In the exploration of the 'first half of history', William W. Hallo shows that modern ideas of urbanism and the formation of capitals were first developed between 5000-300 BC and that aspects of twentieth-century agriculture, manufacturing and trade go back to ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Israel. Special attention is given to the role played by women, arguing that this was an often non-traditional one; for example, women are shown to have been among the first authors in history who are actually known by their names. The scope of the work is vast: Hallo methodically examines a wide range of topics, from the order of the alphabet to the coronation of kings, and from schooling to the calendar. An intriguing touch is provided by sections on games and on the world's oldest cookbooks. Includes bibliographical references and indexes. I. The Essentials of Civilization -- II.
