Publisher Synopsis
Kenoyer's discussion of the Indus Valley script is balanced and unspeculative. Because of his even-handed approach , Kenoyer suceeds very well in his objectives of providing an introductory text on the Indus Valley civilisation. The overall quality of the illustrations is very high, and the relatively low cost of the book should ensure a wide readership. - Richard Fynes - International Journal of Punjab Studies (UK) Read more...
