How did a settlement founded in a swamp become one of the world's greatest metropolises in just 200 years? That's what happened to Chicago, and perhaps its success is best summed up in the words of Daniel Burnham, architect and city planner: "Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big." Watch the "Windy City" change and grow before your eyes in dramatic photos of its renowned treasures, past and present. Among the famous sights so evocatively presented are the renowned Art Institute, Soldier Field, Haymarket Square, the Water Tower, Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, and the Loop. Learn, also, how the city's central location helped it expand economically; about Chicago's great entrepreneurs and artists; and about Chicagoland food and sports.

reviewed City in Time: Chicago on October 04, 2012 City in Time: Chicago
I have never been to Rome, though I will be going there soon (in January - am I crazy?) I do have some knowledge of Roman and Italian history, which made this book somewhat comprehensible to me. However, it is loaded with detail about every ruin, monument and church without giving the poor reader any geographical context. The few pictures are postage stamp sized, and there are almost no maps to give me any idea where these places are. This book may be useful for someone intimately familiar with Rome, but for the new visitor the mass of detail is overwhelming. I skipped a good part of it.
