![]() ![]() Author: Leick Gwendolyn (EDT) Publisher: Routledge Specialists in the part of the world that is now occupied Iraq in its prehistoric and protohistoric period filter their research, mostly of the primary epigraphic research, through issues of current interest such as ecology, productivity, power relations, economics, epistemology, scientific paradigms, and complexity. The arrangement of their studies, however, moves from the hard evidence of geography, ecology, and material culture to softer sources, primarily cuneiform tablets. Among the topics are land and land use in the middle Euphrates Valley, Babylonian sources of exotic raw materials, the Babylonian economy in the first millennium BC, women and gender, the role and function of goddesses in Mesopotamia, Gilgamesh and the literary traditions of ancient Mesopotamia, Mesopotamian astral science, and relations with the Persian Empire. The 2007 edition was cloth bound. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) € 55,30

![]() ![]() Author: Leick Gwendolyn Publisher: Penguin Group USA More than seven thousand years ago, the first urban civilization began in Mesopotamia, in an area corresponding to present-day Iraq. This remarkable book is the first to reveal everyday life as it was in ten long-lost Mesopotamian cities. Using archaeological fragments of jewelry, textiles, and writings, anthropologist Gwendolyn Leick paints a colorful picture of the lives of Mesopotamians—from poets and priests to businesswomen and divorcées—and the incredible achievements of their advanced and imaginative society. € 17,00

![]() ![]() Author: Leick Gwendolyn Publisher: Newton & Compton Più di 7000 anni fa, nell'area occupata oggi dall'Iraq, nasceva e si sviluppava la grande civiltà mesopotamica. Sebbene i babilonesi, i sumeri e gli assiri non siano entrati nell'immaginario collettivo con la stessa forza degli abitanti dell'antico Egitto, essi rappresentano l'esempio più autentico di stratificazione sociale, culturale e sociale che la storia conosca. Dobbiamo a loro, infatti, le prime forme di urbanizzazione e le prime città, alcune delle quali abitate ancora oggi. € 15,50
