Journey Through Ancient Civilizations (Journey Through Series)

This title in the "Journey Through" series begins with the civilizations which grew up around the first towns of Jericho and Catal Huyuk, and carries on to examine the increasingly sophisticated societies which evolved first in the Middle East and then further afield. These include those of Crete, ancient Egypt and Babylon, as well as the lesser known cultures of ancient India and China. The book concludes with a detailed look at the advanced civilizations of the Greeks and Romans. As with all other titles in this series, this book includes a "fast fact" strip at the bottom of each page for easy references and an 8-page pull-out chart.
