The Required Textbooks
These are the required textbooks for The Ancient World (as of Fall 2009).
They are of course available for purchase at the MHC bookstore.
But you may also choose to purchase them online at Amazon.com. For your convenience, I have included links to the books at Amazon from this web-page.
D. Brendan Nagle, The Ancient World: A Social and Cultural History
This well-regarded textbook, by a major historian and an accomplished teacher of ancient history, provides a narrative-historical framework for our inquiries into primary sources.
Nagle, The Ancient World: Readings in Social and Cultural History
Nagle's Readings in Social and Cultural History provides us with an outstanding collection of primary source readings with which we will conduct our in-class inquiries and around which our discussions will center. This is the one truly indispensable book used in this course.
