Legacy

"...vividly re-creates the development of the earliest cities. Wood rises to this daunting challenge, probing the origins of modern civilization while engaging readers with a writing style that is as accessible as it is spellbinding. The search takes him first to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, revealing the remnants of Mesopotamian culture. Throughout his travels--from Iraq onward to India, China, Egypt, and Central America--the fascinating historical detail presented is supported by maps, old and new photographs, artwork, and images of antiquities. All serve to illustrate a grand journey, as Wood penetrates modern-day societies and their customs, encountering crumbling ruins and visualizing settlements that once existed, albeit thousands of years past.White, Steve is the author of 'Legacy' with ISBN 9780671876432 and ISBN 0671876430.
