Evolution of Urban Society Early Mesopotamia and Prehispanic Mexico

The Evolution of Urban Society is concerned with the presentation and analysis of regularities in the two best-documented examples of early, independent urban society: Mesopotamia and central Mexico. It provides a systematic comparison of institutional forms and trends of growth that are to be found in both of them. Adams shows why the study of societal evolution is so significant, and why it has remained a durable and attractive anthropological focus of interest. The Evolution of Urban Society remains required reading for students of anthropology, ethnography, ancient civiliations, and world history. As Eliabeth Carter noted in Science, this volume set the agenda for contemporary research into early urbanism in the [Mesopotamian] region.Adams, Robert McC is the author of 'Evolution of Urban Society Early Mesopotamia and Prehispanic Mexico', published 2005 under ISBN 9780202308180 and ISBN 0202308189.
