Customer Reviews

An intelligent look at ancient wisdom

Once upon a time encyclopaedias were large tomes filled with dry facts served in bite sized pieces. Well, times have changed and this was a real pleasure to review. The illustrations are stunning, the text well researched, well written and with some subtle tongue in cheek observations as the author debunks some myths and adds depth to others. It is one of those books one wants to dip into again and again and each time some new knowledge emerges. It is made to be really used too. The book is so robustly put together it will probably end up as a family heirloom.
