The History of the Ancient World

Discover the stories of all peoples in this fascinating first volume of a new series that connects historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China. Author Susan Wise Bauer gives weight to the characteristics of each country while still providing vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. With dozens of maps and timelines, this narrative history is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior and world events.
