{"product_id":"1773015","title":"The Founders of the Western World: A History of Greece and Rome","description":"352 pp. 8vo. The author's prolific output (the Notes refer to 22 works) makes him well qualified to prepare a comprehensive summary of ancient history. Grant devotes some 116 pages of text to the Greeks and 81 to the Romans; the remaining pages include seven appendixes on specialized topics, and a lengthy comparative table of dates. Because of compression, omission, and style, this is not the most readable or entertaining of surveys and there are no illustrations; yet Grant manages to condense the essentials into one short volume.\r\n","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12595033342022,"sku":"1773015","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/1773015","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
