A visual, thematic history that looks at the different ways in which human society and lifestyle have evolved. It tracks key elements of human life and looks at how they developed in different parts of the world. The book is arranged into subject areas that reflect the pattern and preoccupations of everyday life - art, fashion, entertainment, religion and festivals - in the home and at work. In this way the reader can discover what people wore, look right inside their homes, watch them at work, and join them in spectator sports - travelling, meanwhile, to ancient India, Europe, the Far East and the Americas. Readers can discover the sports and games of ancient Greece and Rome and find out what a Mesopotamian child took to school in his lunchbox. Each of the world's major early civilizations and cultures is investigated in turn, from the dramatic changes during the Stone Age and the ancient river valley civilizations of Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley and the Nile, to the continuing cultures of the Arctic and the Native American Indians.
