About This Item
Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1979. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Orig. orange cloth. xxv, 456 pp. Copious B&W photos and maps in text. Very light rubbing to spine ends and corners. Dust jacket is sunned to spine, lightly bumped and rubbed to spine ends and corners. Professor Finegan's vivid and accurate account begins with the development of cities and continues to 330 B.C.E. and the epoch-making accomplishments of Alexander the Great. Writing developed during this period, and written records and contemporary monuments complement one another as sources of information. The first part of this book covers the history of Mesopotamia and related lands; the second traces the history of Egypt and its environs. Both histories are presented within a framework of widely accepted archaeological periods, and interrelationships between the two areas are included in the discussions. Forty tables clarify the chronologies of the individual historical periods, and detailed references further enrich the account. Over 100 photographs - from the author's own collection and from museums throughout the world - provide a distinctive view of the sites and objects that have yielded the past's secrets to us.
