A Short History of the Ancient World begins with the Bronze Age and ends with the collapse of the Roman Empire. Rather than restricting his analysis to the Greek and Roman experience, Rauh introduces students to ancient Africa, Israel, Egypt, Iran, China, and the Indian subcontinent. To aid students on their journey into the ancient world, Rauh has provided key terms and definitions, "What Have We Learned" review points, and an engaging art program that includes 51 images within the "Art in Focus" and "Materials and Techniques" features. Informative maps, chronologies, and tables also give students a closer look into the rise and fall of these great civilizations. Learning extends beyond the book with UTP's History Matters website (www.utphistorymatters.com) which includes relevant essay and multiple choice questions. With A Short History of the Ancient World, Rauh has crafted a comprehensive exploration of humanity's most fascinating early civilizations.

Excerpt from A Short History of Ancient Peoples The kindness of Professor Sayce in writing so valuable an introduction to my book makes a long preface unnecessary. A few words of explanation will suffice. The history of the Ancients is, owing to exploring zeal, becoming more interesting every day. But, in order to study it, access must be had to so wide a field of literature that few have either time or opportunity to attempt it. The present work aims at giving the main facts of ancient history in one volume, and thus bringing them within the reach of all. This necessitates brevity, but, as far as possible, concentration has been arrived at, not by omitting important facts, but by omitting matter not strictly historical, which yet finds a place in most ancient histories. That the history of each people might be complete in itself, a certain amount of repetition has been necessary. A choice had to be made between repetition and history by reference, and it was believed that readers would prefer the former. Of course, in connection with so wide a subject, no claim can be laid to original research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
