Discover the People and Places of Long Ago.
A wonderfully unique approach to teaching history, this book pieces together all aspects of life in some of the earliest cities in the world, from the Far East to Africa and Europe to the vibrant cities of Central and South America.
Readers will discover how land was farmed and settled over 6,000 years ago, as well as about many trades, crafts, customs and cultures, including ancient Sumer, Egypt, Minoan, Crete, Northern China, Babylon, Mycenae and Phoenicia.
Topics are made easily accessible to young readers. Each topic is lavishly illustrated by leading contemporary artists. Panels show artifacts and icons from daily life, and clear maps show geographical and political context.
