(4) 4-6 Cities Through Time series. Illustrated by Bob Moulder. These books deliver what their titles promise by a combination of readable text, archival photos and drawings, boxed quotations, and static illustrations. The books consider lower classes as well as middle and upper. Background artwork often creates a problem for textual legibility, but generally these are accurate, brief surveys of the cities and the culture that has evolved in each. Time lines are appended. Bib., ind.

(4) 4-6 Cities Through Time series. Illustrated by Bob Moulder. These serviceable, though superficial, introductions trace historical events and cultural practices of these cities up to the present. The texts are supported by historical reproductions, effective primary-source quotations, and a few contemporary photos. All the topics (e.g., the Reformation, food) get the same two-page treatment, so the books' focus sometimes lurches. At times, the undistinguished illustrations almost obscure the text. Bib., ind.
