Highly rated and ranked among top children's books on ancient history and city life, it’s a must-have for anyone eager to connect with the evolution of urban culture. ## Description Follow the story of a city from an ancient colony to a vast modern metropolis through stunning full-color illustrations. A City Through Time will transport you back to another age, as the award-winning Steve Noon brings the past to life in style. Panoramic scenes presented in a unique cutaway style are packed with colorful pictures showing everyday life in the city across the centuries. Clear descriptions surround each beautiful and jam-packed illustration to make sure the details aren't lost as you meet the characters who live and work there. Plus, each scene has a page devoted to key features, so you can get up close to a Roman bath-house, a medieval castle, or a modern skyscraper. A photographic section profiles great cities throughout history and a glossary tells you what you need to know about architecture, technology, work, and costumes throughout the ages. Steve Noon's A City Through Time is perfect for parents and children to look at together or for school projects. The more you look, the more you'll see. Supports the Common Core State Standards. Review: A great entertaining book for all - My children greatly enjoy all the books in this series, and while Anne Millard does a great job with the facts it is the art of Steve Noon that really makes these books phenomenal. Easily understood information that is very interesting appears on each page, and with characters you can follow throughout the book you can spend a long time searching for them -- which allows you to really appreciate all the other historically accurate mini-scenes that play out all over. I will admit that I have been known to look through these books even when my children aren't around. This book, and all the others in this series, should be enjoyable for all children of all ages. Even those who aren't old enough to read will still love the pictures and learn something. Older children learn quite a bit, and keep coming back to the book because there is always something new to find. I highly recommend this book, and encourage any parent to add all of them to their collection! Review: Visually Superb - This is the type of book that you can literally spend hours studying the pictures and, without always realising it, absorbing interesting and useful information that could be as dry as dust if it wasn't presented so attractively. This is a fitting complement to 'A Street in Time'. A wonderful book. ## Features - DK Publishing Dorling Kindersley ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #522,608 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #338 in Children's Books on Ancient History #398 in Children's Books on City Life #12,375 in Children's Science, Nature & Technology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 176 Reviews | ## Images ![A City Through Time - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915LWWKSF-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great entertaining book for all *by J***S on 15 November 2006* My children greatly enjoy all the books in this series, and while Anne Millard does a great job with the facts it is the art of Steve Noon that really makes these books phenomenal.
