Ancient Inventions (1995)
by Peter James, Nick Thorpe

From Amazon.com: "IT'S CHOCKABLOCK WITH CURIOUS LORE....[James and Thorpe] have amassed scores of persuasive testimonials of primeval ingenuity." --The Boston Globe. We in the twentieth century tend to assume that our era has a monopoly on the inventions of clever machines, labor-saving devices, feats of engineering, and advanced technology. But as the authors of this fascinating and eye-opening book reveal, some of humankind's most important and most amazing inventions actually date back thousands of years.

Historian Peter James and archaeologist Nick Thorpe have pooled their expertise in amassing this compendium of human ingenuity through the ages. Together they conclusively prove that our ancestors, however long ago they lived and whatever part of the globe they occupied, were brilliant problem-solvers. Written with the pure joy of discovery, Ancient Inventions reveals that: * Medieval Baghdad had an efficient postal service, banks, and a paper mill.  * Rudimentary calendars were being used in France as early as 13,000 B.C. * Apartment condominiums rose in deserts of the American Southwest a thousand years ago. * The ancient Greeks used an early form of computer. * Plastic surgery was being performed in India by the first century B.C. * The Egyptians knew about effective contraceptives. * Flamethrowers were used in battles waged in tenth-century China. Brimming with odd facts and entertaining curiosities, written with zest and humor, comprehensive and fun to read, Ancient Inventions is a wonderful celebration of the endless inventiveness of the human mind. "This presentation of the discoveries and innovations of the ancients will fascinate." --Booklist

Ancient Mysteries (1999)
by Peter James, Nick Thorpe, I. J. Thorpe

Did King Arthur really exist? Who was Robin Hood? How did the enormous stone heads of Easter Island find their way to their resting places? Why did the Mayans disappear? These are some of the 37 big questions tackled by James and Thorpe in nearly 700 pages. A few of their selections may seem curious when compared to the puzzles that have gripped us for centuries, but overall their penetrating analyses of legend and archaeological data are fascinating and engagingly written. For those who can tolerate a bit of uncertainty in their reading, Ancient Mysteries will be a profoundly satisfying look into the fuzzy boundaries of our knowledge. --Rob Lightner
