'Very few people have the necessary scholarship, courage and clarity of thought to range over such a dispersed and diverse ground as is covered in this book The author's ideas merit careful study' - British Archaeology

Product Description
Introductory text book aimed at first year students and interested gen public. Looks at Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus valley, which are core to most first year courses, as well as China which is growing in popularity. looks at each of these cultures from the Neolithic to the development of the State and makes comparisons between them, e.g. considers Gordon Childe's ideas on emergence of the State
Reader Reviews
I feel attracted by the comparative scope of this book. After reading it, I come to the conclusion that it was written by a scholar for other scholars, because of two features: i) excellent content, showing the state of the art, and offering its own very interesting synthesis on the matter, combined with; ii) extremely arid form, which full and deadly boring detail of archeological sites. Both thing are truth, therefore I have rated the book as 3 , because its content deserves 5 starts but because if its dryness only 1. Therefore, if you are extremely interested in the subject, buy for your illustration, not to enjoy the reading.
