This new historical atlas - richly illustrated with photographs, artwork recreations and full-colour maps - explores the world's earliest civilisations from the first farming settlements of Mesopotamia, via Egypt, Greece and Rome, to the civilisations of the Far East, Europe and America. Informatively written, and ideal for both students and the general reader, it plots the rise and fall of empires, the nature of different societies and the evolution of technology.
'Pleasantly jokey but exhaustively researched...a delight of Turkish proportions'
—— Daily Telegraph'Delightful...this is a book written from the heart, conceived with wit and filled with enthusiasm - I loved it'
—— Sunday Telegraph'Opens surprising doors on to history. Richardson has pulled countless plums out of his lucky dip of a subject...Good humour is here a leitmotif, and it has produced a good book'
—— Guardian'A truly delicious history, his homage to the humble sweet is a lovingly detailed account that can't be resisted'
—— Sunday Herald'Full of delights...while the book gets its structure from serious research, it's built on a foundation of joy'
—— The New York Times'Bursting with jolly anecdotes and compellingly useless information... a most enjoyable book'
—— Mail on Sunday
