Insiders series.
The first half of these books introduce general information about the life and times of a particular era with an eye toward culture and architecture. They then focus on specific locations and practices to flesh out the facts already presented. Each topic is explored on busy but well-captioned double-page spreads. The details are captivating, but the information is scattered. Glos., ind. Review covers these Insiders titles: Knights & Castles and Egypt.
