( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/sean-williams/lord-norwich-and-historys-greates... ) John Julius Norwich talks about his new book - The Great Cities in History - which looks at the various influential cities throughout the ages. Looking at the impact that rivers had on early civilisation, and the role that ship building played, to how modern cities grew in prominence.
Great, I will look out for this book. JJN is great, I would like his life. The son of a cabinet minister, Eton & Oxford though - he has had an easy ride.
