Táto séria skúma fascinujúce prepojenie medzi geografickými prvkami a vzostupom a pádom starovekých civilizácií. Každá kniha ponára do toho, ako terén, podnebie a prírodné zdroje formovali kultúru, ekonomiku a politiku raných spoločností. Od riečnych údolí po púštne oázy odhaľuje, ako tieto faktory nielen ovplyvňovali každodenný život, ale aj strategické rozhodovanie, ktoré určovalo osud ríší. Je to pútavé čítanie pre každého, koho zaujíma, ako prostredie a ľudské dejiny formovali svet, ako ho poznáme.
