| Summary: | "Incorporating the latest scholarly research in this rapidly developing field, A History of the Ancient Near East ca. 3000--323 BC presents a comprehensive overview of the extraordinary multicultural civilizations of the ancient Near East. Presenting the region's complex history in a concise and accessible manner, chapters begin with the emergence of writing around 3000 BC, and proceed with the origins of the first cities in Mesopotamia and growth of the Babylonian and Hittite kingdoms up to the rise of the Assyrian and Persian empires. New to the fourth edition will be updated historical data and evidence throughout. Since the 3rd edition, several significant new archaeological and textual findings have triggered revised and refined takes on ANE history. The bibliography throughout will be heavily updated, giving students the best and most recent scholarship to enhance their learning. Finally, the text throughout will be streamlined and improved based on feedback from adopters, reviewers, and direct teaching experience with undergraduate students. The fourth edition will enhance its reputation as one of the most accessible introductions to the rich and complex history of ancient Near Eastern civilizations available today." |
