Authored by scholars for a general readership, the book offers a detailed, accessible, and richly illustrated account of this culturally rich and high-achieving city. From its diverse people's history to its prehistoric and Roman past, medieval and early modern rise, innovative education system, varied art and design experience, and extraordinary printing history, Birmingham's story is presented in new ways. The book also explores economic and political themes and new approaches to the history of society and culture.
