(3) 4-6 Cities Through Time series. Illustrated by Ray Webb. Brook presents the political and social history of the city known as the "Pearl of Africa" in clean, engaging prose, focusing on the many different people and cultures that have called it home from ancient to modern times. Newly created illustrations are far less effective than the historical paintings that illustrate early history; color photos highlight contemporary times. Bib., ind.
