Staff Reviews


“This book beautifully combines two of my favorite things: ancient history and highly detailed maps! What more could you want?! Haywood’s book is a pure pleasure to flip through and read, providing geographical context to familiar (or un-) histories. A must for any history buff!”

— Caleb

Description


This new historical atlas - richly illustrated with photographs, artwork recreations and full-colour maps - explores the world's earliest civilisations from the first farming settlements of Mesopotamia, via Egypt, Greece and Rome, to the civilisations of the Far East, Europe and America. Informatively written, and ideal for both students and the general reader, it plots the rise and fall of empires, the nature of different societies and the evolution of technology.
