关于此电子书
Along with its people Nowra surveys the city’s landscape, its architecture, and its global identity. And as Sydney’s history unfolds throughout the twentieth century and beyond, Nowra revels in its neon lights, music, skyscrapers, sense of optimism and the many disparate elements that shape Sydneysiders’ view of themselves.
‘Nowra captures the everchanging spirit of what is arguably – to most, inarguably to Nowra – Australia’s pre-eminent city.’ – Books+Publishing
