Babylon, Memphis, Persepolis: Eastern Contexts of Greek Culture


Description

This book traverses the ancient world's three great centres of cultural exchange - Babylonian Nineveh, Egyptian Memphis, and Iranian Persepolis - to situate classical Greece in its proper historical place, at the Western margin of a more comprehensive Near Eastern-Aegean cultural community that emerged in the Bronze Age and expanded westward in the first millennium B.C.

You know where you want to be, but you have no clue how to get there. You know exactly what you want in life, but what you want is nowhere in sight. Perhaps your vision is unclear, your purpose still undefined. On top of it all, your relationships, particularly your romantic relationships, are failing. If these scenarios feel familiar way down in the deepest part of your gut then you, my dear, Babylon, Memphis, Persepolis: Eastern Contexts of Greek Culture download book are smack dab in the middle of the meantime. All the animals are running, swimming, splashing and dashing in this colourful rhyming board book...but where are they all going? With sturdy pages and a simple, engaging story, this is the perfect counting book for toddlers, covering numbers one to ten. In the early 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots not U2, not Nirvana, not Pearl Jam was the hottest band in the world. STP toppled such megabands as Aerosmith and Guns N Roses on MTV and the "Billboard "charts. Lead singer Scott Weiland became an iconic front man in the tradition of Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Robert Plant. Then, when STP imploded, it was Weiland who emerged as the emblem of rock star excess, with his well-publicized drug busts and trips to rehab.
