Title: Unreadable
Review: This book is very advanced and I feel I should caution anyone purchasing this book at an undergraduate level. The author goes straight into advanced material without providing any background information. The names of ancient cities, languages and peoples are spewed out one after another and the way the text is written seems to assume the reader has an extensive knowledge of geography (ever heard of Ugarit, Karkemish or Qatna?). New places and topics are introduced randomly within the same paragraph, and even the same sentence!Sample of text: "The Hittites, flourishing from the sixteenth to the thirteenth century BC, created a massively literate civilization, and the royal library at Hattusas, discovered in modern Bogaz Koy, 150 kilometres west of Ankara, contains materials not only in Hittite and Akkadian, but also in Hurrian, Luwian, and Palaic, interspersed here and there with phrases in Hattic, Sumerian and the Indo-Aryan language of Mitannian aristocracy" (41).
