Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history.<BR><BR>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 narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath"&#151;literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts&#151;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. 13 illustrations, 80 maps. 6472742 26 3 2007 The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome total:78|5:32|4:30|3:15|2:0|1:1| 78 326 201 30 4 0 false false Fri Oct 30 20:06:01 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:17:16 -0800 2009
