  Piecing together all aspects of life in some of the earliest cities in the world, this text looks from the Far East to Africa and Europe to the vibrant cities of Central and South America. Readers will discover how land was farmed and settled over 6,000 years ago, as well as about many trades, crafts, customs and cultures, including ancient Sumer, Egypt, Minoan, Crete, Northern China, Babylon, Mycenae and Phoenicia. Topics are illustrated and made easily accessible to young readers. Panels show artifacts and icons from daily life, and clear maps show geographical and political context.
