This book covers the history of the entire city from the first Mesolithic explorers who camped on the shores of the Forth some 10,000 years ago to the controversies of modern times. Taking a wider perspective it explores the ever-changing world resulting from industrialization which brought immigrants, wealth and poverty. Following that, new methods of transport opened up Edinburgh to the wider world. Now, with its historic architecture Edinburgh can become a battleground between developers and motorists who want more space in the central areas and conservationists who wish to protect the city's landscape.
