Written in the present tense, in the style of a modern travel guide, this excellent series makes history come alive. The reader learns as if he is a tourist planning a vacation to the original Olympic games or Sparta. He learns where to eat and shop, what to expect "be prepared to head to a theater at dawn and stay all day", and what to expect if he gets sick or arrested. Includes bibliographic references, glossary, pronunciation guide and index. A very inviting way to spark interest in civilazations of the past. Other volumes cover Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mayan Civilization, Civil War America, Colonial America, and Renaissance Europe.
