THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD - SUSAN WISE B...

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.
