Publisher 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. |
