5.0 out of 5 stars Well rounded book that tells about wars/science/heroes., June 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Greeks; A Great Adventure. (Hardcover)
The Greeks; A Great Adventure is a well rounded history documentation of ancient Greece that tells about the 7 wonders to Alexander the Great to the Roman Empire. It tells about scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians such as Plato, Hipparchus, Archimedes, Plutarch, ect... It gets to the point of wars and leaves out biased opinions. It's a great 307- page book by a great science fiction writer-Isaac Asimov. I wish it was still in print so I could give the one back to my school library that I have had for one year...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great history for young readers, September 21, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Greeks; A Great Adventure. (Hardcover)
It's a shame this book is out of print. This book does a great job making Greek history enjoyable and comprehensible. Although aimed at "young adult" readers, older readers unfamiliar with Greek history would probably be better off devoting an evening or two to this book than to any other general Greek history I've seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars For all ages actually.. makes History fun to read, May 13, 2007
This review is from: The Greeks; A Great Adventure. (Hardcover)
This review refers to "Los Griegos" de Alianza Editorial- Historia Universal Asimov

I have fond memories of this book becasue its the enjoyable guide to greek history.. while being rigorous he is entertaining and guides you though the intricasies and the many consecuences of greek thought as impacting us today..

In a way I am surprised to see this is aimed at the young adult- not so on the edition of Alianza- its for all ages .. also I am surprised to see its not longer edited
