For thousands of years, humans and their animal neighbors have congregated in cities. This comprehensive book traces the evolution of cities from Ancient Greece to modern Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, and more. Timelines, sidebars, and diagrams depict this transformation in fascinating detail, while gorgeous, color photographs show the highs and lows of city life. A question and answer section at the end of the book will engage reluctant readers, while curious students will be happy to find a list of curated links, guiding them in further exploration of this diverse, and ever-changing habitat.
