The Ancient Near East

(4) 4-6 World Historical Atlases series. Each of these books gives a brief history of the featured regions, including key dates, historic locales, and notable personalities. The series's principal weakness is that its scope is too broad for the abbreviated format. However, the books will prove helpful to those who know little about the subject. Sidebars, maps, and well-reproduced color art appear throughout. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these World Historical Atlases titles: The Ancient Mediterranean, The Ancient Near East, and The Medieval World.
