What Makes Civilization?: The Ancient Near East and the Future of the West
ISBN: 9780199699421 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our attachment to ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Egypt as the 'birthplace of civilization', where the foundations of our own societies were laid, is as strong today as it has ever been.

Yet the ancient Near East also remains a source of mystery: a space of the imagination where we explore the discontents of modern civilization. In What Makes Civilization? archaeologist David Wengrow investigates the origins of farming, writing, and cities in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the connections between...

Thus, Trouble in the West adds tremendously to our understanding of Persian imperial affairs. At the same time, it dramatically revises our understanding of eastern Mediterranean and Aegean affairs by...

The Uruk Phenomenon
ISBN: 9781841710969 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on Collins' doctorial dissertation. He aims to correct an imbalance in previous studies of the Uruk period of Mesopotamian history, which have traditionally been slanted towards the study of well known sites in southern Mesopotamia, by constructing a thesis which considers both southern and northern sites. Collins rejects the theory that the Uruk world grew out of the southern Mesopotamian domination of long distance exchange networks, and instead looks at the importance of the development of a common ideology, one which emphasised a contrast between the extreme order of...

Mulla Sadra Shirazi: His Life and Works and the Sources for Safavid Philosophy

The book eschews legends and theoretical constructs of bibliography in favour of a rigorous life that draws upon a wide range of primary sources,...
