The book examines the cultural histories of cities including Petra, Baalbek, Palmyra, Dura-Europos, and Hatra together for the first time, capturing the intricate web of influence that emerged in the Ancient Middle East through the exchange of goods and ideas across the region. Works illustrated and discussed include statues, coins, reliefs, architectural elements and friezes, painted tiles and wall fragments, jewelry, textiles, and more. The World Between Empires is the definitive book on this subject, contextualizing the significance of these works on a local and global scale, including a thoughtful discussion of recent cultural heritage destruction and preservation efforts in the region, particularly in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and the role of museums.\n\nPublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\n(03\/11\/19–06\/23\/19)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1588396835\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1588396835.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fowlkes-Childs, Blair|Seymour, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
