The study of Sumerian society teaches a lesson about our own times as the roots of modern civilization have grown from that setting. The writer researches various aspects of the ancient city-state: its religion, administration, bureaucracy, agriculture, arts and crafts, foreign trade, laws, social classes, and warfare-a real gift for those who love the history of mankind and the Ancient Near East. \"Dawn and Sunset\" is a well researched, nicely written, and organized account of early Mesopotamian history.\" Clarion Review \"Baizerman captures the mechanics of the spectacular rise of a glorious civilization.\" BlueInk Review \"He provides a vivid impression of what life must have been like in this vanished world to which modern life finds many similarities.\" Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Baizerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1504936108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504936101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2015","brand":"Michael Baizerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485492195583,"sku":"9781504936101","price":36.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52b113ae-7550-47d0-9bb8-d9f36e83140b.jpg?v=1778049795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dawn-and-sunset-michael-baizerman-9781504936101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
