Produktbeschreibung
The Encyclopedia of Melbourne reflects and encompasses the citys historical position as one of the worlds pre-eminent nineteenth century metropolises, and as one of the twenty-first centurys most liveable cities. Alphabetical entries range from short factual summaries about places, institutions and events, through to extended survey articles on key topics such as Architecture, Aboriginal Melbourne, Economy, Foundation and Early Settlement, Law and Order, Literature, Science, Sport, Suburbia, Theatre and Transport. Although Australia has long ranked amongst the worlds most urbanised countries, no comparable reference work exists on any Australian metropolis.
