520    The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations 
       explores the world's earliest cultures, from the farming 
       settlements of Mesopotamia to the Americas and Polynesia, 
       via the birth of Greek city states and the foundation of 
       Rome. It examines the development of civilizations in the 
       Near East - Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian - as well as 
       those in Europe - the Minoans, Etruscans and Celts. Across
       the continents of Africa, Asia and America it covers 
       subjects including Egypt from its pre-dynastic roots to 
       the age of the Pharaohs, China during the Shang and Zhou 
       dynasties, and the great cities of the Incas and Aztecs. 
       Vivid descriptions of individual civilizations are 
       complemented by discussion of such key topics as 
       colonization, agriculture and technology, and the rise of 
       empires. Richly illustrated with photographs, artwork re-
       creations and full-colour maps, this is an illuminating 
       and multi-faceted one-volume introduction to early peoples
       and the worlds they created.
