Presenting 155 carefully selected documents--the majority drawn from British and French archives and here published for the first time, the balance translated from Arabic, French, German, Russian, Hebrew, Italian, and Turkish sources--Issawi provides an in-depth treatment of the economic life of the region, with chapters on social life and organization, trade, transport, agriculture, industry, and public and private finance. Including extensive cross-references that pinpoint the connections between the subjects discussed, the book is an invaluable resource on a historically rich and dynamic region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Issawi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195049519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195049510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.54w x 1.24d","brand":"Charles Issawi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202101788927,"sku":"9780195049510","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c71305e-5ad9-419d-982d-dd6462104279.jpg?v=1756819647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fertile-crescent-1800-1914-charles-issawi-9780195049510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
