History of the World AD 600 - 800 "THE MARCH OF ISLAM - Prophet's Quest, illus art "TIME LIFE"

The Prophet's Quest; The Changing Face of Europe; Empire-Building in the East; The Kingdom of the Rising Son. The volumes are richly illustrated, and designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like – their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there.
