The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia

Newly updated, The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia follows a chronology of civilizations around the globe from ""The Ancient World"" (including Egypt, Crete, the Shang Dynasty and Babylon) to the present, and show the development of peoples who were often completely separate, culturally and geographically. High-quality photographs depict subjects as diverse as China's Great Wall and Mayan stone carvings from the Yucat n Peninsula; these, along with maps and illustrations complement the meaty text. .
