Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five thousand years ago there began the most momentous revolution in human history. Starting in Mesopotamia, city civilization emerged for the first time on earth, to be followed in Egypt, India, China and the Americas. The ideals of these ancient civilizations still shape the lives of the majority of mankind. In Search of the First Civilizations (previously published as Legacy) asks the intriguing question: what is civilization? Did it mean the same to the Chinese, the Indians and the Greeks? What can the values of the ancient cultures teach us today? And do the ideals of the West - a latecomer to civilization - really have universal validity? In this fascinating historical search, Michael Wood explores these ancient cultures, looking for their essential character and their continuing legacy. A brilliant exploration. Sunday Times Well-written, gorgeous and guaranteed to induce thought... Wood takes great care to put everything in a large historical perspective, which is actually more disturbing than comforting.

Book excerpt: "In only two centuries, the Aztecs conquered an area from the present location of Mexico City to both coasts of Mexico. They built a city that inspired awe in the Spanish invaders; built irrigation canals, aqueducts, and roads; developed productive agricultural techniques; produced art and architecture that is still admired; had one of the few writing systems in pre-Columbian America; and were accomplished mathematicians and astronomers. The Aztecs details not just the well-known aspects of war and empire, but also the whole of Aztec life. It draws on a wealth of information to present the first balanced and complete account of one of the great New World cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
