Review: A very small book for the price paid
Review: This comprehensive and informative work by John Haywood presents a helpful introduction to a wide variety of civilisations from all over the world. There's a preface plus an introduction entitled: 'What is Civilisation?. After that these are two pages of very helpful timelines. The rest of he work is divided into five sections followed by 'Further Reading', index and acknowledgements. The five sections are:1: The Ancient Near East. 2. The African Civilisations. 3. The First Civilisations of Africa. 4. The First European Civilisations. 5. The Ancient Americas. The information about the civilisations is accompanied by a whole host of helpful maps. and there are some very good illustrations. Besides being helpful in itself, this work forms an excellent companion and guide to further, more extensive research concerning any one of the civilisations the reader might be especially interested in. It's a valuable 'getting to know' work. 'Oh, look what those people did there so very long ago! This is wonderful! I must find out more about them.' Then the reader can search for more information on the internet and so on. We have here a valuable gate opening work, stimulating us to find out more about what built the world into what it has become. It's a gem.

*by G***R on 6 April 2018*

Review - Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations is another of the delightful series from The Penguin Group. While definitely not a definitive work on the ancient civilizations, this book is an excellent over of the ancient civilizations. This book is a joy to just leaf through casually for a taste of the ancient civilizations. Like all it’s Penguin siblings, this book is well written, well formatted, well illustrated and full of outstanding hard to find maps illustrating and expanding on the points in the essays. The essays are brief and eclectic, but informative. They point the way to more expansion of knowledge. No pretense is made of being a complete history book. I recommend these, and this one especially, to individuals with a quest for quick, overview type knowledge of ancient civilizations.
