4.0 out of 5 stars
Well made and informative,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Ancient Mesopotamia: The Sumerians, Babylonians, And Assyrians (People of the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This attractive and informative book is part of the People of the Ancient World series of books by Scholastic, Inc. The book explains the culture of ancient Mesopotamia, describing the inhabitants' government, economy, science, and culture. Along the way, the reader is treated to many pictures and sidebars.
Overall, I found this to be a well made and informative book. Now, as you might expect with a book written for young readers, the book does not go into any great depth on any subject. But, it is nonetheless very broad in its reach, and it is an excellent resource for readers of any age who want an introduction in the culture of the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Ancient Mesopotamia: The Sumerians, Babylonians, And Assyrians (People of the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This book is good for anyone seeking an overview of ancient Mesopotamia. There are plenty of color photographs of artifacts, as well as substantial information that seems to be well-researched. Chapters focus on the daily life of people in different occupations (e.g., Merchants and Traders, Peasant Farmers, Doctors and Scientists). The glossary, biographical dictionary, and timeline (covering the period c. 9000 BC to 539 BC) add to the value of this resource.

Lovely.,
By Dr. Imanuil Najad Behrooz. (Baku, Azerbaijan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Mesopotamia: The Sumerians, Babylonians, And Assyrians (People of the Ancient World) (Paperback)
Very lovely, informative, entertaining, elegant, delightful.
Practically a mini-encyclopedia in one volume, covering the major aspects of the Mesopotamian civilization. I just loved it from cover to cover. Get it right away!
