		City: A Story of Roman Planning and Construction

Superb design, magnificent illustrations, and clearly presented information distinguish all of David Macaulay's books. Whether chronicling the monumental achievements of past civilizations or satirizing modern architecture, he is concerned above all in how constructions are made and what their effects are on people and their lives.

确实是很棒的建筑类的书，画的非常好。
但是文字内容较多，适合对这方面有兴趣的年龄大一些的孩子阅读。

我很喜欢，对于城市的设计介绍很详尽。

不需要每本丛书都买，画的太一般。

Macaulay famously published books aimed at scholastic youth, which follow an architectural narrative, and City stays just in step. The book deals with the construction of an Ancient Roman city, and introduces the reader to expansionist Roman culture.

Relying heavily on visuals, the book provides children plenty to enjoy with an easy-to-follow pace. Children are certainly not the only ones who can enjoy these books though, and I purchased this one in particular for artistic and historical reference - better as just a handbook for this, since these books are detailed but not expansive past their subject matter. It might be a little humbling, but we adults can pick these up and find a comforting welcome into a new subject.

I recommend for: parents who want their child to learn a little more outside of school, artists, writers, and architecture enthusiasts. It's not very complex but it is thorough.

Great Historical book. To humble those high and mighty city planers. I love the illustrations and diagrams inside the book. It makes a nice clear diagram and reference for how these ancient people use to build marvels and great structures without no need of aliens or magic lol.

I am glad Romans left us diagrams, descriptions of how they did things or we have conspiracy nuts telling us Romans were using aliens or magic too just like Egyptians. So here is a way to educate your kid or yourself out of fantasist notions read this book.

I love books by David Macaulay and I am student of ancient Rome. The details of the planning and construction of a city of the Roman Empire are amazing. The foresight of the city planners is proved when the city ultimately grows to 50,000 inhabitants and the city services still function smoothly. Construction methods are shown with detailed drawings. All in all, this book is a fascinating study of city planning two thousand years ago. Highly recommended.

Wow! What a cool book! I bought this for my kids who will be taking Latin next year. It has a great layout with good information about how things were built in the Roman days. I enjoyed reading it myself as well!

I brought this on a trip to Italy with my grandson. In retrospect, I should have bought it for his device ahead of time. It is clear and informative, and somewhat to my surprise, the illustrations work on an iPad.
