Another review of Magness, Jerusalem Through the Ages

BOOK REVIEW: 'Jerusalem Through the Ages': What archaeology reveals about the history of Jerusalem - review. This is both positive and a challenge for readers; it’s dense, meticulous, and sometimes overwhelming (Moshe Dann, The Jerusalem Report in the Jerusalem Post).
Unlike other books, Magness explains, her book is not only a history of the city – up to and including the Crusader period – but also integrates more than a century of archaeological discoveries. A virtual encyclopedia of information, the book includes many details that she and others have revealed.
I noted the publication of the book here and another review of it here. And see also here and here.
