Lost Cities, written by Giles Laroche, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This interesting, fact-filled and beautifully illustrated book tells the stories of lost civilizations around the world. The author takes us through these lost cities starting with the Karnak Temple and moving through various sites such as Babylon, Great Zimbabwe, Mesa Verde, Easter Island, Machu Picchu and others. Each lost city is colorfully illustrated and includes information on the location who lived there, why it was lost, how it was found and what makes it mysterious. This book is very interesting and offers just enough information to make interested readers (and future archaeologists) want more. It will pique many an interest! 

Straight Talk for Librarians: The historical facts on each lost city will be great for discussions on other cultures, archaeology, anthropology and geography.
