Book Synopsis
Persian cities are part of a corridor of civilisation with settlements straddling thousands of years. Taking Maibud as a case study, Eisa Esfanjary traces the evolution of ancient settlements chronologically, thematically and methodologically.

Trade Review
"This is an ambitious and pioneering study of the evolution of an Iranian desert city over the millennia, enlivened by a deep understanding of its social context, the changing structural imperatives at work and the adaptability of brick as a building material." -- Robert Hillenbrand, University of Edinburgh"This is the first work on Iranian cities that combines both a long run account of development and a micro level of analysis." -- Richard Rodger, University of Edinburgh
