Book Description 

Review
Scribner has revised its college-level Ancient Writers: Greece and Rome (1982) and Civilizations of the Ancient Mediterranean: Greece and Rome (1988) to provide us with an attractive encyclopedia for younger students. With a glimpse into the relevance of Greek and Roman history and their impact on Europe and the Americas, these four volumes cover the period from 2,000 B.C. to 529 A.D. The volumes are arranged alphabetically, with volume 1 containing a table of contents that lists the maps, color plates, and entries for all four volumes.
The encyclopedia features almost 500 entries ranging from a few short paragraphs to more than 17 pages for Greece, history of. Entries provide explanations of each subject, as well as references to related topics found within the four volumes. On each page, in the left margin, one can find definitions of terms that might be unfamiliar to users, along with sidebars and time lines. Following the entries in volume 4 is a list of suggested readings grouped under 11 subject areas, including culture and society, myths and legends, biography, and fiction. A "Timeline of Ancient Greece and Rome" is repeated at the beginning of each volume.

Covering a wide range of topics, the entries provide students with a basic understanding before they move on to more in-depth sources such as Facts On File's Handbook to Life in Ancient Greece [RBB Ag 97] and Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome (1994). Most public and school libraries will want to add this set to their reference collections because of the lack of similar resources designed especially for students at the middle-to high-school level.
