A North African City Through the Ages,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Umm El Madayan: An Islamic City Through the Ages (Hardcover)
"Umm Al Madayan" follows the history of a North African city from prehistoric to modern times. From a 10,000 foot view point, readers see the city change and evolve. It is almost thrilling to see how a city develops as different civilization rise and fall. This books reminds us that cities are organic and grow and shrink depending on political fortunes. Although the writing is solid, it is the beautifully detailed archetectural rendering of Francesco Corni that really make this book. Corni is a gifted illustrator with a great eye for detail. Be sure to check out "Barmi", "San Rafael" and "Lebeck" which are all part of this series. They can all be purchased for a very reasonable price and help give kids the long view of history. Highly recommended.
