Ancient Mesopotamia at the Dawn of Civilization by Guillermo Algaze
Drawing on the work of modern economic geographers, the author explores how the unique river-based ecology and geography of the Tigris-Euphrates alluvium affected the development of urban civilization in southern Mesopotamia.
"Outstanding... This book is the single best treatment available in discussing the complex issues involved in bringing about Mesopotamian civilization, offering a model of approach for anyone interested in the emergence of civilization." (Choice)"
