More than a dozen writers have contributed to this journey into the past, present, and future of the city of Dundee, seeking to capture the pioneering spirit of its inhabitants. In every sphere, including science, medicine, industry, art, commerce, sport, music, politics, and social reform, Dundee has played a role. Among the figures uncovered in the work are Preston Watson, the Scottish aviation pioneer; Thomas Maclagan, the Dundee doctor who discovered aspirin; James Chalmers, the inventor of the adhesive postage stamp; and James Bowman Lindsay, the pioneer of electric light.
