A History of the World in 25 Cities (The British Museum)<\/em>
\nby Tracey Turner (Author), Andrew Donkin (Author), Libby VanderPloeg (Illustrator)
\n@ Amazon<\/a>* | Bookshop<\/a>*<\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Visit cities from every inhabited continent on Earth, from the walled city of Jericho built over 10,000 years ago, to the modern-day metropolis of Tokyo, the most-densely populated city in the world today. Each carefully researched map takes readers on a city tour at a unique moment in time–from exploring Athens in ancient Greece during the birth of democracy, to walking the beautiful lamplit streets of medieval Benin, deep in the West African rainforest. Cities featured include Jericho, Memphis, Athens, Xianyang, Rome, Constantinople, Baghdad, J\u00f3rv\u00edk, Benin City, Tenochtitl\u00e1n, Granada, Beijing, Venice, Delhi, Cuzco, Amsterdam, Sydney, Paris, London, Bangkok, Saint Petersburg, New York City, Berlin, San Francisco, and Tokyo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nBENIN CITY<\/strong>
\n1500s<\/strong>
\nIn the middle of the West African rain forest, huge walls and deep moats surrounded a city that gleamed with brass. Benin City was the heart of a rich and powerful empire that stretched for hundreds of miles.<\/p>\n
