Il Progresso nel mondo antico by V.Gordon Childe
900 CHI 1
authoritative and inspriing history of the rise of civilization.
One of the most important, seminal, syntheses on the archaeology and ancient history of the Near East ever written.
A beautiful copy of the single most influential book in European archaeology, the first modern synthesis, which created the intellectual, the taxonomic, framework for the study of the subject.
