330   $a"Why, in the 21st century, should we still care about the ancient world? This book provides an answer by revealing the myriad and often surprising ways in which society today has been fundamentally shaped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Often the phrase 'That's just ancient history' is used to dismiss something as being irrelevant. This book challenges this assumption by vividly demonstrating how much ancient Greece and Rome have influenced and shaped our world today in ways both large and small. This revised, expanded edition includes timely new material on environmental challenges, celebrity culture, tensions between globalism and nationalism, and political propaganda"--$cProvided by publisher.
