Syria

The vibrance of modern Syria, as witnessed in itscommercial centres like Damascus and Aleppo, reflectsa cultural formalisation of great antiquity. Indeed, Syria isincontestably a fountainhead of ancient civilisation. Syria'sarchaeological sites rival those of ancient Persia,Mesopotamia and Egypt. Its history recalls its role in thecivilisation of Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome andthe Byzantium. The country is a mosaic of culturalinfluences. Given such rich heritage, it is remarkable thattoday's Syria remains relatively undiscovered andunderrepresented in contemporary books.Syria, Cradle of Civilisation aims to redress the balance.Through a lively and informed text - accompanied by botharchive and commissioned photography and maps - this newwork provides the definitive illustrated reference on thecountry's complex history; it offers an unparalleled insightinto the making of modern Syria.
