Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-- Any of the subjects dealt with in the brief chapters presented here could be, and often have been, the topic of books by themselves. Some, such as the excavations at Troy, Pompeii, and Tutankhamen's tomb, require by their very nature a more thorough treatment. Less well-known archeological discoveries, such as those at Catal Huyuk in Turkey, Ur in Iraq, and Chichen Itza in the Yucatan will serve to introduce readers to digs and discoveries that have received less international notice. The value of the books is that they will pique the interest of readers and lead them to search for further material on the subjects. It is most unfortunate that neither book contains a bibliography. Color illustrations and photographs are generally of excellent quality and will serve to heighten interest in both books. --David N. Pauli, Northern Waters Library Service, Ashland, WI
