Description

Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of CivilizationCivilization was born eight thousand years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE.

Civilization was born eight thousand years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place.

In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period and explores the political and social systems, as well as the technical and cultural innovations, which made this land extraordinary. At the heart of this book is the story of Babylon, which rose to prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi from about 1800 BCE. Even as Babylon's fortunes waxed and waned, it never lost its allure as the ancient world's greatest city.

Engaging and compelling, Babylon reveals the splendor of the ancient world that laid the foundation for civilization itself.

Affordable Upgrade from Cheap Sunglasses
These sunglasses are stylish, comfortable, and well-made. They came with a really nice case and a soft bag that doubles as a cleaning cloth, which is super handy. I love the shape and style of the frames — they’re flattering without being over the top. The lens color is dark enough to block the sun but not so dark that it makes everything hard to see. The overall quality feels solid, especially compared to the cheaper sunglasses

Cute and was exactly as expected
It is exactly as shown. I have a very small head and these did not slip down my nose. The lens is large as it says in the description but I like the coverage from the sun. Great price!

Nice!!
These lenses are very nice and protect you well from the sun. They are dark enough to be able to use when the sun is very strong in the afternoon. It comes with its mandarin case, it has the logo outside and its sleeve also with its cleaning wipe. I always loved it, I always drive them in the car.
