New Book:
The Indus Civilization: A Contemporary Perspective
By Gregory L. Possehl
Published by Rowman Altamira - 2002

Summary:

The Indus Civilization of India and Pakistan was contemporary with, and equally complex as the better-known cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt and China. The dean of North American Indus scholars, Gregory Possehl, attempts here to marshal the state of knowledge about this fascinating culture in a readable synthesis. He traces the rise and fall of this civilization, examines the economic, architectural, artistic, religious, and intellectual components of this culture, describes its most famous sites, and shows the relationships between the Indus Civilization and the other cultures of its time. As a sourcebook for scholars, a textbook for archaeology students, and an informative volume for the lay reader, The Indus Civilization will be an exciting and informative read.

worth reading.

Must read.

Dear Prema, Just like a person v dear to me, it seems you are a good student of History. Did you guess who I mean?

already read in my school library.

WOULD LIKE TO THINK THEIR WOULD BE AT LEAST A FEW REFERENCES TO THE SARASWATI IN THIS BOOK. AS MOST OF THE SETTLEMENTS ALIGN ALONGSIDE HER CONFLUENCE. FROM THE HIMALAYA TO THE "Arabian "SEA. WILL CONSIDER BUYING JUST FOR THE FRONT COVER ALONE.
