Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ancient Wisdom is a sweeping comparative history of the ancient world's spiritual and philosophical traditions - from the ziggurats of Mesopotamia and the temples of Egypt to the forest schools of the Ganges, the courts of Confucian China, the groves of Athens, the shrines of Ise, and the ritual calendars of the Maya and the Yoruba.
