Mesopotamia produced one of the bestknown ancient civilizations, with a literate, urban culture and highlydeveloped political institutions. Writing primarily for a nonspecialist audience but drawing on the most uptodate historical and archaeological sources, Harriet Crawford reviews the extraordinary social and technological developments in the region over a period of two millennia, from 3800 to 2000 BC. She describes the physical environment and discusses architecture, trade and industry, the development of writing, and changes in social and political structures. The final chapter examines the shift in power during this period from the 'temple' to the 'palace'.
