At a time when the cleverest soldiers ruled the greatest empires, Alexander set out to dominate the world. In a few years he had conquered Greece, the Persian Empire, most of the Middle East, and even parts of India. Soon, on the other side of the world, Qun Shi Huangdi was building China's first empire. Alexander's was not just an age of fierce conquerors. In Greek lands, people began to look at the world in a new, more scientific way. In Asia the Buddha and Confucius taught their disciples to find a better way to live. Using paintings, manuscripts, and pictures of contemporary objects, this book gives a fascinating account of the world in the time of Alexander the Great.
