A Global History
by Joel Kotkin
The Modern Library, 2005
Comments: The history of human cultural development can be linked directly to the evolution of several important major cities, each of which was at the center of human endeavor in its time. This book charts the rise, and sometimes fall of these cities, along with the forces that shaped them and the impact they had on cities that followed. A very good view of how our modern cities have evolved and are inextricably linked to our cultural identity.
