Synopsis The Sumerians by : Paul Collins
The Sumerians are widely believed to have created the world’s earliest civilization on the fertile floodplains of southern Iraq from about 3500 to 2000 BCE. They have been credited with the invention of nothing less than cities, writing, and the wheel, and therefore hold an ancient mirror to our own urban, literate world. But is this picture correct? Paul Collins reveals how the idea of a Sumerian people was assembled from the archaeological and textual evidence uncovered in Iraq and Syria over the last one hundred fifty years. Reconstructed through the biases of those who unearthed them, the Sumerians were never simply lost and found, but reinvented a number of times, both in antiquity and in the more recent past.

Synopsis The Sumerians by : Samuel Noah Kramer
The Sumerians, the pragmatic and gifted people who preceded the Semites in the land first known as Sumer and later as Babylonia, created what was probably the first high civilization in the history of man, spanning the fifth to the second millenniums B.C. This book is an unparalleled compendium of what is known about them. Professor Kramer communicates his enthusiasm for his subject as he outlines the history of the Sumerian civilization and describes their cities, religion, literature, education, scientific achievements, social structure, and psychology. Finally, he considers the legacy of Sumer to the ancient and modern world. "There are few scholars in the world qualified to write such a book, and certainly Kramer is one of them. . . . One of the most valuable features of this book is the quantity of texts and fragments which are published for the first time in a form available to the general reader. For the layman the book provides a readable and up-to-date introduction to a most fascinating culture. For the specialist it presents a synthesis with which he may not agree but from which he will nonetheless derive stimulation."—American Journal of Archaeology "An uncontested authority on the civilization of Sumer, Professor Kramer writes with grace and urbanity."—Library Journal

Synopsis The Last Witch of Sumer by : Venu G. Joshi
‘I stood guard for them in the age of beginning, I stand as their shield now, and shall you wish to turn your eye towards them again, you will find me as their sentry.’ A metropolis created and controlled by supernatural elites, Del Tores exists on the edges of man's reality. Supernaturals, the likes of witches, vampires, ghouls and necromancers, constitute the highest social order of the city’s populace. A series of high-profile abductions have rocked the metropolis as a militant organization known as the Restoration Congregation rises to infamy. The most recent and brazen kidnapping of Zenit Aimes, a celebrated actress, and a high-witch, is indicative of the unafraid forces prowling the dark of Del Tores. Upon learning about her mother's disappearance, twenty-three-year-old high-witch, Anja Aimes, is returning home after a decade long absence. On her path to rescuing her kidnapped mother, Anja meets old friends, makes new allies, battles ancient evils, and resurrects extinct magiks as she discovers herself and her connection to the long lost legacy of the Sumerian witches.
