£18.40Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Empire (Bloomsbury Publishing)
£12.55The first comprehensive account of the rise and fall of what historians consider to be the world’s very first empire: Assyria
‘A work of remarkable synthesis. The range of its sources is truly extraordinary . . . Frahm punctures a fair share of myths too’ Pratinav Anil, The Times
At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen.
Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria’s wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women.
Although Assyria was crushed by rising powers in the late seventh century BCE, its legacy endured from the Babylonian and Persian empires to Rome and beyond. Assyria is a stunning and authoritative account of a civilisation essential to understanding the ancient world and our own.
Aspects of Roman History 31 BC-AD 117 (Aspects of Classical Civilization)
£34.77This new edition of Aspects of Roman History 31 BC- AD 117 provides an easily accessible guide to the history of the early Roman Empire. Taking the reader through the major political events of the crucial first 150 years of Roman imperial history, from the Empire’s foundation under Augustus to the height of its power under Trajan, the book examines the emperors and key events that shaped Rome’s institutions and political form. Blending social and economic history with political history, Richard Alston’s revised edition leads students through important issues, introducing sources, exploring techniques by which those sources might be read, and encouraging students to develop their historical judgement.
The book includes:
- chapters on each of the emperors in this period, exploring the successes and failures of each reign, and how these shaped the empire,
- sections on social and economic history, including the core issues of slavery, social mobility, economic development and change, gender relations, the rise of new religions, and cultural change in the Empire,
- an expanded timeframe, providing more information on the foundation of the imperial system under Augustus and the issues relating to Augustan Rome,
- a glossary and further reading section, broken down by chapter.
This expanded and revised edition of Aspects of Roman History, covering an additional 45 years of history from Actium to the death of Augustus, provides an invaluable introduction to Roman Imperial history, surveying the way in which the Roman Empire changed the world and offering critical perspectives on how we might understand that transformation. It is an important resource for any student of this crucial and formative period in Roman history.

Enjoyable as an interesting introduction to these four great civilizations.Not sure about intended audience and it unfortunately really loses out as it contains no illustrations. (The disadvantage of being an e-book.)I enjoyed the Mesopotamian section most as new to me. The Roman section was, I think, the most wide-ranging and inclusive.Confused me at first as it is presented as one volume but is in fact 4 separate booklets so contents page at start of book is only for first booklet on Egypt. (I had to go looking for the contents pages for other sections and then bookmark them.)Sometimes the English sounds slightly odd.For example this section was praising the Greek pantheon and its impact on human civilization so the use of the word ‘stained’ jarred – plus the inherent tautology.“… but their legacy will live on forever and have a stained history for hundreds of years to come.”Excerpt FromGreek, Mesopotamia, Egypt & RomeHistory Brought AliveThis material may be protected by copyright.I received an advance review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is just as good a contribution to easy-to-read reference materials and information sources as all the other books were in the series. This includes many different geographies and empires that were previously published separately. I would gladly recommend this book which will greatly contribute to our understanding, and appreciation of civilisations past and our knowledge of ancient history and culture.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Student’s History Report
First off my copy starts on page 19. No table of contents, no title pages, no publisher information; just straight to a random sentence about Egypt. The madness continues with the font size and the numerous massive gaps between paragraphs which are one or two sentences long throughout the book. Spelling errors add to the feeling that I’m not reading a work by a researcher but a student giving a report for a class. Finally the bibliography cites Wikipedia on multiple occasions, and while that isn’t itself an issue it does mean that the writer decided not to check the primary sources and just used the condensed information that was easiest to find. All of these factors make it difficult for me to take it seriously or to recommend anyone put money down on this. Bottom line: if you’re interested in the history of any of the cultures in this book you’re better off checking out work by historians that put their names on their books.

Cheap and put together wrong.
The pages are in random orders and looks like it’s cheaply put together. Brand new book waste of money. Stick to Barnes and Noble for book buying or some places else. 2nd time on Amazon I got a messed up new book. SMH should actually get negative stars
