The Great Cities in History is a generously illustrated, coffee table reference book, featuring essays by over fifty distinguished authors and edited by John Julius Norwich.

From the origins of urbanization in Mesopotamia to modern day global metropolises, cities represent the development of civilization through history perhaps better than anything else.

John Julius Norwich has compiled not only an informative and inviting work of history, but also a work on art and architecture, trade and commerce, economics and politics: a work above all about people and about the great cities they have inhabited throughout history.

Authors include Jan Morris, Colin Thubron, Orlando Figes, Adam Zamoyski, Simon Schama and A N Wilson.
