Publishers Description: This 373 page reference book describes everyday life in every major culture and through the ages. Each entry is very detailed. For example on the Ancient Aegeans - Minoan and Mycenaean, there is a two page discussion on the merchant mariners. This was followed by descriptions of a typical market day in Ancient Crete, the religious sport of somersaulting over a charging bull, and everyday living among common people and the noblemen. Elaborate and colorful pictures enhanced the text. .
