About the Book

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Dr. Donny George Youkhanna, (born October 23, 1950) is an Iraqi Assyrian archaeologist, anthropologist, author, curator, and scholar, who is a visiting Professor of Anthropology at Stony Brook University in New York.
