I confess to be a bit of a history dunce and ruins don’t really do that much for me … HOWEVER, when I read this book several scales fell from my eyes and I found myself galloping through the text even and retaining some of the info. Charles Freeman’s style is incredibly readable. It’s also a truly beautiful book – glorious pictures, photographs, explanatory diagrams. I’m now on my way to Turkey … in my armchair of course.
