Publisher's Summary:
Recently, the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has become a major source of news because the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has embarked on a campaign to destroy the temples and art of the pre-Islamic city. For many people throughout the world, ISIS's campaign was the first time they heard about the city, but Palmyra's importance and history can be traced back to well before the Roman Empire. In fact, Palmyra was unique among the many important cities of the ancient world because, like Carthage before it, it was a city that was also a culture. Palmyrene culture, from the arts to religion, borrowed from numerous other peoples throughout the ancient world to create a culture that was uniquely "Palmyrene". Palmyra became a city like no other, and its culture shined bright for several centuries before it was finally extinguished. The people of Palmyra truly developed a vibrant culture that eventually placed the city among some of the greatest of the ancient world.

Not what it seems
This is not really a book, more like a long pamphlet, computer generated. The only color and the only good photograph is on the cover. The type is about a third the size of a normal book, the photographs are all bad reproductions in black and white, grainy and very unsatisfying to look at. I felt that I could do much better going on line to find information. When I read a book, I like to enjoy the process. This one is hard to look at. Just wonder if the other reviewers are friends of the people who publish this or have even looked at it.
but sad, to see the pictures of all the historical ...
An excellant introuction to the ancient city of Palmyhra (Syria). It's interesting, but sad, to see the pictures of all the historical monuments which have been destroyed by ISIS.
Altars wonderful news.
