Title: Penguin Historical Atlas - Ancient Civilizations
Product review: Adequate. Interesting and clear illustrations. (No one, of course, is going to agree with materials which had to be excluded in order to fit the estqablished perimeters.) Not as brilliant as Colin <cEvedy's first edition of your ATLAS OF ANCIENT HISTORY, but very useful. (I gave away at least a dozen sets of McE's first edition. His Second Edition is just not as wittily written, but it's still the best on the market.) I like the span of history and the comparision potentials among the ancients in Haywood. Not a bedtime read, but good.
