This stunningly illustrated large-format hardback features 25 extraordinary city maps that narrate the story of human civilization from ancient times to the present. Co-authored by award-winning children's authors in collaboration with British Museum curators, the book allows readers to explore cities from every continent, including the ancient walled city of Jericho and modern-day Tokyo, the world's most densely populated city. Each map, adorned with vibrant artwork by Libby VanderPloeg, transports readers to a specific moment in time, such as ancient Athens during the birth of democracy or the lamplit streets of medieval Benin in West Africa. Notably, it includes a meticulously recreated map of China's long-lost capital, Xianyang, developed with expert support from the British Museum. Following each map are two beautifully illustrated pages filled with fascinating insights into life in each city, including a concise overview of key statistics. This treasure trove of facts invites curious readers to delve into history repeatedly, making it an ideal gift for children eager to explore global history. Featured cities include Jericho, Memphis, Athens, Xianyang, Rome, Constantinople, Baghdad, and many more, along with an exploration of Cities of Today and Cities of Tomorrow.
