hey guys! i was just wondering, when do we get a list of textbooks to buy?! on enrolment?! :S i kind of need to start saving.. a lot!
For AHST100; you need
The British Museum Dictionary of Ancient Egypt, which will set you back $45.
For AHST103; you need a collection of Plutarch's
Lives, and Appian's
The Civil Wars which will set you back (alone with the reader), around $60.
For HIST112; you need David Christian's
Maps of Time, which will set you back around $45, also.
For greek, I think you get the JACT introduction, which I would imagine would be around $35-$45 also.
The Co-op is a real bitch. They don't put half their books online, they never put the lists online, and for Ancient History, they're always overpriced.
If money is an issue, don't buy any of the 103 books immediately except for the reader -- you should be able to know when you'll need the various Plutarchs. Even then, you might prefer to go into reserve and photocopy, borrow from the library, or borrow of a generous Egyptology student.

www.coop-bookshop.com.au (Eventually, there will be a MQ listing)
They didn't last sem, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't again this sem. They even lied to everyone that 'There was a technical difficulty and the list couldn't be uploaded', when really they didn't want Text in the City using their prices.
