SynopsisA lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own., Spanning the earliest accounts to the fall of Rome, this work is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Illustrations. Maps., This is the first volume in a bold series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath"--literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts--to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them., A lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own.

Great for reference or for "sit down" reading
I have been listening to this book on Audible, but wanted the hard copy because of graphs and tables and also because sometimes I like to just sit down and actually read a book. The book is well researched and informative, but still written for non-academics. The "used" copy I purchased is really "like new."Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
