Stephen Bertman is Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies at the University of Windsor, Ontario and adjunct lecturer in art history at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. His publications include Doorways Through Time: The Romance of Archaeology.
"Bertman, professor emeritus of classics at the University of
Windsor, has made a useful contribution to the Handbook to Life
series. Covering the lives of Assyrians, Babylonians, and Sumerians
from around 3500 to 500 B.C.E., the book is arranged topically,
with chapters on geography, archaeology, government, religion,
language and literature, arts, and daily life, among other
subjects. Bertman's writing is formal but accessible, with touches
of dry
humor. The book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs and
line drawings, which should copy well. Appendixes include a
chronological table and a list of museums with major
Mesopotamian
collections."--Booklist
