This review is from: Discoveries: The Bronze Age in Europe (Paperback)

A surprisingly good introduction and overview of Bronze Age Europe and its artifacts. It is well illustrated book but the text is somewhat basic written for those with no prior knowledge of Bronze Age art. Many have taken courses in world history that begin with classical Greece and gloss over the accomplishments of the rest of Europe especially during the thousands of years before the time of classical Greece. If that was the case for you this book is much needed on your bookshelf.

Acquaint yourself with the technical and artistic accomplishments of the Bronze Age.
