Great Empires of the Past" narrates the stories of the most important empires in world history while looking at how their impact continues in the present day. Each volume in the set focuses on one empire - such as the Roman, Mongol, Islamic, or Inca - exploring their rise and fall, spheres of influence, key events, and important figures. The first part of each book narrates the history of the empire from its roots to its final demise, while the second half explores the culture, society, and daily life at the height of the empire. Sidebars throughout each book highlight the empire's impact on today's geographical boundaries, political systems, languages, art, architecture, transportation, philosophy, and culture, linking past events, ideas, and decisions to life in the modern world. Designed for middle and high school classrooms, these highly attractive titles provide an engaging, visually appealing introduction to these great empires of the past.
