:: ROME REVISITED: The Renewal of Splendor :
- "Writer / producer Glenn Scott wisely chose to focus on the late Renaissance and Baroque eras, which provide architectural links to the classical Roman past while featuring some of this millennium's best-known buildings...most libraries will want more than one title for popular destinations like Rome. This is a very good selection: Recommended."

:: CAPITLISING PARIS: Building A City :
- Learn how Paris grew from a medieval city, cramped in its old walls, to a model capital envied by the world for its boulevards and beautiful architecture for four centuries. This is a documentary more than a travelogue, but it will enhance the experience of any traveller. "What? No tour of the Tour Eiffel, no Seine sightseeing cruise, no visit to the spectacular Opera? While the Gothic era is mentioned, the primary focus is on the 16th and 17th centuries - a pivotal time in French history - and the monumental structures of that era. Also in common with the Rome title, antique maps are used to show the growth and development of the city and its principal structures...this video will give viewers a basic grounding in pre-Revolutionary Paris."
