Legacy : the Origins of Civilization
"Historian Michael Wood stands in the Iraqi desert amid crumbling ruins and dry desolation.

As the world approaches the 21st century, this new series reminds us that other nations and cultures prospered for hundreds or even thousands of years. Now all that remains is the legacy of their civilizations, present and influential in our own. " -- cover.
