Series Review: Ancient Civilizations"The series includes colorful photographs and images of artifacts depicting societies, life, architecture, and people of our ancient predecessors. ... these volumes read more like stories than encyclopedia articles. Each volume contains contact information for related museums and special collections."

Book Review: Mesopotamia
"A fundamental book about Mesopotamia. It provides a good starting point for research. The book is laid out well with striking photos and illustrations. This volume will certainly catch the reader's interest with examples of Hammurabi's code on the first page."
