.Rome: The Biography of a City

by: Christopher Hibbert

October 15, 1987
Hibbert's history of Rome, from Romulus to Mussolini, is an excellent introduction to the events that have shaped this incredible city.

This is not a history of the Roman Republic, Empire, Papacy, Renaissance or Risorgimento. Instead the focus remains fixed on the city of Rome itself: its buildings, reputation and inhabitants. Its streets and piazzas have witnessed so many of the crucial moments in these states and movements but Hibbert's work ventures away from the city walls only for a full introduction to events within.

.Louvre (Art & Architecture) (Art & Architecture)

by: Gabriele Bartz, Eberhard Konigm

February 15, 2006
I purchased this volume for a trip with a school party (GCSE & A level) that included the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre.

The book, although weighty, is ideally shaped to live in a handbag, manbag, or even a roomy pocket (although in that case, get the Louvre one as well and balance yourself so as not to look like Quasimodo...).

The pictures are clear, the notes are superb, and I certainly wouldn't have been without it. Hundreds of pictures, hundreds of pages. All for £7 or so. Brilliant.

.Egypt: The World of the Pharaohs

by: Regine Schulz, Matthias Seidel

1998-05
Of all the many fine books published on Ancient Egypt this is the only one that gives a full picture of the cultures from Paleolithic to Arabic times in a single volume.
Lavishly illustrated with superb quality photographs and graphics and excellent articles by leading scholars.
It is frequently recommended as a wonderful introductory volume to students by many Egyptologists.
We have found it invaluable as a source book for preparing our lectures.
Highly recommended.

.Inside the Vatican (National Geographic)

by: Bart McDowell

September 01, 2005
This is without doubt a must have book. The photographs are breathtaking and the narrative supports them well. This is a unique insight into some of the more private areas of the Vatican as well as some of the more well known. It is now a few years since its publication, but that doesnt detract from its impact. Go, read and be inspired!
