Review:
"A good place for beginning research, these books are usable as well for students who have difficulty with reading. Middle school and junior high media specialists will find these a welcome addition to their collections for their struggling readers. Recommended."
-- Book Report (September 2002) (Book Report 20020901)
"They do have a simple attractive format that makes them accessible to young audiences. Even in these brief introductions, the author avoids judging these ancient societies by modern-day values. Full-color photos, maps, and reproductions are plentiful and add interest to the texts."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002) (School Library Journal 20020901)
"Befitting the series title, the book gives a personalized version of this historical movement and the cultural and political elements of the time are firmly in the background."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002) (School Library Journal 20020901)
"The author presents his information clearly without fictionalizing, and offers some first-person accounts by period writers. The layout is clear and logical. An informative introduction that will have some appeal for reluctant readers."
