With its long history and far-reaching influence, Sumerian civilization occupies a foundational place in human history. Professor Gong Yushu, one of China's supreme Sumerian studies experts, contributes nearly 40 years of his research into this book – the first monograph in the field written by a Chinese scholar. Drawing directly on original cuneiform sources that he is able to decipher firsthand, Gong introduces and translates several Sumerian texts for the first time, giving the book exceptional academic, disciplinary-historical, and documentary value.
