Taking us back to the earliest days of cities-and the earliest days
of human civilization-in Mesopotamia, Pedro Azara in Cornerstone
offers a contemporary view on the rise and growth of early cities
and urban culture. Investigating ruins and exploring archaeological
sites, Azara helps us understand how the earliest cities looked and
felt, what the first architects and their buildings were like, and
what nascent aesthetic ideals they upheld. Azara's scholarship is
rigorous and far-reaching, but his writing is agile, direct, and
entertaining as he not only brings the far-distant past to life,
but teases out its relevance for our understanding of contemporary
culture as well. The result is a fascinating glimpse into our
history and a fresh new take on the origins of the civilization of
some of our most ancient ancestors.
