The brief historical introduction, which outlines Cretan (pre)history from the Neolithic (6000-2600 BC) through the various stages of the Bronze Age Minoan civilization (2600-1100 BC), offers little information that a student of Greek antiquity would not already possess. The gorgeous photographs however, and detailed "tour" of the ruins, make for a charming hour of browsing. Having read a great deal about this ancient civilization, whose unusual art and (apparent) social organization has sparked quite a few interesting theories, I have always wanted to visit Crete, and see the palace of Knossos (not to mention that of Phaestos, Malia and Zakros). Gazing at the pictures in this book only increased that longing.
