Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age

byAnnalee Newitz

Focused on a Secret History of the Urban Age, Four Lost Cities brings Annalee Newitz's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
