Ancient worlds : a global history of antiquity / Michael Scott.
Scott presents a narrative of a unique age in human civilization, showing how diverse societies responded to similar pressures and how they influenced one another: through conquest and conversion, through trade in people, goods, and ideas. A reinvention of our grandest histories, this book reveals new truths about our common human heritage.
