[PU: Routledge], 400 p.: Ill., Maps. Hardcover with dust jacket. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben und bestoßen. Sonst aber ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed and bumped. Otherwise, however, a very good and clean copy. - The archaeological treasures of Athens and the surrounding area are known throughout the world. Yet, until now, there has been no guidebook dedicated to exploring the numerous sites and monuments this fascinating region has to offer. Written by an expert on the landscape and archaeology of Greece, this exciting new guide combines practical information with the latest scholarly findings. It is therefore ideal both for the student or academic wanting to develop their understanding of these important centres of Greek history and culture, and for the traveller with archaeological and historical interests. The author has paid particular attention to the wide range of notable sites off the usual tourist routes, the very isolation of which means that they have been little explored even by archaeologists. All the best-known monuments and areas are also covered, from the Athenian Acropolis to Aigina, from Marathon to Megara, and from Sounion to Salamis. The precise descriptions and plentiful illustrations will not only help visitors to find their way around, but also provide invaluable artistic, historical, social and political context. For those who wish to concentrate on a particular period, or a specific category of art, the guide includes a useful chronology and index of all the places mentioned in the text. The guide is designed either to be taken with you on your travels or to be read at home. Whichever you choose, it will reveal that there is much more to the archaeology of Athens, Attica and the Megarid than you may have imagined.
