When you climb inside you see that there are only eight settings: Greece, Alexandria, China, Islam, "The Enduring East," "The Middle Kingdom," "The New World," and "Indus, Ganges, and Beyond." Which one do you select and why? Who do you meet and what do you talk about? What scientific development from this era do you seek out to see for yourself?
