Great book
This book was purchased for my sons, ages 11 and 13. They both enjoy playing war type computer games and enjoy history. This seems to be one of the books they pull out to look through time and time again. Plus they have used it in reference to lessons they are learning at school.

Great pictorial
A great pictorial for everyone from 3 to 93. 48 pages. Cuts through academic rhetoric to give clear and concise images of ancient cultures' costume and hairstyles including those of Ancient Mesopotamia, Assyria, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Hebrew, Persia, Crete, Greece, Rome, Celts, Ancient India, Pakistan, and China. A good reference for reproducing costume and hair for plays, reports, etc.

Flanking it are pictures of President George H. W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev. Now, I have no problems with the latter, but if we are talking about the American ...
