Everyone teaching Greek history complains constantly of the lack of a good book. This one has a good balance of narrative and social\/economic history. It's also unusual in trying to cover all areas of Greece, not just Athens and Sparta. I should add that I've read a couple of other Greek history textbooks in preparation for other publishers in the last couple of years, and this book is head-and-shoulders above the rest.
