Overview of Mastermind (Science & Nature) Book

On the culture that brought us democracy, the Olympics, Socrates and Alexander the Great, this lavishly illustrated reference about ancient Greece presents the amazing history through gripping stories; maps of major battles and the rise and fall of the phenomenal empire; the powerful legacy left by ancient Greece for the modern world; and the new discoveries shedding light on these ancient people that are still so much with us. Even today, Greek art and architecture dominate our cities; modern military strategists still study and employ Hellenic war tactics; Greek poetry, plays and philosophy are widely read and enjoyed and science, mathematics, medicine and astronomy all build on the fundamentals of early Greek thinking. Included are fascinating insights into Greek island living, ancient social networking and the extreme priority Greeks placed on athletic competition (warring city-states declared truces during the Olympic games). Readers will learn of spectacular discoveries such as the Uluburun shipwreck, the earliest writing ever found in Europe and buried palaces. A stunning treasure, this book is a must-read for the history buff, casual scholar and anyone with a curious mind.
