Summary

"The very name Mesopotamia is evocative. This land, whose name means "between two rivers," is also known as the Fertile Crescent. It's the Cradle of Civilization. Cities grew here. Agriculture was established. Writing was invented. But the cultures of Mesopotamia left the world many more inventions as well. Readers of this intriguing volume will be spellbound as they discover the extraordinary accomplishments of Mesopotamian cultures. Extensively researched text covers important social studies concepts, while beautiful images bring the text to life. Photo captions, fact boxes, sidebars, and graphic organizers enhance the main text"--, Provided by publisher
