I do not deny my past. I have been a great wanderer from what is right, but at least I know it and hope that the knowledge has not come too late. - Christopher Hibbert
From Thebes, Jerusalem, and Athens to New York, London, Sydney, Amsterdam, Moscow, and Berlin, Cities and Civilizations explores the world's great cities and their golden ages. Famed historian Christopher Hibbert vividly brings each city to life -- its moments of power and prestige, of cultural ferment and political dominance -- providing a panoramic sweep encompassing almost four thousand years.
