約翰·裏德（John Reader）是一位作傢和攝影記者，擁有倫敦大學學院（UCL）人類學係的榮譽研究學位，是皇傢人類學研究院和皇傢地理科學院的成員。作品包括《非洲：一個大陸的傳記》（Africa: A Biography of the Continent）、《大地上的人及消失的綫索：尋找最早的人類》（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.

評分开门见山，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...
評分赫拉利在《人类简史》中提出一个观点，认为是小麦驯化了人类。老实说，第一次读到这一观点时，我并不吃惊，因为我印象中，在别的书籍中也看到过类似的观点，似乎是郑也夫先生的书。 《城市的故事》也采用了类似的观点，把城市看作一个有生命的有机体。那么Ta们也会有生老病死的...
