This unique approach to world history uses five distinct "time slices" The First Gods: 2000 BC; Ways of Life: 1000 BC; Empires of Old: AD 1; New Directions: AD 1000; and Cities of the World: AD 1500 to compare five separate cultures within each selected time span. By taking a total of 25 archaeological sites, each with a significant place in history, the author shows what happened within different civilizations at key periods of human history. Beautifully illustrated with some 250 maps, plans, reconstructions, drawings, and color photographs. Distributed in the US by Sterling Publishing Co. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
