Description
The Birth of the State provides an overview of four of the most significant cultural centers in the ancient world, now in Egypt, the Persian Gulf region, India, and China. Petr Charvat approaches his subjects from a variety of perspectives and offers information on the economy, society, political climate, and religion within each of the empires. Using the most up-to-date research and theories available, Charvat not only delves into each of these nation states individually, but also synthesizes the material to reveal overarching themes in the birth and decline of civilizations. 52 halftones
