As Scotland’s fourth largest city, Dundee has long been known for
its ‘Three Js’ of jute, jam and journalism. Now a thriving
university city, Dundee is a UNESCO City of Design, and a
shortlisted UK City of Culture. Year round, Dundee is alive with
festivals, events and art, not to mention a rich history, including
five castles and Antarctic research ship RRS Discovery to its name.
In this first ever comprehensive guide to the city, Dundee
historian Norman Watson explores key streets and buildings, mapping
changes over the years and into Dundee’s bright future. Using his
award winning story-telling style, the people behind Dundee’s
trades and customs are shown as the city developed from a centre of
manufacturing into the vibrant cultural hub we see today. Featuring
full colour photographs and maps, this is the perfect guide for
both locals and visitors keen to explore Dundee.
Dundonians have a defining, distinctive way of expressing
themselves and communicating feelings. The ancient city’s
characteristic accent can be heard in any Lochee bar or Hilltoon
playground, or on any bus – where Dundee grannies have
extraordinary ‘Eh?’ ‘Eh!’ nodding conversations. And to the
trained ear they make perfect sense!
Collection of British musicals from the 1930s. In 'Facing the
Music' (1933), directed by Harry Hughes, Stanley Lupino stars as
Jack who has fallen head over heels in love with Nina (Nancy
Burne). In his pursuit of her, Jack discovers that she is the niece
of an opera singer looking to bolster her fame. When Jack proposes
a fake jewel robbery to Nina during one of her aunt's shows she
agrees, but when the jewels really do go missing Jack must recover
them before the end of the performance. Thomas Bentley directs
'Sleepless Nights' (1932) in which Lupino stars as Guy Raynor, a
reporter in Nice who pretends to be the wealthy husband of Marjorie
Drew (Polly Walker) to stop her from running away with a crook.
Paul Merzbach directs 'A Star Fell from Heaven' (1936) in which a
musical film star suddenly loses his voice. An aspiring singer dubs
over his performances and becomes unexpectedly famous in the
process. In 'The Student's Romance' (1935), directed by Otto
Kanturek, young student Max (Patric Knowles) and Princess Helene
(Grete Natzler) fall in love, but must overcome the barrier of her
royal status if they are to be together.
The book centers on practical religion in everyday life. It
challenges it's readers to exercse their faith. The concept of a
faith that works is not evident to many, and many seems to be
satisfied with their outward religion rather then a working faith.
There is a faith that works by love Gal 6:15. It is the faith that
comes from within that transforms. The reader should have a broader
understanding of how faith is meaningful in all areas of the
Christian life, as he walks daily by faith.
