Why are we so attracted to cities? How did we build them? Why do they exist? These are just a few of the questions archaeologist Monica L. Smith attempts to answer in her groundbreaking book Cities: The First 6,000 Years. There is a lot more to the urban environments than meets the eye. The wonder of cities is not only in their inception, but also in how they affect the people within them. Smith offers the detailed look at the true genius of our urban worlds.
