Series Review: Ancient Art and Cultures"This series is a great overview of the life, times, and art of each period. Illustrations and photographs of artifacts attract the reader, and the descriptive captions explain additional details. Although each volume is written by different authors, the series format is consistent using the work of experts and bringing in influences from other places. An extremely useful purchase for school libraries, this series is valuable for world history studies."
