Caesar's Footprints: A Cultural Excursion to Ancient… Tekijä: Bijan Omrani
Excellent exploration of the interaction between ancient Rome and Gaul. Omrani bolsters the historical account with his own travelogue of Gallo-Roman remains in modern France; this personal, peripatetic approach is frequently witty and cuts through any potential dryness. Highly recommended.

All most of us see of Afghanistan is war updates on TV, and this richly illustrated book (700 pages) gives you an alternative picture of the ancient history, buildings, people and lifestyle etc. It truly is a fascinating country and this is a brilliant introduction.Trouble is, it leaves you wanting to go there, which may never be possible… (lisätietoja)

Other than being just a teeny-weeny bit over the top w/ some of the old reports of travel, this book was excellent in all respects. Good armchair reading, good to use as a source for resources, and good to get started planning for a trip.
A thick heavy book, this is extremely detailed and in depth. Even if you never plan to go here, this is an excellent read to better understand this region and people. With bright glossy pictures and lots of prose, you will get your money's worth. I recommend.
