The Ancient Near East : a very short introduction / Amanda Podany. by Podany, Amanda H. Oxford University Press, 2014. Call #: 939.4 P742a Subjects Civilization, Ancient.   Middle East -- History -- To 622.   Middle East -- Civilization -- To 622. Series Very short introductions ; 374. ISBN:  9780195377996 (pbk.) 0195377990 (pbk.) Description:  xix, 148 p. : ill., maps ; 18 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliohraphical references (p. 131-135) and index. Summary:  "The ancient Near East is known as the "cradle of civilization" - and for good reason. Mesopotamia, Syria, and Anatolia were home to an extraordinarily rich and successful culture. The three thousand years covered in this Very Short Introduction were a period of incredible innovation. Amanda Podany uses cuneiform texts to introduce particular moments in ancient Near Eastern history, illuminating trade, religion, diplomacy, law, warfare, kingship, and agriculture. She overturns the popular image of the ancient world as a primitive, violent place, revealing that women had many rights, diplomats traveled between capital cities ensuring peace, and scribes and scholars could predict eclipses and planetary movements."--Book jacket.
