Book excerpt: Imagine living in a world where people paid their taxes with chocolate (Aztecs), where schoolchildren wrote their lessons on clay tablets instead of paper (Sumer), or where you could be killed for stepping on your chief’s shadow (Polynesia). These are just a few of the civilizations explored in this compelling and beautifully illustrated atlas. The Atlas of Ancient Worlds is divided into six geographical sections, giving comprehensive coverage of the world’s first societies and cultures. The first section looks at the early Middle East, where the cities of Sumer and Assyria developed. The second focuses on Africa, opening with the pyramids and palaces along the River Nile. The third section looks at Europe from the heroic age of Greece to the military might of the Roman Empire. The next covers Asia including India, the glittering cities of China, and Japan in the age of the Samurai. The fifth section journeys to the colourful kingdoms of the Aztecs and the Maya, the empire of the Incas, and the cliff dwellers of North America. Finally, the Oceania section follows the Polynesian seafarers, warlike Maoris, and the aboriginal people of Australia.

Book excerpt: The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations explores the world's earliest cultures, from the farming settlements of Mesopotamia to the Americas and Polynesia, via the birth of Greek city states and the foundation of Rome. It examines the development of civilizations in the Near East - Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian - as well as those in Europe - the Minoans, Etruscans and Celts. Across the continents of Africa, Asia and America, it covers such subjects as Egypt from its pre-dynastic roots to the age of the Pharaohs, China during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the great cities of the Incas and Aztecs. Vivid descriptions of civilizations are complemented by discussion of such key topics as colonization, agriculture and technology, and the rise of empires and city states. Richly illustrated with timelines, photographs, artwork re-creations and full-colour maps, this is an illuminating and multi-faceted one-volume introduction to early peoples and the worlds they created. - Back cover.
