Synopsis
A latest installment of the popular series is a survey of early human innovations from tools and cooking utensils to early transportation vehicles and contraceptives, in an illustrated history that features hundreds of photographs and specially commissioned diagrams, reconstructions, and plans., Stone choppers, eyed needles, camel saddles, chariots, and contraceptives: the past is paved with remarkable inventions. The latest book in this popular series takes us on an eye-opening and unusual journey through early human innovationsusome fundamental and others intriguing or bizarre. An international team of scientists, archaeologists, and historians reveals seventy of the most extraordinary inventions, from two-and-a-half million years ago up to the early medieval period. The book begins with the basic technologies of stone, fire, woodworking, ceramics, metallurgy, glass, and weaving. We watch Stone Age flint-knappers at work and look over the shoulders of early metalworkers as they fabricate glittering ornaments in copper and gold. Some of the most fundamental questions of the past are addressed. How and where did agriculture evolve? How did Romans and others heat and plumb their dwellings? What roles did cooking, food preservation, and fermentation play in the development of ancient cuisine? How did the wheel and cart change human life? When did the first roads appear, and when did long-distance seafaring begin? Later sections look at the origins of hunting, war and sport, art and science, and personal adornment. Weapons of war evolved from spears, bows, and arrows to swords, shields, catapults, and crossbows. The book examines the earliest human art traditions - body painting and tattooing - and traces the beginning of writing, the early use of codes and ciphers, and the origins of calendars and astronomy.

- t***r (64)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaShipping was great - quick and fast. The packaging was just right - properly packaged for the situation with cardboard reinforcers and item was wrapped in plastic and taped too. Item was as described, and then some - this item sure brought back wonderful memories for me, and was a memory jogger for a lot of things. The value was stupendous - memory-packed, priceless item - Thanks Earth Works!
- a***_ (1234)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI purchased at a decent price and the seller sent as described in good condition, and in a reasonably timely manner, packed acceptably, but for a higher shipping cost than is desirable. The quality is good. And in its appearance seems to be original. I don’t recall significant communication from the seller. Not sure if I would buy from again with high shipping costs. Thank you.Star Wars Dark Force Rising 1 2 3 4 5 6 Lot Run Set 1997 Dark Horse (#396933198764)
