The history of the Middle East is traditionally structured around
the rise and fall of dynasties and states. The widely perceived
view is that after the glories of an earlier golden age the region
went into a steady and prolonged decline: populations decreased,
ancient cities decayed and nomadism spread at the expense of
civilized culture. In this pioneering text Peter Christensen
challenges this story of decline. Long out of print but now
reissued with a new introduction by the author, this important work
is both a foundational text in the environmental history of the
Middle East and a pioneering reassessment of traditional ideas
about the historical processes of Iran and the Middle East region.
