Dewey Class994.11 PERPublication FormatBook
