“Scholar or not, if you have a yearning for visuals of the epic story of the cradle of civilisation, this is an essential for your bookshelf…I will be making a lot of use of this Atlas in my own writings, as a reference or memory jogger, but I must say that it has provided an entertaining visual romp through the story of this remarkable region.” - Alistair Forrest, United Nations of Roma Victrix
"...This is an excellent historical atlas of the Ancient Near East by two Antipodean scholars... While clearly aimed at students, it will be very useful for scholars as a handy summary of areas beyond their immediate expertise... The volume is well produced throughout, and concludes helpfully with timeline, bibliography, gazetteer and index." - Philip S, Johnston, SOTS Book List 2017
