"Let me also strongly recommend a book for consultation rather than reading: Waldemar Heckel's Who's Who in the Age of Alexander the Great (Blackwell), a work of meticulous scholarship which, with its who-what-and-where emphasis, comes as a most welcome change from the currently fashionable historical passion for trends, abstractions and generalities." – Times Literary Supplement - Book of the Year edition
