* Reviews *
Civilizations of the Ancient World series. Basic information about six ancient cultures, including their history, religious beliefs, way of life, and art, are included in blandly written volumes. The books are tricked up to resemble computer screens, and some of the dark illustrations are web reproductions. Each book contains a helpful list of Internet links; readers may find the web info more diverting than these pedestrian offerings. Reading list, timeline. Ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2005
