The Ancient Near East by Amanda Podany

This book’s full title is The Ancient Near East, a Very Short Introduction. This book gives a very good introduction to the first civilizations. It covers the near east from around 3600 BCE to 539 BCE. I think this is a neat little book on the first civilizations.

There is a very good review of this book by Joshua Markon World History Encyclopedia site. On the site of Academia Education, there is a review and access to different papers on this subject for downloading .

Spencer Reads everything on YouTube goes over what this book covers. He basically goes chapter by chapter in the end. It is interesting as it covers what the book is all about. There is an interview by Kelly on World History Encyclopedia of Amanda Podany of her new book of Weavers, Scribes, and Kings: A New History of the Ancient Near East.

An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
