Allowing us to travel mid-air through London, "High Above London" leads us to a thoroughly new appreciation of a city that has always been foremost in people's imagination. These splendid aerial photographs reveal a complex city of contrasts. An urban cluster without regular order, the city is actually a collection of villages that grew up around Roman Londinium, and today each has its own history, character, architecture, and even rhythm - and all are illustrated in the beautiful photographs. The sky offers a perfect vantage point to view and understand this city of contrasts with its cultural diversity and multi cultural nature. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
