Beschreibung

Sumerian Cities explores the groundbreaking urban planning and societal innovations of ancient Sumer, revealing how these Mesopotamian metropolises laid the foundation for modern city living. The book examines how Sumerian city-states in the Fertile Crescent tackled challenges of resource management, communication, and social organization.

 
 For instance, their ingenious irrigation systems, essential for sustaining large populations, predate modern water management strategies by millennia. Furthermore, the development of cuneiform writing wasn't just for record-keeping; it also served as a tool for literature and legal codes, reflecting a sophisticated cultural expression.

 
 The book uniquely connects irrigation, writing, and governance to showcase Sumerian urban society. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, it begins with geographical and historical context, then explores irrigation techniques, the evolution of cuneiform writing, and Sumerian governance.

 
 By synthesizing archaeological findings and translations of cuneiform texts, Sumerian Cities provides a holistic view. The book considers how Sumerian innovations have influenced urban centers worldwide while also addressing the limitations of Sumerian urbanism.

    The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
    The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
    The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

    A fresh, concise roadmap for United States grand strategy in a multipolar world For the past thirty years, post–Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous. Can policymakers adapt American foreign policy to better fit the twenty-first century, and in doing so avoid the pitfalls and excesses of the past three decades? In this book, Emma Ashford proposes a return to a more pragmatic, realist set of strategic principles, ones better suited for the emerging multipolar world, that would pursue narrower United States interests, cultivate the capabilities of friendly states, and emphasize room for maneuver over rigid alliances. In this she provides a valuable counterpoint to today's liberal internationalist consensus, as well as a road map for policymakers who seek to change the course of United States foreign policy.
