Thad P says:
Whether Roman remains in Vietnam or Chinese remains in ancient Ukraine, people build the best life they can wherever they wind up.
Exploring the powerful empires and diverse peoples in Europe, Asia and Africa beyond the reaches of Greece and Rome, the author takes readers along Morocco's sandy caravan routes to the northern Black Sea's freezing winters, from Co-Loa in Vietnam's Red River valley to the forts south of Hadrian's Wall.

I work in the circulation department. I read mostly history, nonfiction and science (geology nerd here), but also enjoy a good mystery or a sci-fi/fantasy excursion. I love nature and my personal version of heaven is a cabin in the woods with the sun setting, a fire going and a stack of good books still waiting to be read.
