by Giorgio Buccellati

This volume, now available in English, explores how Mesopotamia's urban revolution in the late fourth millennium BC shaped a new mentality, leading to new forms of social interaction, and the development of the state, its laws and its religion to consolidate new managerial hierarchies in the region.
