At the start of the 17th century, Paris was known for a few monuments, but it had not yet put its brand on urban space. Like many European cities, it was still emerging from its medieval past. But within a century, Paris would be transformed into the modern and mythic city we now know. Most people associate the signature characteristics of Paris with the 19th century. Joan DeJean demonstrates that the Parisian model for urban space was in fact invented two centuries earlier, when the first full design for the French capital was implemented.

For that reason, it's the worst audio book ever! There are apparently lots of maps and historical illustrations included in the printed book. When the narrator says "… as in the illustration…" you're out of luck. If I had known this, I would not have bought it.

Everyone's favorite Idiot Girl, Laurie Notaro, is just trying to find the right fit, whether it's in the adorable blouse that looks charming on the mannequin but leaves her in a literal bind or in her neighborhood after she's shamefully exposed at a holiday party by delivering a low-quality rendition of "Jingle Bells."

Wasn't that funny; maybe I couldn't relate

I was left cold by the long story about missing shrubbery and never could get back into it. I don't own any shrubbery and if I did I'd probably be relieved if someone took it off my hands. Did not want to invest any more time; one could only imagine what was next in the book. Someone vandalizing decorative toilet roll covers in the guest bathroom? Someone forgetting to dust her cappuccino with cinnamon? Not getting an extra towel at the gym? It's probably hilarious to those who can relate.
