Aberdeen Lives ; volume 1
Notes:
This work aims to offer a collective portrait of the shape and texture of daily life in the city of Aberdeen, as experienced by folk who have spent formative years there. The personal recollections which appear in this book are extracted from the recorded words of some 500 people the author has interviewed over the last 16 years. This present work focuses on both the working and the recreational and sporting life of Aberdeen during the twentieth century. In that respect it acts as a complement volume to the authors's earlier pair of Grampian Lives books in that, while they concentrated on the region's rural and coastal experiences, Aberdeen Lives: Work and Play is devoted to the city itself.
