This is an excellent compilation of essays by scholars in the field published this year. Edited by Nancy Thomson de Grummond, the book covers all aspects of Etruscan religion, including gods, inscriptions, role of priests, grave sites, votive offerings, etc. Black and white photos and drawings on good quality paper help the reader to follow the text. The book appears to be designed for an academic audience, but the educated lay person can follow most of the arguments. An extensive glossary helps, as do appendices on the Etruscan calender and selected Latin and Greek literary texts. The only drawback for me is the large size of the book: it is awkward to hold. However, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent book.
