New Scientist, 'Provides an overview of excellence. This impressively researched and clearly written book covers the most important events between 3300 BC and 1000 BC a€¦ useful for students and experts alike.' New Scientist, "Dickinson's balanced and sensible book fills the need for a general treatment of the Aegean Bronze Age that takes into account new findings and advances in archaeological theory....Dickinson is clear, sound on details, and up on new findings, and he does not display idiosyncracies or rancor, even when discussing hotly debated issues....An absolute must for all libraries--if limited to only one book on the Bronze Age cultures of Greece, it should be this one."
