This book represents the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary
presentation of ancient Near Eastern civilization. Concentrating on
Mesopotamia and North Syria and focusing particularly on the
cultures of Sumer, Babylonia, and Assyria, von Soden covers the
earliest times to Hellenization. His study of ancient "humanity in
its wholeness" includes treatments of the history of language and
systems of writing, the state and society, nutrition and
agriculture, artisanry, economics, law, science, religion and
magic, art, music, and more. Valuable background work for students
of the Bible. Includes 18 black-and-white photographs.
