Description: History Begins at Sumer, Kramer, 1988 Edition, Brand New, Ships Free Which civilization had the first system of law? The first formal educational system? The first tax cut? The first love song? The answers were found in excavations of ancient Sumer, a society so developed, resourceful, and enterprising that it, in a sense, created history. The book presents a cross section of the Sumerian "firsts" in all the major fields of human endeavor, including government and politics, education and literature, philosophy and ethics, law and justice, agriculture and medicine, even love and family. History Begins at Sumer is the classic account of the achievements of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq during the third millennium B.C. They were the developers of the cuneiform system of writing, perhaps their greatest contribution to civilization, which allowed laws and literature to be recorded for the first time. The book is brand new, tight spine, unmarked--never been read. Minimal shelf wear--in gift-giving condition! I do not believe in using stock photos. The photos are of the actual book you will receive, unlike the giant ebay booksellers! Free shipping in the US by USPS Media Mail.

About me: "daddybeanie" has been my user name since the early days of ebay back in the 1990's. I was (and am) dedicated to my kids, and back in the day I scoured ebay for beanie babies--and travelled from shop to shop, befriending store owners and getting the hot beanie releases of the day. Same with Pokemon cards, Legos, books, coins, Russian nesting dolls, sports memorabilia, and too many other things to count. Eventually kids leave the nest, and I'm now selling off certain items to support new purchases for--you guessed it--grandchildren! As a Dad and a pediatrician, I tend to sprinkle some of my ebay listings with bits of advice for parents--please ignore those if they are not relevant or if you disagree! Thank you for visiting! Please stop by my ebay store--daddybeanie Books and Collectibles. Thank you for visiting!
