Finisher1 posted:Does anyone know any good books about the Bronze Age? I'm not looking for anything terribly specific, just a general overview. I'd try the first volume of William Durant's Story of Civilization, titled Our Oriental Heritage. Great overview of near-east bronze age civilizations as well as brief historical surveys of India, China and Japan.

If possible I'd like to find a history of China that has a broad topical focus, but especially includes cultural aspects. Things like how architecture or painting changed by dynasty, family structure, philosophical ideas. Basically a big rear end comprehensive history of China that isn't just names and dates or political history. Does such a work exist? Edit: Found this one which will work unless there are some great public domain multi-volume histories. BrotherAdso posted:Recommendations I'll check some of these out as well. Thanks!

http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Europe-History-Roman-Empire/dp/0674058097 Looking forward to this when it's released. Nice big fat book on the Holy Roman Empire which is a topic I know almost nothing about.
