Reviews

Introductory, readable, no footnotes. Excellent for the general reader seeking a starting point.
*Ancient East & West *

The ideas and the analyses are combined in a highly readable way, making this "pocket-sized" book a perfect source for the non-professional reader who is interested in one subject or another and wants to become familiar quickly with a certain subject.
