But behind that success was a harsh working environment and low wages, especially for the predominantly female workforce. There was appalling social distress, resulting in part from abysmal living conditions.\u003cbr\u003e As the twentieth century dawned, a new Dundee was in the making. 'Juteopolis' no more; in the later twentieth century Dundee had pro claimed itself Scotland's 'City of Discovery'. Biosciences and computer games are what many people now associate with Dundee - although journalism is still flourishing. In what has become a university city, students abound where mill workers formerly promenaded.\u003cbr\u003e This book traces the process of industrial decline and its social and political reverberations. But it is also a remarkable story of urban transformation, and how this impacted on jobs, the physical environment, social life, culture and politics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJute No More\u003c\/i\u003e is richly illustrated with over 60 images, most of them published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642879942929,"sku":"GOR004305370","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184586090X.jpg?v=1762422584","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/jute-no-more-book-jim-tomlinson-9781845860905","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
