    About this ebook

    3000 Years of Urban Growth compiles urban population data acquired from large cities at different points in time throughout the centuries. This book describes the sources and methods used in historical urban studies, including an evaluation of the total size estimates, area, institutional factors, and volume of local activity. Illustrations of maps that locate large cities from several time tables and regions of the world are also provided. This text likewise covers the data sheets for ancient cities from 1360 B.C. to 200 B.C. and 100 A.D. to 622 A.D. The data sheets from 800 to 1850 A.D. provide estimates for countries such as Italy, Afghanistan, France, Brazil, India, and Russia. Other topics include the world's largest cities from 430 B.C. to200 B.C., top six cities in each continent from 800 to 1850, and whereabouts of unfamiliar cities not shown on the maps. This publication is a good source for sociologists, historians, and researchers interested in population studies.

      Apr 5, 2023

      Tigers in the Park is a rather unusual publication in that its entire focus is based around the Adam Park Estate in Singapore. The estate was just south of the MacRitchie Reservoir, the scene of three days of ferocious fighting in the fall of Singapo

      It’s easy to forget how close Morocco is. Just a three-hour flight from the UK — or an hour’s ferry from the southern tip of Spain — lies a land of wide open deserts and mountains, with rugged beaches and seductive cities. Marrakech maintains its tim

      All cities have layers, but few can claim to be as stratified as Rome. Civilisations that have taken root here over millennia seem to jostle for prominence at every turn — medieval streets constructed above Etruscan sewers, Roman columns repurposed b
