A City Across Time

About this book

Peter Kents brilliant cross-sections show how an early settlement changes into a bustling modern-day city. The lively warm and friendly illustrations are packed with absorbing and eye-opening details and clearly show how new buildings are constructed on the rubble of the old. Eagle-eyed readers will have hours of fun spotting the descendants of one particular family though the centuries and seeing how once-grand building become buried and how some structures remain through the centuries. Brand-new artworks and spreads reveal the prehistoric origins of the settlement its 21st-century development and even give a glimpse into the far future when ice sheets threaten to overwhelm the city
