School Library Journal : "They do have a simple attractive format that makes them accessible to young audiences. Even in these brief introductions, the author avoids judging these ancient societies by modern-day values. Full-color photos, maps, and reproductions are plentiful and add interest to the texts."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "Befitting the series title, the book gives a personalized version of this historical movement and the cultural and political elements of the time are firmly in the background."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "The author presents his information clearly without fictionalizing, and offers some first-person accounts by period writers. The layout is clear and logical. An informative introduction that will have some appeal for reluctant readers."
