All of the reviews are written with the undergraduate in mind, so are not comments on the quality of the book as a work of acedemia. Additions to the list are also welcomed, although I will probably not do any more reviews myself. I can always add them as an adendum in case anyone is interested. I started this project for my own benefit, and in preparing it for public consumption, I may have missed some of my personal shorthand notations. We work hard.
Archaeology is mostly a sore back and aching fingers.
Thanks to those who contributed the following additional information. The Council on Middle East Studies at Yale University is pleased to announce its intention to hold a conference on Middle Eastern environmental issues from October 30 through November 1, 1997. You can also email the conference organizers Magnus Thorkell Bernhardsson or Roger Kenna . It is hoped that the proposed conference will result in the widest possible gathering yet of scholars working on all areas of Iranian Studies, in all academic disciplines covering all historical periods. The Washington, D. C. area has been selected as the site of the Conference because of its centrality and in order to emphasize the continuity of this conference with the previous one held in May 1993.
