Press Release

Michael Baizerman searches for origins of oldest cities on earth

‘Dawn and Sunset’ traces earliest complex societies in Ancient Near East

BAT YAM, Israel – One of the most intriguing puzzles of ancient history is when and where the earliest cities on earth showed up. This question has inspired Michael Baizerman to search for the origin of the oldest cities on earth and thus prompted him to write “Dawn and Sunset.” (published by AuthorHouse UK)

 

This book traces the emergence of one of the earliest complex societies in the Ancient Near East. It follows the development of pristine city communities throughout the IV and the III millennia BCE. It describes their consolidation into early empires and their inevitable decline.

 

“It will appeal to history fans who will find new interpretations of facts and events,” says Baizerman. “It will appeal to history students as well who will be attracted by dramatic style and accurate descriptions”.

 

Written by a layman and addressed to general readers, “Dawn and Sunset” will show that mankind is connected to its roots from the sights and sounds of the Ancient Near East to the image of the rich culture that was one of the predecessors of man’s own civilization.

“Dawn and Sunset” for universities

Last week, I got a thank-you note from the fourth Israeli university, Ariel. They appreciate the donation of my book “Dawn and Sunset” for their library with a hope that it will enrich their students and lecturers. Similar letters have been received from Haifa, Beer Sheba, and Bar Ilan universities.

Dawn and Sunset Website

My publisher Authorhouse released a new website where I can communicate with my readers. It can be viewed at http://www.michaelbaizerman.com

The website tells about my history book, Dawn and Sunset, which describes the origin and development of the oldest cities in the Ancient Near East. I am supplying additional information about the book and share my plans for the future.

“Dawn and Sunset” (5)

My publisher, Authorhouse, wants me to take an active part in spreading a word about my history book in Israel, where I live. I was hesitant because I feel that it is not my piece of cake. I don’t believe that I can convince many people to buy my book. However, I decided to try. This week I sent e-mails to all seven Israeli universities. I told them that my book can be helpful to their students and that they can invite me to a book signing ceremony. Meanwhile, following a call from my book consultant, I ordered a batch of books to be delivered to organizations who can be interested in my work. Wish me good luck!

Order “Dawn and Sunset”

The full name of my history book is “Dawn and Sunset: A Tale of the Oldest Cities in the Near East”. It has just come out of print and is available in three versions: paperback, hardback, and E-book. My work describes the life and strife of one of the earliest complex societies on earth. The second version of the book contains many new ideas and considerations. It is intended for a general reader who loves to read how events and processes had actually taken place. It will also be useful for history students as a reference book on many aspects of Near Eastern studies.The book can be ordered at Authorhouse online bookstore at https://3c-lxa.mail.com/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbookstore.authorhouse.com%2FProducts%2FSKU-000923535%2FDawn-and-Sunset.aspx

“Dawn and Sunset” out of print

The new version of my book “Dawn and Sunset” is coming out of print. This work is based on my Internet research on the origin of the early Mesopotamian civilization. This complex society is presented as a lace of urban communities through their language and culture, agriculture and foreign trade, arts & crafts, social classes and administration, law and warfare. There are eight units covering about 250 pages of text. Five remarkable illustrations are drawn by Dwain Esper. The book is published by Authorhouse. A real gift for history fans and, hopefully, a reference book for students of Ancient Middle East.
