brief discussions August 29, 2008
Lavishly illustrated with many colour maps and photos of ancient items, the book strives to hold the reader's attention. Not that the text is neglected, of course. The authors explain in straightforward fashion the development of the ancient civilisations of the Middle East and Europe.
We see the rise of Greece and Rome, in more detail than the descriptions of Mesopotamia or Egypt. But in the limited space available, perhaps this was inevitable.
The later chapters focus on western and southern Europe. Relatively little discussion of Moscovy or indeed eastern Europe in general.
