false <![CDATA[A History of London]]> 2097088 1 The Romans built it, the Angles and Saxons invaded it, the Vikings ravaged it, the Normans conquered it. From its beginnings as a foreign outpost on the banks of the Thames in the first century to, in the twenty-first, the teeming metropolitan sprawl of an extraordinarily cosmopolitan world capital, London has been shaped by successive waves of migration into a marvelous polyglot of a city. The history of London may indeed be a history of printing, the theater, newspapers, museums, pleasure gardens, music halls, international finance, and the novel, but for Stephen Inwood it is a history of the people whose tastes, talents, philosophies, and pocketbooks have created it -- and sometimes threatened to destroy it. 2102451 5 1999 A History of London total:11|5:3|4:7|3:1|2:0|1:0| 11 46 17 0 4 0 false false Wed Nov 18 11:14:54 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 11:14:54 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 12 08:00:28 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 02 07:41:30 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 04:54:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 21:22:12 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 21:22:12 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 12 22:37:27 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 22:37:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 05 21:30:57 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 21:30:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 13 19:19:12 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 19:19:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 16:55:19 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 16:55:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 21 01:24:04 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 01:24:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 05 13:15:28 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 13:15:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Dec 20 18:43:35 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 14:00:36 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Dec 15 07:30:13 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 07:30:13 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Aug 31 16:45:38 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 16:45:38 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 23 13:39:08 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 15 08:37:15 -0800 2008 Wed Jul 23 13:39:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Feb 11 21:50:29 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 21:50:35 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jan 05 15:13:32 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 15:13:44 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Nov 19 15:28:50 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 19 15:28:50 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Tue Nov 13 10:31:45 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 13 10:31:45 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2097088
