In the face of massive social changes across three continents, radical new forms of government emerged; mighty wars were fought over trade, religion, and ideology; and new faiths were ruthlessly employed to unify vast empires. The histories of Rome and China, Greece and India-- the stories of Constantine and Confucius, Qin Shi Huangdi and Hannibal-- are here revealed to be interconnected incidents in the midst of a greater drama. In Ancient Worlds, historian Michael Scott presents a gripping narrative of this unique age in human civilization, showing how diverse societies responded to similar pressures and how they influenced one another: through conquest and conversion, through trade in people, goods, and ideas. An ambitious reinvention of our grandest histories, Ancient Worlds reveals new truths about our common human heritage.--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 930 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 930 Sc Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 930 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 930 Sc Shelving Cart   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 930 Sc Lost 02/13/2019 Add Copy to MyList
