Tour de Force,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History (Approaching the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic survey of the problems (and joys) of writing histories of the ancient Near East. This book rewards both novices and scholars in the field! The author is obviously familiar with the most up to date scholarship in Assyriology. The treatment of issues relating to intellectual history and the role of women in antiquity are expecially satisfying. Accessible and brief, the editors of the series are to be commended for inlcuding this treatment of the cuneiform world!

By Publia "laxgirl28" (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History (Approaching the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This is a great book for any ancient historian. The author does a thorough survey of the methodology of ancient history and the nature of history itself. He presents a point of view on why we study ancient near eastern history that is very thought provoking. You don't have to be an Assyriologist to appreciate this book.
