Synopsis
A knowledge of the great civilizations of the ancient world is fundamental to an understanding of the present. The majesty of the pyramids at Giza, the mysteries of Mesopotamian writing and the gracefulness of the Acropolis are an endless source of fascination and our languages, architecture, religions, art and science are all rooted in the past. This book surveys the great cultures of Mesopotamia and the Near East, Egypt, prehistoric Europe, Greece and the Aegean, the Roman world, India, China and the Americas, which have shaped the modern world. There are also accounts of the rise and fall of empires and the rulers who have governed them and features on topics including religion, drama, pottery, writing and warfare are included. Margaret Oliphant is the author of "The Egyptian World" and "The Earliest Civilisations".

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations / Photographs (illustrateur). First Edition. Due to weight this book will only be supplied to a UK address. No extra postage charge will be asked for. Dust jacket complete, unclipped, small tear. Cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling on spine. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations / Photographs. 220 pages clean and tight. For millions of people every year, ancient monuments and museums of antiquity all around the world present a voyage of discovery to lost lands and brilliant civilizations. The majesty of the pyramids at Giza, the mysteries of Mesopotamian writing, the enigma of Stonehenge and the gracefulness of the Acropolis all evoke feelings of wonder. But the fascination with the past is also due to the search for roots - for the present is founded on the past, and to the past it must return to gain a true understanding of its culture. The Atlas of the Ancient World brings a fresh approach to the great civilizations of long ago. Ancient historian and lecturer Margaret Oliphant surveys nine great cultures, from Mesopotamia to America, and China to Europe. A wide range of maps and a wealth of photographs and artworks bring alive such wonders as the temple-pyramids of the Maya, the Great Wall of China and Rome's Colosseum. There are informative and accessible accounts of the rise and fall of empires, the rulers who governed them and the adventurers and archaeologists who later rediscovered their treasures. Features on a variety of topics, including religion, drama, pottery, writing and warfare, shed revealing light on these first civilizations, and the book is completed by concise at-aglance chronologies of the past. For students of ancient history and armchair travellers and archaeologists, The Atlas of the Ancient World is a source of endless fascination. Size: Lge 4to. N° de réf. du vendeur 126882
