Description

Modern Dundee: Life in the City Since World War TwoSince World War Two, Dundee's economy has diversified after its long dependence on the jute industry, and its cultural and social life have developed in directions that would have been hard to predict in the 1940s. This vivid, informative and illustrated account of the last eight decades has been well reviewed; both a critical success and a local bestseller since its first hardback publication in 2002 and reprinted in paperback in 2006 and in 2012.

Since World War Two, Dundee's economy has diversified after its long dependence on the jute industry, and its cultural and social life have developed in directions that would have been hard to predict in the 1940s. This vivid, informative and illustrated account of the last eight decades has been well-reviewed; both a critical success and a local bestseller since it’s first hardback  publication in 2002 and reprinted in paperback in 2006 and in 2012. Now in its fourth, fully-updated and extended 2019 edition, this continues to be a popular title particularly during Christmas time as a stocking-filler.

 As well as a popular social history, with concise accounts of industrial and political changes, crimes, sporting triumphs, developments in music, fashion and the arts, it contains many anecdotes and insightful commentaries on the people, places and events that have shaped this great city. Before World War Two the city was in decline and only in the 1970s, with the advent of new technologies, did Dundee's regeneration begin. And that rejuvenation, although occasionally faltering in the 1990s and the early years of the 21st century, has diversified so that Dundee is now the city of biomedical excellence, award-winning innovations in creative industries and computer games and also home to the V&A Museum, the only one outside London.

Against this background of profound change, the author gives a remarkable account of the rich daily life of Dundee. He recalls important events and individuals and offers keen insights into the processes of development and recovery.

Modern Dundee will be evocative reading for anyone who knows the city and has lived there during the post-war years, and it will also serve as a valuable introduction and to its recent history.

Great for adults who need full liquid diets!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don't really write very many reviews, but I am an adult with gastroparesis and these pouches are amazing!! I've been dealing with GP for over 15 years and I wish I'd known about these sooner. When I am in a bad flare, sometimes all I can keep down is liquids and baby food. These are so gentle on my stomach, and leave me feeling truly nourished, unlike so many of the mainstream baby foods that are clearly low quality meat or very sugar laden. I try to make my own soups and liquids from a Paleo mindset, but sometimes when you're really sick, you don't have the energy to even put something in the blender. These are amazing for those times and will be a staple in my arsenal from now on.

My daughter goes crazy for these!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I was really nervous about introducing meat to my daughter, but Serenity Kids pouches made it really easy! She loves the turkey bolognese one, and I love that it's pasture-raised with organic ingredients! My 8 & 6 year old gave them a try and said they were super yummy! Highly recommend!!

Not just for kids. A great snack for long drives.
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our daughter buys these for her toddler (1-1/2 years old). I do a lot of long distance driving and thought that these would be a convenient way to have a snack or even a small meal. I have just spent six days behind the wheel on a road trip and they worked out great! A good mixture of protein (beef, turkey, chicken) and veggies, especially the combinations. They are easy and safe to use while driving, have good flavor, are more filling than I thought they would be, and are certainly healthier than the snacks that are usually available on the road.

One Satisfied Mom and Baby
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Early on when on the hunt for baby food, this was one of the few brands where not only can I pronounce all of its organic ingredients, but the proteins were all pasture raised, wild caught and grass fed. So the true test was the taste test, SHE LOVED IT! Ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes. I use these when I’m out or on the run and I love it because I know she’s getting adequate nutrition with the best ingredients.

Hear Me Out!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Okay, all moms, you've got to hear me out on this one! The first time my kiddo tried this he hated the flavor! I mentioned it in my IG stories and the company themselves sent me tips and tricks on how to serve these meats. The problem was, my baby had never had baby meat before, just fruits and veggies. Please understand that the thickness is a little thicker, but still creamy enough for even new eaters. We tried different recipes and ideas and now my son love them and gets his proteins. I am SUPER impressed with this company and their willingness to help and offer advice and ideas. Their products are HIGH quality and made of only the best ingredients which makes this mama very happy!
