Everyday Life in Babylon and AssyriaM. Contenau has chosen to survey the period between 700 and 530 B. C. out of the whole 2600 years of Mesopotamian civilization for two reasons: it is the most representative and more is known about it than any other time in the history of this culture. During these years the Near East was dominated first by the Assyrians and then by the Babylonians, who were to be subdued by the Persians.

M. Contenau has chosen to survey the period between 700 and 530 B. C. out of the whole 2600 years of Mesopotamian civilization for two reasons: it is the most representative and more is known about it than any other time in the history of this culture. During these years the Near East was dominated first by the Assyrians and then by the Babylonians, who were to be subdued by the Persians. The everyday life of these people has been reconstructed from a wealth of evidence, both written records of many kinds preserved on clay tablets and the evidence of monuments excavated at such sites as Khorsabad and Nineveh, Nimrud and Asher, Babylon and Susa. "Perhaps the main impression. . .that we carry away from this survey is that the life of an inhabitant of Babylonia in about 600 B. C. must have closely resembled that of any inhabitant of the Orient up to about fifty years ago," writes M. Contenau. This account of Mesopotamian life is, therefore, pertinent not only to an understanding of the age of Assyria and Babylonia but also to all the civilizations that have succeeded it in that part of the world.Binding Type: Paperback

Stylish and Pratical

The LaVie Home Floating Shelves are an outstanding addition to my office! This set of four 16-inch picture ledge shelves is not only stylish but incredibly functional.
One of the best features is the front ledge design, which keeps items securely in place and prevents anything from falling off. It’s perfect for displaying photos, books, or decorative pieces without worrying about them sliding off.
Installation was a breeze—the shelves come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. They feel sturdy once mounted and add a clean, modern touch to any room.
These shelves offer the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. If you’re looking for easy-to-install, high-quality wall storage, these are an excellent choice.

Almost perfect
Love these shelves. They were easy to put up. Gave them 4 stars because they don’t have the stickers to cover their screw holes.

LaVie Home Floating Shelves for Wall Storage Set of 4, 16 Inch Picture Ledge Shelf.
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
Perfect Touch for Every Room!
I absolutely love these LaVie Home floating shelves! The clean white finish and simple design make them super versatile — I’ve used them in the kitchen for spices, in the bathroom for toiletries, and even in the bedroom to display photos and small plants. The built-in lip is a thoughtful touch that keeps everything secure, and the shelves feel sturdy once installed.
Installation was quick and easy with clear instructions, and the 16-inch size is just right — not too big, not too small. They add a stylish, organized look to any space. Definitely a great buy for anyone looking to add functional decor to their home!
