“The Etruscan World will be a most useful and absolutely up-to-date addition to anyone interested in the Etruscans. This is a very useful handbook, an excellent introduction to the Etruscans but also a work of reference that advanced researchers will be very interested in consulting. The authors break a lot of new ground and really bring us up to date on a discipline that has seen remarkable changes in the past decade.” – P. Gregory Warden, Franklin College Switzerland“This book is a massive contribution to Etruscan studies, it covers virtually every aspect of Etruscan culture in fantastic detail. The range of up-to-date scholarship is truly impressive providing a reliable guide to everything from Augury to the Villanovans. It will be indispensable to everyone with a passion to know more about the Etruscans.” – Phil Perkins, The Open University, UK“This book is an excellent source of very recent information on the society, the sophisticated technical skills, science, art and religion of the Etruscans and their economic relations with the Near East and Western Europe.”– L. Bouke van der Meer, Leiden University, The Netherlands“The Etruscan World, edited by Jean MacIntosh Turfa, is a monumental undertaking… it presents a panorama of the art and archaeology of the Etruscans which any teaching or research library will find well used for years to come.” - Robert Witcher, Antiquity "Turfa (Univ. of Pennsylvania Museum) provides a broad yet deep analysis of an ancient Etruria whose influence on Roman, Italian, and European history has been great, yet surprisingly not well understood...By presenting the latest research, each chapter sheds light onto a world that until recently has largely been hidden in the shadows of the distant past...this work will set the standard upon which other works concerned with these ancient people and their influence must follow. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - P. Lorenzini, CHOICE"The impressive number of contributors, chosen from among the most experienced Etruscologists worldwide…guarantees the quality of the essays, which are extremely well-informed and up-to-date…Furthermore, the choice to involve the scholars who directed the excavations in which arguably the most relevant recent discoveries took place can be considered an additional strength of the volume. Jean MacIntosh Turfa has produced an extremely well-informed book which definitely demonstrates the complexity of the Etruscan world and in this respect it hits the mark; both scholars and students will find great advantages in reading it." - Maria Cristina Biella, The British School at Rome - University of Southampton
