Each title explores the history, landmarks, culture, and economy of a city and introduces readers to the people who live there through informative text illustrated with up-to-date, full-color photography, time lines, statistics, excerpts from primary sources, and sources of further information.
This is short picture-book. The history seems to come from Le Strange's book c. 1905 so is good and she has lots of pictures of Baghahd and some paintings which help. She was there during Saddam Hussein's reign so it is dated from that point, and the pictures are not the clearest or biggest -- all which detract. Still it has them. A solid 3.5 experience.
