Edited by Terri-ann WhiteWhere do you find a citys 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 architects perspective on heritage to a historians ruminations on Perths swampy origins; from a walk down streets that dont 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.
