Customer Reviews

Helps students connect better with Ancient Civilizations.

I thought this book taught me more about ancient cultures than I knew before and that was interesting and valuable. I feel uncomfortable about how the information is presented though. Cultural sensitivity and understanding isn't high on ths book's list. Everything is a joke and to be thought of as strange and be laughed at. What's the point in that? To reinforce stereotypes? Guess so.
