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 評分《城市》:我们塑造城市也为它所塑造 “城市是人类文明的典型产物，在这里展现了人类所有的成就和失败”，身兼作家与摄影记者二职的约翰·里德在《城市》第一章开头的这句话，清楚无误地说明了他为什么要在这本书里以“生态学的视角”去展示那些在世界历史上具有特殊意义的样...
