Summary

In "The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World: Babylon," George Rawlinson intricately explores the rise and fall of one of history's most remarkable civilizations. Employing a meticulous narrative style enriched with extensive research, Rawlinson delves into the political, cultural, and religious dimensions of Babylonian society. The book is framed within the broader context of ancient Mesopotamia, offering a carefully constructed analysis that highlights both the grandeur and complexity of Babylon as a leading empire in the ancient world. Richly detailed and scholarly, this work balances historical fact with interpretative insights, making it a vital contribution to the study of Oriental history. George Rawlinson, a distinguished Assyriologist and historian of the 19th century, was profoundly influenced by his academic background and deep interest in ancient cultures. His proficiency in various ancient languages and his tenure at Oxford University allowed him unparalleled access to historical texts and artifacts. Rawlinson's work is grounded not only in his scholarly pursuits but also in a broader Victorian fascination with the East, which imbued his writing with a sense of adventure and discovery. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in ancient history, archaeology, and Middle Eastern studies. Rawlinson's engaging narrative will appeal to both scholars and general readers, providing a comprehensive understanding of Babylon that resonates with contemporary themes of civilization, power, and cultural identity. It is an essential reading for anyone looking to grasp the significance of Babylon's legacy in shaping human history.

What kind of country is England today? 
What does it mean to be English? 
Are we hungry for change or seeking old certainties? 
Join Stuart Maconie on an enlightening, entertaining journey through England, from Bristol's Banksy to Durham's beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to Stoke's oatcakes. 
As his guide, Maconie walks in the footsteps of J.B. Priestley's classic travelogue, English Journey, to explore our national identity and how it has evolved over the last century. On his way, Stuart takes inspiration from the people he meets at bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops. 
Travelling the length of the land, Maconie explores the differences between city and town, north and south, and examines our past and present with affection and insight. Whether he’s passing the boutique hotels of Manchester, the moors of Ilkley or the grand houses of Tynemouth, looking out over misty fens or urban skylines, he shines a light on the people who make these places and asks what the future holds for them. Along the way, he uncovers local heroes and secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders. 
Through his journey, he lets us see our homes and habits, hopes and eccentricities with fresh eyes. The Full English challenges us to embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be. 
In this bestseller, Maconie offers a literary exploration of Britain, blending travelogues and essays to create a humorous and insightful non-fiction piece. This Sunday Times bestselling book delves into the history and social interests of Europe, making it a special read. 
For fans of Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), Helen Rebanks (The Farmer's Wife), Michael Palin (Erebus), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), and Alan Bennett (Keeping On Keeping On).
