Here's an in-depth history of the physical transformation of eclectic, decentralized Havana from 1519 through the post-Soviet era. As the title indicates, the authors (Cuban and U.S. ) are especially interested in the contrast between colonial heritage and modern impulses, capitalist past and socialist present. With 17 maps, contemporary and historical photographs. Originally published in 1997.  (CBA91, $23.95)
