The Indo-europeans from the Caucasus

This beautifully written and well-illustrated book explains to junior readers everything they might want to know about the Indo-europeans as they must have appeared at the spread of Kurgan III, about 3000 BC or so. It is an excellent adjunct to such works as the American Heritage Dictionary, which lists Indo-european roots. It is a valuable source for reports and papers. After reading this book, your child will know what is meant by some major terms of ancient history: Kassites, Mitanni, and the like, and just what we have in common with the people of Iran and India. The book does have one minor flaw: its date. Without benefit of Mariya Gimbutas, Vlahos has all the people of India and Europe pouring out of the valley between the Great and Little Causasus, an unlikely scenario. What happened to the Georgians there we never hear.
