MORRIS, I. P., The Greeks. History, Culture, and Society. Oxford University Press, 2022. 608p. Paperback. The Greeks is quite simply the best introduction available to the ancient Hellenes, whose contributions to modern civilization are exceptional in their creativity and scope, from philosophy to democracy and from the invention of the alphabet to that of the analog computer. The authors' breadth of vision and insight is based on a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach that embraces art, archaeology, history, language, society, ecology, literature, and the contributions of the ancient Near East. Their clarity of judgement and sureness of touch make this book a reliable guide to a part of humanity's past without which we cannot understand our present or shape our future.-Richard Janko, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (Publisher's information). € 62.49 (New) (approx. delivery time: 14 days) ISBN: 9780197586891
