Ancient Civilizations is a major new title from the publishers of The Times History of the World. From the first stirrings of organized society in the Middle East through to the collapse of the Aztec and Inca cultures in America, an authoritative text and lavish maps and pictures truly bring the ancient world to life. The Times Ancient Civilizations is a richly-illustrated, beautifully-mapped and compellingly written treatment of the societies from which we inherit the basis of our own way of life. The book's coverage is truly global: Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Romans, the Shang, the T'ang, the Chou, Olmecs, Toltecs, Aztecs, Incas, the cultures of Africa and the Americas. All are examined in this radical reassessment of the ancient world, written by a team of leading young historians. With 80 maps and 250 pictures, the book is a visual feast which brings to life the grandeur of Rome, the splendour of ancient Persia and the mysteries of the Mayans. For anyone with an interest in the history, society, politics, warfare and culture of the ancient world or simply a delight in a beautifully conceived visual treatment of history, The Times Ancient Civilizations is essential reading.

This volume presents a comprehensive survey of the origins, developments, beliefs and distribution of the world's religions. Full-colour maps, pictures and a comprehensive and accessible text combine to form a global overview of human faith and a key to understanding its role in the modern world. In the 21st century religion retains its power to move: from the devotion felt for religious leaders such as the Pope and the Dalai Lama, to the more sinister role faith plays at the heart of many of today's conflicts, in the Middle East to India, in Kosovo and Chechenia. Yet the evolution and history, the beliefs and practices of today's world faiths are often poorly understood. The book's coverage ranges from faiths such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism to cover issues such as secularism, less well-known belief systems such as Pacific Cargo Cults and includes a section on religion in the ancient world.

From the earliest times, individual monarchs and the institution of monarchy itself have crucially shaped the history of the British Isles. This book uses pictures, maps and an authoritative, readable text to tell their story - from Hengist and Horsa to Queen Victoria, from Brian Boru and Hywel Dda to Mary Queen of Scots, from the British rulers who fought against the Romans, through the Saxon chieftains who carved petty kingdoms and on past the Norman conquest of England, this volume recounts the lives, the times and the achievements of these extraordinary men and women. Covering Ireland, Wales, Scotland as well as England, the book gives a comprehensive account of the history of the islands by focusing on the personalities who had most influence in shaping them. William the Conqueror, Owain Glendower, Macbeth and Henry VIII all take their place in this wide-ranging account.
