The Civilisation of Greece reviewed by Maguinness
Dimans Chamiouy’s historical survey of Greece spans Mycenaean to classical ages with essays on war, religion, the city state and thinkers. The 229 illustrations enrich the volume, superbly reproduced though some proper names and places appear oddly anglicized. Allen and Unwin present a fine, richly illustrated edition that balances maps, plans and archival notes with a strong academic voice.
