An original perspective on history from the perspective of great cities across time. This book is a great way to learn about civilization and the ingenuity of the people who created it.
This is an exhaustive collection of everything you ever wanted to know about the history of cities from ancient times through the beginning of the 21st-century. Lots of good info here and a good reference book for the shelf.
An assigned book for Architecture School, I read about half of it in bits and pieces.
