Buck's book on the Canaanites constitutes a comprehensive overview of the history of the 'Canaanites' from their pre-historic origins to their impact on current politics. Buck nicely combines archaeological and textual data from main Canaanite sites and relates these to accounts of Canaanites in the Hebrew Bible, thus creating a coherent and engaging narrative of their history. Numerous illustrations further bring this narrative to life for both the expert and lay person. --Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee, Associate Professor of Comparative Semitics, University of Chicago An authoritative, up-to-date, eminently readable, and genuinely helpful guide to the ancient Canannites of biblical fame. It is written and illustrated so as to be fully understandable to non-specialists in Canaanites studies, but is in fact just the thing for anyone who wants the big picture. --Dennis Pardee, Henry Crown Professor of Hebrew Studies, University of Chicago
