It also examines how the publication of those images have shaped our perception of the ancient world, and how some of the more \"imaginary\" reconstructions have obscured our real understanding of the past. The exhibit and catalog also show how features of the ancient Middle East have been presented in different ways for different audiences, in some cases transforming a highly academic image into a widely recognized icon of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885923899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885923899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 9.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Jack Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453945524479,"sku":"9781885923899","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c5a4770-f1a6-49b6-bbdf-43c08909ccfc.jpg?v=1777303195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/picturing-the-past-jack-green-9781885923899","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
