AN EXCELLENT WINDOW ONTO LIFE IN ANCIENT CITIES

I read this book as part of a seminar in urban anthropology. I came away from the experience satisfied with the book's effective organization and lovely photographic material. The author, a noted Mayan archaeologist, covers vast amounts of archaeological and historical data on the development of early cities in a surprisingly succint and clear narrative. "First Cities" is a must read for the layperson with interest in ancient history as well as for budding scholars of urban archaeology.
