First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is actually a compilation of essays by many writers about ancient and early Asian and European history with the addition of a great many illustrations. The book has sound hinges and is not cocked. There are a few words on the first free endpage; otherwise pages are clean, unmarked and undamaged. Exterior covers are clean and the gilt lettering on the spine is bright. There is a small bump on the back cover and one shallow dent in the top edge of the back cover. No bumped corners or rubbing to extremities. The dust jacket is clean with light toning (age tanning) to the white portions (inside flaps). It has a single small tear and a light crease at the top edge of the inside front flap and a couple of other light creases near the top edge. Very little wear otherwise. It has been put in a clear archival sleeve to keep it looking great. The book, dust jacket and sleeve will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit. This is a heavy, oversize book that will probably require extra funds for shipping outside of the United States.

Hard Cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Thus 1st Printing. CONDITION: BOOK: As New. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: Lavishly illustrated, meticulously researched, and clearly written, Forty Centuries: From the Pharaohs to Alfred the Great presents a panoramic sweep of more than 4,000 years of history. Within the pages of this magnificent book, the reader will relive the drama and excitement of bygone civilizations. He will meet warriors, kings, mystics - the men and women who shaped their times - Alexander the Great, who conquered half the known world; Hammurabi, who gave Babylon the world's first legal code; Charlemagne, who attempted to rebuild the empire of ancient Rome; Cleopatra, for whom Marc Antony gambled - and lost - an empire; Buddha, who proposed a unique solution to men's suffering; Alfred, who established a new idea of nationhood. The story of the rise and fall, the achievements and setbacks of these vanished peoples is told in this volume, through a detailed look at twenty-four major events - each a "milestone" in its impact on its contemporary world and its continuing effect on the modern world. From the creation of the first political state in Egypt in 3000 BC to the capture of London by King Alfred of Wessex in AD 886-the reader will learn about significant moments in the history of man. Well-known events - the Exodus of the Jews, Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, the crucifixion of Jesus, the crowning of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor - have been approached with fresh viewpoints and penetrating interpretations. The chapters on less familiar events - the Aryan invasion of India, the Japanese renaissance from Chinese cultural domination - have been written in a manner that dramatically reveals why they are turning points in man's development. Linking each "milestone" to he next is a two-page section that gives the reader a summary of other important historical trends. Supplementing the text are more than 400 magnificent illustrations - one-fourth in full color - that capture the spirit of the times. Numerous maps, charts and diagrams are included to highlight the narrative. On almost every page, modern photographs are juxtaposed with illustrations of monuments, coins, gems, paintings, statuary, ruins, mosaics, pottery . . . The twenty-four essays, written especially for this volume, are the contributions of an international panel of distinguished scholars. Each is a specialist in his field, a writer who has the unique ability to translate scholarly material into a lively, informative essay. Among the contributors are Leonard Cottrell, J. W. Parkes, Marcel Brion, Peter Green, Michael Grant, David Knowles and Nora Chadwick. The editors of the volume are the late S. G. F. Brandon, who until his tragic death in 1971, was Professor of Comparative Religion at the University of Manchester in England, and a leading authority on ancient civilizations; and Friedrich Heer, Professor of the History of Ideas at Vienna University, and a well-known expert on medieval history. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
