This review is from: Encyclopedia of the Roman World (History Encyclopedias) (Hardcover)

This book is fantastic for using with Junior High kids on up. The information is clear and the drawings and photos are also well-done. The Internet links provide expansion without you having to search things out yourself. For adults who want a (very) quick review in basic terms, this is the book! I use it with my European History classes. The reading level is mid-range: excellent readers would probably find it too easy. Struggling readers might need some extra help in some parts. Overall, worth having as a source!
