Here is an intimate look at the everyday lives of the people that inhabited the great empires through history. Each book covers a specific time and place, illuminating the human experience by describing the transportation, agriculture, housing, communication, religion, innovation and technology, and social organization of the period.
This book is very well done and tells a lot of information for such a small book. It's written for high school students, but it has enough detail that adults can get a lot out of it as well. Another book by this author, called Life in Ancient Athens, is even better. Both books cover more or less the same information, only the book on Athens goes into a little more detail. I givbe a thumbs up to both books.
