DOC Masters of War: Classical Strategic Thought by Michael I. Handel in History

Description

Taking an anthropological and socio-economic perspective; archaeologists working in Israel and Jordan present concise summaries of the archaeology of the region. Chronologically organized; each chapter outlines the major cultural transitions which occurred in a given period; and is accompanied by settlement-pattern maps and a plate highlighting the major artefacts which archaeologists use to identify the material culture of the period. In addition; windows are used to focus of major social issues and controversies such the agricultural revolution; the Israelite conquest of Canaan; and ancient metal-working and social change.
