商品簡介
Historic and contemporary photographs help tell the story of how charitable organizations, and increasingly the state, dealt with the social problems that resulted from the rapid growth of the port city on England's west coast during the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the topics are charity and Liverpool's wealthy elite, the nearby city of Kirkdale and its educational and health facilities, law and religion, helping the disadvantaged and vulnerable, and institutes at Mosslake Fields on a hill overlooking the city. A final chapter looks at 21st-century conservation related to charity. There is no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company.
