Sinopsis
Reader reveals how cities came to be, what made
them thrive, how they declined, and how they
remade themselves. He debunks long-held theories
and shows that the first cities actually
preceded and inspired the growth of farming, that
trees grow better in cities, and that even
though three thousand years separated Imperial
Rome from the Sumerian cities, evidence shows
that their everyday lives were similar and had
something in common with our lives today.
Investigating cities' parasitic relationship with
the countryside, the webs of trade, and how they
feed and water themselves and dispose of their
wastes, Reader proves a marvelous tour guide
through these defining artifacts of civilization.
