A City and Its Setting: Images of Perth, Western Australia [Paperback]

Presenting the history of Perth, Australia, this reference details the architectural, technological, and societal developments that have contributed to this city's rich past. With a close examination of the site and its subsequent changes--from a group of tents in the bush and a small colonial village, to a postwar boom of the 1950s through the early 21st century--this work encapsulates the dynamic spirit of the capital of Western Australia. With a blend of artifacts and historic images--including paintings, photographs, maps, diaries, and newspaper clippings--this study also provides a wider study of cities and the nature of urban development.
