This series shows how basic elements of our civilisation have developed from their earliest beginnings to the present day. Artwork and simple text present examples of innovation and evolution from many countries. New discoveries are related to the social and political needs which inspired them and to the technologies that made them possible. The book looks at the extraordinary lives and achievements of many of the world's past and present rulers, from mysterious prophets to brave war-leaders, brutal dictators and puppet kings.
