When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

In this authoritative but light-hearted account of beers gone by, archaeologist Tate Paulette brings the famous "land between the rivers" back to life in vivid detail. We meet not only the beers of ancient Mesopotamia, but also the people who brewed them and drank them, the places where these people lived and worked, the taverns and temples and tombs where they did their drinking, the stories they told about beer, their preferred styles of drinking, their brewing equipment and drinking paraphernalia, the gods and goddesses who governed their lives and who were also partial to a drink.

Загадки древних цивилизаций, сказочные сокровища царских гробниц, ловушки, опасности и проклятия, подстерегающие дерзких первооткрывателей, рискнувших извлечь из небытия храмы забытых богов... Звучит как тизер к приключенческому фильму. Однако задолго до того, как на широкие экраны вырвались Индиана Джонс и Лара Крофт, археология перестала быть пыльной наукой, интересной только ученым мужам. Произошло это в том числе и благодаря книге, которую вы держите в руках.

En junio de 1994 se desenterró en Palenque, Chiapas, uno de los más grandes misterios arqueológicos del siglo xx: una tumba colmada de jade y cinabrio, pero sin inscripciones. El cuerpo era de una mujer, algo inaudito hasta entonces: ninguna gobernante maya, que se supiera, había recibido ese tipo de honores.

Books about the origins of humanity dominate bestseller lists, while national newspapers present breathless accounts of new archaeological findings and speculate about what those findings tell us about our earliest ancestors. We are obsessed with prehistory—and, in this respect, our current era is no different from any other in the last three hundred years. In this coruscating work, acclaimed historian Stefanos Geroulanos demonstrates how claims about the earliest humans not only shaped Western intellectual culture, but gave rise to our modern world.

You scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were—who made them, lived in them, or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences.

Avventurosa e carica di mistero: da sempre, è così che immaginiamo l’archeologia. Spesso legata a paesi lontani, esotici e favolosi, o a scoperte di tesori e reperti straordinari come le tombe etrusche, gli affreschi di Pompei, le sculture classiche. Non è più così da molto tempo, da quando nell’Ottocento l’archeologia ha iniziato a distinguersi dalla storia dell’arte antica ed è diventata una scienza intimamente connessa alla storia dell’uomo, contribuendo, insieme alle fonti scritte, a scoprire e raccontare la vita nelle diverse civiltà.
