Synopsis
FIRST STERLING PROPRIETARY PAPERBACK EDITION. 2015 deluxe( w/ flaps) jumbo oversize trade paperback, Peter James, Nick Thorpe (Ancient Mysteries: Discover the latest intriguing, Scientifically sound explanations to Age-old puzzles). You leave your seventh-floor apartment, curse the congested traffic that delays you, and stop at a fast-food restaurant on your way to have cataract surgery. You live in Rome in A.D. 25. Ancient Inventions entertainingly demonstrate that there is indeed little new under the sun. The book is divided by the authors (Centuries of Darkness, LJ 3/15/93) into convenient, browsable sections such as "Sex Life," "Military Technology," and "Communications," each one presenting fascinating evidence of the extent to which human knowledge can be extinguished. Cute rather than hilarious in its humor, Ancient Inventions is thoroughly researched and profusely illustrated; it is doubtful that anyone could examine it without coming away enlightened in one of its broadly ranging areas. - Amazon

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. A lengthy and rather heavy work of 672 pages, where the authors of reveal that some of humankind's most important and amazing inventions actually date back thousands of years. Unlike most soft cover works, this book has a front and rear dust flap. There is no creasing on the spine. On the back cover, over the bar code someone has drawn a red line. On the front cover and first few pages there is a small curl at the outer bottom edge that I am attempting to straight out. Ancient Inventions is defined in this study as before 1492. All in all, a very presentable and serviceable copy; available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box! Seller Inventory # 012979
