Description

Modern Dundee: Life in the City Since World War TwoSince World War Two, Dundee's economy has diversified after its long dependence on the jute industry, and its cultural and social life have developed in directions that would have been hard to predict in the 1940s. This vivid, informative and illustrated account of the last eight decades has been well reviewed; both a critical success and a local bestseller since its first hardback publication in 2002 and reprinted in paperback in 2006 and in 2012.

Since World War Two, Dundee's economy has diversified after its long dependence on the jute industry, and its cultural and social life have developed in directions that would have been hard to predict in the 1940s. This vivid, informative and illustrated account of the last eight decades has been well-reviewed; both a critical success and a local bestseller since it’s first hardback  publication in 2002 and reprinted in paperback in 2006 and in 2012. Now in its fourth, fully-updated and extended 2019 edition, this continues to be a popular title particularly during Christmas time as a stocking-filler.

 As well as a popular social history, with concise accounts of industrial and political changes, crimes, sporting triumphs, developments in music, fashion and the arts, it contains many anecdotes and insightful commentaries on the people, places and events that have shaped this great city. Before World War Two the city was in decline and only in the 1970s, with the advent of new technologies, did Dundee's regeneration begin. And that rejuvenation, although occasionally faltering in the 1990s and the early years of the 21st century, has diversified so that Dundee is now the city of biomedical excellence, award-winning innovations in creative industries and computer games and also home to the V&A Museum, the only one outside London.

Against this background of profound change, the author gives a remarkable account of the rich daily life of Dundee. He recalls important events and individuals and offers keen insights into the processes of development and recovery.

Modern Dundee will be evocative reading for anyone who knows the city and has lived there during the post-war years, and it will also serve as a valuable introduction and to its recent history.

Crazy how much our dog loved this
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
It is crazy how much our baby loved this thing. Has held up decently except she chewed off the handle like a goober. Fun to play tug of war with. Soft and safe for teeth. She loves carrying it from room to room, nice and light.

Pattern Name: Tug Rag
This is the best toy for puppy teeth. If you want to play with your pup you can hold with your hands & it protects your fingers. Our pup does prefer this toy to others & I think it is because the leather is thick.

SOOO DURABLE!!!
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
VERY VERY VERY durable!!!!! I have a Malinois and a Cane Corso who are both very high energy and high intensity. They have shredded every single toy, bite rag, and rope ive purchased butu this one has stood strong for a year so far. i would 100% buy again. could also just be thrown in the washer if it gets dirty which is a HUGE plus for super droolers.
