Origins of Great Ancient Civilizations by Kenneth W. Harl
5.0
An excellent concise history of the ancient civilization of the near east and the regions near that. I will keep returning to this when I need a refresher on Ancient History to help my AP World History students.
Kenneth Harl is really just excellent. This is now the third lecture series by him that I have listened to/read, and his style is very conducive to learning a a lot and being interested all at the same time. He has a unique background to do this because he has been a teacher for very long, is continuously researching primary sources, and he is an archaeologist. He has the tools you need to teach ancient through medieval history, which is truly impressive. If I were to go on history-jeopardy sort of show, he would be my lifeline.
I highly recommend these to anyone.
