Very good illustrated introduction to Mesopotamia. I bought it because of the pictures, as a complement of my bibliography, and it works great. Has a lots of pic in great quality. Highly recomended
A great primer on Mesopotamia
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book as a supplement for home schooling. We have been studying Mesopotamia, but it was difficult to sort out all of the different civilizations that arose in the area. This book helps to clarify that. I also understand so much more about the region and all of its magnificent contributions to the world. I would recommend it for everyone. A great primer.
Great for homeschooling

This book is great. I use it for homeschooling my children along with The Great Courses DVD course "Between the Rivers: Mesopotamia". It is easy to match each lecture and the page number that it correlates to in this DK book. As usual, the photography is fantastic. We watch one 30 minute lecture and read one part of the book each day and along with some extra discussions, crafts, and supplemental reading, we have a two month course on Ancient History in Mesopotamia that is top notch.
