<p>A stimulating sourcebook of destinations for the seasoned traveler and the armchair explorer alike, with 250 entries on the world's "must-visit" cities and 500 stunning photos.The Book of Cities is an inspiring gazetteer of the world's cities--a celebration of their diversity, energy, and culture. We set off from the Greenwich meridian in London and head west (in longitudinal order), visiting the Americas and beyond. We explore all the classic metropolitan destinations--New York, Paris, Rio, Rome, Tokyo--and also take in those that are lesser known. Each of the 250 cities is portrayed in evocative photos and lively commentary that capture the character of the place--the particular blend of history, topography, climate, customs, and cuisine that make it distinctive. Insights are also offered in nuggets of information on the topography and residents as well as quotes from the famously well-traveled. The Book of Cities is the perfect companion to inspire a first visit, to refresh memories of journeys past, or to fire up the imagination of anyone with wanderlust.</p>

It offers area-by-area coverage of the city and its surroundings plus excursions to Modena for balsamic vinegar and Ferraris, Parma for ham, Piacenza for cheese, and Ferrara for its graffito ceramics. All sights, accommodations, restaurants, and bars noted in the text are cross-referenced to user-friendly two-color maps.
