There has been a lot of research, archaeology, done on the ancient world since 1935! The series is also Eurocentric. And I still like the one on the Reformation: I think that might have been their ( both Will and Ariel ) best effort.

This was, for its time, considered to be a very good series of books, and it was quite popular: which is why you've likely run across it in a library, or ( big sets of books now having very low value) drastically discounted in a used book store. Your question is perfectly good, not offensive in the least. Previous AMAs | Previous Roundtables Featuresįeature posts are posted weekly.
