5000 years ago there began a momentous revolution which shapes our lives even today. City civilization appeared for the first time in Mesopotamia (now Iraq), followed by Egypt, India, China and the Americas. In each of these regions civilization developed independently, and each had its own distinct vision - very different from the values of the modern Western world - which are now seen as a yardstick of growth, politics and morality. But the ideals of these ancient civilizations still influence the majority of the world's population. Based on the author's Central TV series, this book explores these ancient cultures, seeking their essential character and their continuing legacy. Michael Wood's other books include "In Search of the Dark Ages" and "A Search for the Roots of England".

<p>The most powerful women in American business today cleared their calendars for ground-breaking and exhaustive interviews with best-selling author Fawn Germer, sharing their personal triumphs and defeats while passing on what they learned the hard way. After completing more than fifty interviews, Germer distilled a comprehensive list of more than 200 "how-to" rules for leadership and success that cannot be found anywhere else. The "new woman" is ruling, and this book shows how. Among the interview subjects are CEOs from Kraft, eBay, PepsiCo, Reynolds America, Sweetbay, Pathmark, Sara Lee and more. Joining them are the most senior women executives from Wal-mart, Procter and Gamble, General Mills, Campbell's Soup, Chevron, Johnson and Johnson and others. This book will change the gameplan for a new generation of leaders, showing how to fast track, hyperperform and lead. This is the first time these historic women have laid out the strategy that will fast-track and propel other women straight to the top.</p>
