Series Review:"Each section, consisting of one or two spreads, includes a brief inset profile of a historical figure, such as a temple singer in Egypt or Pericles's companion and speech writer, Aspasia, in Greece, plus several large color photos of period art and artifacts. ...these books should make at least some ancient cultures seem a little more tangible to young students."
