Reviews

`Review from previous edition the arguments are well presented and attractively illustrated.

Times Literary Supplement
`handsomely illustrated ... Carey's style is straightforward, readable and agreeably jargon-free and the full, traditionally placed footnotes make it easy to pursue particular topics ... should certainly find a place in university libraries, probably in both the Classics and History of Art sections. General readers, who have perhaps had simplistic ideas of the scope of the Natural History, will find themselves reconsidering and re-reading.
