Your Travel Guide to Ancient Greece

Written in the present tense, in the style of a modern travel guide, this excellent series makes history come alive. The reader learns as if he is a tourist planning a vacation to the original Olympic games or Sparta. He learns where to eat and shop, what to expect "be prepared to head to a theater at dawn and stay all day", and what to expect if he gets sick or arrested. Includes bibliographic references, glossary, pronunciation guide and index. A very inviting way to spark interest in civilazations of the past. Other volumes cover Ancient Egypt, Ancient Mayan Civilization, Civil War America, Colonial America, and Renaissance Europe.

good book, simple explanations

I thought that Nancy Day's book was a very good resource for my project on Ancient greece. It gave me a basic summary of the ancient doctor Hippocrate's life. If you're looking for a resource, get Nancy Day's book.
