Great Civilizations of Mesopotamia. Ancient Mesopotamia: Kingdoms of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria. 2700–100 BC

The book by Assyriologist Georges Roux covers the political, cultural, and economic history of a three-thousand-year period of prosperity in the region located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, once known as Mesopotamia. Interest in the Ancient Near East and the author's research work have allowed him to describe the dynasties and religions of each era: the art, science, and literature of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, immersing the reader in the inevitable charm of the past.
