Critics Review
The book would make an excellent addition to school bookshelves where quality texts about this part of the world are lacking. A detailed index allow the book to be used for targeted research as well as being a joy to browse. Given that it is covering such a wide area, each section can only be a brief introduction, but a ‘find out more’ page points readers in the direction of further reading and resources.
An excellent read!
