Book Description
Although Near Eastern languages and the history of the exact sciences are known for being obscure and deliberately arcane to general audiences, Alice Slotsky has paradoxically established her legacy by exposing these topics to a wider audience. As a visiting professor at Brown University, Slotsky has taught more students than any previous Assyriologist and successfully brought this discipline to a wider audience than previously imagined possible. This volume, with articles written by former students, as well as colleagues, pays tribute to her broad interests.

A Good Place on the Banks of the Euphrates
Author: Warren Stoddard II
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578964843
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In the Summer of 2018, Warren Stoddard II traveled to Syria, a country embroiled in a nearly decade-long civil war that had become the twenty-first century's bloodiest conflict. There, he joined the international units of the YPG, a Kurdish militia leading the fight against ISIS. His story, told here through interlaced works of short fiction, memoir, and journal entries, gives an intimate portrait of the lives of internationalists fighting in northeastern Syria during the final days of the YPG's war against the Islamic State: what they left behind, what they hoped to achieve, and what they were willing to sacrifice for the freedom of a people and a land that were not their own.

The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers
Author: Earle Rice
Publisher: Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1612283713
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
There are few rivers in the world which can boast a history as long and as colorful as the Tigris and Eurphrates. Known in ancient times as Mesopotamia, the region between the two rivers and surrounding them is called the “Cradle of Civilization.” Sumer, the world’s first major civilization, originated and grew up on the banks of the two rivers because of the fertile soil the rivers helped to produce. Several other important civilizations, such as Babylonia and Assyria, followed Sumer in succeeding centuries. Many of the world’s most important inventions, such as writing, originated here. But all is not well with the rivers today. Several countries compete for the previous, life–giving water of the Tigris and Euphrates. Climate change threatens to reduce the amount of this water.
