Reviews
These books all begin with a brief section that introduces the featured civilization and includes a map outlining the area it inhabited. The remainder of each book discusses the lifestyle of the ancient people and includes "Then" and "Now" text boxes showing the reader how certain things discovered or used by the ancients are still used today. For example, the idea of a jury was first used by the Vikings to determine a person's guilt or innocence when being accused of a crime. The books are filled with fascinating tidbits that will whet the reader's appetite to learn more, as well as with colorful illustrations and photographs. Though none of the books give enough information to write a report, they do provide an exciting introduction to life in ancient times and the important contributions each civilization made to contemporary life. Bibliography. Glossary. Timeline. Websites. - Ann M.G. Gray, Library Media Specialist, Pittsburg (New Hampshire) School Library Media Connection January/February 2011, Children will likely know the Vikings primarily as marauding warriors, and while they won't stop thinking that after reading this title in the Linking Past to Present series they will also have a nicely balanced understanding of the other significant aspects and lasting impact of their civilization. Small chunks of text, usually a paragraph per page, sit alongside a grab bag of digital illustrations, maps, paintings, and photographs to cover different aspects of Viking culture, from daily life and farming to shipbuilding and exploration to, of course, raiding and berserking. The bottom of each spread features a "Then . . ." and ". . . Now" section that touches on such finer points as how Vikings were the first to use juries of peers (called things), how much of our vocabulary is derived from Viking words, and the remarkably progressive role of women in their society, which took the rest of the Western world centuries to catch up with. Key dates, a glossary, and a handful of resources close out this even-keeled look at a notoriously hot headed culture.-- Ian Chipman Booklist 10/1/2010, Egotistic titles aside, these cultural studies are worth considering for the often-illuminating connections they make between ancient and modern science, technology, ideas, and even social practices. Though simplistic ("Chinese men usually wore hats. These hats were often made of fine silk"), the narratives supply overviews of each culture's history, geography, and general character with special reference to major inventions. Each spread also features sidebars that include a pair of "Then" and "Now" boxes in which comparisons are made-between ancient and modern cat ownership in Egyptians, for instance, or between the Parthenon and the Lincoln Memorial in Greeks. Furthermore, some of the inventions are not the usual suspects-Egyptians, for example, mentions that that civilization saw the first historical use of huge groups of workers for specific public projects, and Romans details that people's invention of milestones. Illustrations are mostly color photos, period images, and maps. -John Peters, formerly at New York Public Library School Library Journal November 2010

Synopsis
In the Image of God: A Feminist Commentary on the Torah is a unique blend of traditional Judaism and radical feminism and is a groundbreaking commentary on the Bible, the central document of Jewish life. Using classical Jewish sources as well as supplementary material from history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, ancient religion, and feminist theory, Judith Antonelli has examined in detail every woman and every issue pertaining to women in the Torah, parshah by parshah. The Torah is divided into fifty-four portions; each portion, or parshah, is read in the synagogue on the Sabbath (combining a few to make a yearly cycle of readings). This book is modeled on that structure; hence there are fifty chapters, each of which corresponds to a parshah. One may, therefore, read this book from beginning to end or use it as a study guide for the parshah of the week. The reader will discover in these pages that the Torah is not the root of misogyny, sexism, or male supremacy. Rather, by looking at the Torah in the context in which it was given, the pagan world of the ancient Near East, it becomes clear that far from oppressing women, the Torah actually improved the status of women as it existed in the surrounding societies. Not only does this book refute the common feminist stereotype that Judaism is a 'patriarchal religion' but it also refutes the sexism found in Judaism by exposing it as sociological rather than 'divine law.', From longships to clinker ships to a national assembly, Vikings continue to influence all aspects of contemporary life. Read this book to find out more about how we encounter links to the ancient world every day.
