About the Author:
Daniel Pick studied English and History at Cambridge University. He has taught for many years at London University and is currently Professor of Modern History at Birkbeck College. He is also a psychoanalyst and a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society. His earlier books include Svengali's Web: The Alien Enchanter in Modern Culture (2000).
Review:
"Psycho-history meets eco-history in this stunningly original study of an old hero's struggle to make the eternal city last. Daniel Pick illuminates the mind of Garibaldi, the making of modern Italy and the history of cities, health and civil engineering. Rome will never look or smell the same to me after reading this book."
