Birmingham by Malcolm Dick
With 20 fact filled chapters covering 10 centuries, "Birmingham: A History of the City and Its People" is the first large-format full-colour history of Birmingham. An easy to use layout and beautifully detailed pictures make the publication an ideal project book for children in Key Stages 2 and 3 but it will be equally enjoyable for adults looking for a clear, accessible, fact-filled read. This features include: time chart, population graphics, further research guide; fascinating anecdotes about history-making people; shows the connections between the past and modern-day Birmingham; the growth of the city from its market beginnings; the development of industry - guns, pens, jewellery, chocolate, cars; the contribution of women, thinkers and workers; the settlement of diverse peoples, national and international; and looking forward to Birmingham's future as the UK's second city.
Dr Malcolm Dick is a lecturer in the Centre for Lifelong Learning and School of Education at the University of Birmingham. Amongst his many publications, the most recent is Joseph Priestley and Birmingham (Brewin Books, 2005), which he edited.
