Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations: From Prehistory to 640 CE
"All in all, this text does many things a modern text should do - it provides excellent standard content coverage for the time period, it teaches students about the methodology of history, it illustrates that our knowledge of the events of history was not decided by historians centuries ago but instead is constantly evolving, it fits the ancient world into a more global perspective, and it helps students relate to the past. What more could an instructor want in a text?"    --Jan S. Pisani, Ferris State University
