Purchased this book for my class when studying ancient civilizations and Iran. Wonderful and informative . I have purchased the author's other book "Iran's Diverse Peoples' and have always enjoyed her work. The book is one of a kind in the market and holds much information that I could not find anywhere else. The pictures are amazing quality !
