Lying just south of the Fens in East Anglia it has been an important town in the region since the Middle Ages and today it is a rapidly growing centre for the most advanced high-tech industries.\n\nAZ of Cambridge is a readable yet factual alternative history of the city, revealing the stories behind Cambridges streets, buildings and people. It brings to life the centuries-old rivalry between town and gown, and tells the tale of how the citys residents and its university population have shaped the Cambridge of the twenty-first century. All aspects of Cambridges history are included, from books, with one of Britains oldest chained libraries at Trin.
