Written for senior Ancient History students, Ancient Egypt: Reconstructing the Past uses a vast range of primary and secondary written and archaeological source material to breathe life into the history of Ancient Egypt. The book is divided into four parts with a special focus on the social and political evolution during Ancient Egypt, outlining key changes and developments throughout the period.

Ancient Rome: Using Evidence examines major issues including the development of the Roman republican form of government, Rome's expansion in the Mediterranean, the decline of the republic, the founding of the principate and the Julio-Claudian period. The text includes introductory chapters to familiarise students with source material and an understanding of events and influences that shaped the characters of the Romans. Ancient sources and archaeological material serve both to describe events and to allow students to evaluate and interpret historical documents and pictorial evidence. The text includes guided assignments, revision exercises, suggestions for further reading, map summaries, diagrams and timelines extend the student's knowledge and appreciation of ancient Rome.

This book presents, in an innovative and effective way, a detailed coverage of Greek history from the period of colonisation through to the death of Alexander the Great. A prologue introduces the reader to the various types of source material used by historians, and wherever possible the most relevant examples of this - both written and archaeological - have been provided or referred to, giving the benefit of firsthand contact with the sources. The text would be used most effectively in conjunction with the most recent publication of the written sources. The book contains many photographs, maps and diagrams, and includes time lines, summaries, mapping exercises and study questions through which the reader comes to grip with the major issues. This is not only an excellent preparation for examinations in Ancient History, but also a very readable and entertaining account of the main periods in the history of ancient Greece.

Providing students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to investigate, reconstruct and conserve the past, Cities of Vesuvius: Pompeii and Herculaneum Third Edition has been revised and updated to provide even greater support for the core topic of the NSW Year 12 Ancient History syllabus.
