The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with 105 illustrations, in both colour and monochrome. ***Near fine in pictorial glossy laminated boards. Boards clean and unmarked. No bumps.

Pages bright white and crisp. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, which replicates the design on the boards. The dustwrapper is unpriced. No tears. There is just a small area of rubbing and slight surface loss to the top of the spine of the dustwrapper. ***208 pages including a detailed section of Further Reading, Notes and an Index. 245 mm x 170 mm. ***'Towns of great complexity, brought to light in the last 150 years in Iraq and Iran and in Pakistan, have been dated back some 50 centuries. They were founded at a time when the rest of the early world, with the notable exception of Egypt, had mastered only the first principles of farming and could certainly not provide surpluses of food to keep a part of its population in urban conditions. They were the centres of ancient Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. They are epitomized by the metropolis of Ur and its magnificent royal tombs on the former course of the Euphrates, and by Mohenjo-Daro on the Indus. They are located and described by Ruth Whitehouse in an invigorating new account of an astonishing phenomenon. ***Buildings and burials, public records and personal belongings and dozens more clues to everyday life make it plain that they enjoyed the "civilization" of political and religious hierarchies, division of labour, burgeoning technology, codes of law and eduction, a flourishing import and export trade, music, arts and a written language. These towns were veritable cities, and the first in the world. ***Ruth Whitehouse is a specialist in the prehistoric archaeology of Europe and the Near East.' (Quote taken from the inside front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A nice first edition copy of this interesting work which explores the development of the world's first cities. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 7366
