约翰·里德（John Reader）是一位作家和摄影记者，拥有伦敦大学学院（UCL）人类学系的荣誉研究学位，是皇家人类学研究院和皇家地理科学院的成员。作品包括《非洲：一个大陆的传记》（Africa: A Biography of the Continent）、《大地上的人及消失的线索：寻找最早的人类》（Man on Earth and Missing Links: The Hunt for Earliest Man）。
In Cities , the acclaimed historian John Reader takes us on a journey of the city—from its earliest example in the Ancient Near East to today’s teeming centers of compressed existence, such as Mumbai and Tokyo. Cities are home to half the planet’s population and consume nearly three-quarters of its natural resources. For Reader, they are our most natural artifacts, the civic spirit of our collective ingenuity. He gives us the ecological and functional context of how cities evolved throughout human history—the connection between pottery making and childbirth in ancient Anatolia, plumbing and politics in ancient Rome, and revolution and street planning in nineteenth-century Paris. This illuminating study helps us to understand how urban centers thrive, decline, and rise again—and prepares us for the role cities will play in the future.

评分罗马神话中，被狼养大的战神之子罗慕路斯与雷穆斯一夜建造了罗马城。后人反其意而用之：“罗马不是一天建成的。”城市设计的精巧繁复，必然是在几代人的智慧和汗水中不断完善的。 摄影记者出身的英国作家约翰·里德太了解过程的繁辛，讲起《城市的故事》不忘追根溯源解释每一...
评分开门见山，这是一本很好的书，写得很有质感，说得也很有逻辑。没有过多的故弄玄虚的词汇和描述，有的只是很平时的语言，和娓娓道来的历史视觉。像目前市面上众多的讲述生物起源、进化的图书一样，这部书看上去更像是一部科普读物——一本讲述城市起源、进化、发展和未来趋势的...
