Extractions: FAS Courses of Instruction Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Professor William E. Granara, Director of Undergraduate Studies The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations introduces students to the peoples, languages, cultures, and societies of the Near and Middle East. Beyond the development of skills in one (or more) of the languages of the region and participation in the Department's one-semester sophomore tutorial, a wide variety of directions of study is available to concentrators. The concentration is intended to provide a solid grounding in the student's area of focus and to offer an in-depth look at the ways in which modern scholars seek to understand the languages and cultures that have come from this region and that have been so influential throughout the world. One of the strengths of the concentration in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations is the individual attention each student receives and the flexibility to develop a program of study within the broader arena of the Near East that reflects her or his specific interests. Depending, then, on these interests and the availability of faculty and other resources, students may elect to follow a direction such as Modern Middle Eastern Studies, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, Biblical Studies, Arabic, Iranian Studies, Turkish Studies, or Near Eastern Archaeology. This list gives only a sample of the possibilities. Whatever direction a student chooses, the choice will be made in consultation with an appropriate faculty member from Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations or an affiliated department who will then serve as the student's mentor throughout her or his work, helping to arrange a coherent curriculum of courses in accordance with the guidelines below.

http://www.largeprintreviews.com/HIRromeeast.html

Extractions: Just as the Western world has long had a fascination with Roman civilization, so to did Rome have her own object of fascination. In this case, Rome was enamored with the Near East. Rome was enthralled with everything Eastern, including the mythology, the culture, and the wealth of the Eastern civilizations. In Rome in the East: The Transformation of an Empire , Warwick Ball, a renowned Near Eastern Archaeologist, explores the impact that the East had on Rome, and on European society as a whole. Ball also examines why Rome was so obsessed with the East. Furthermore, he shows how this obsession affected Rome's political and military designs - and the course of history. Most of our knowledge of the ancient Near East has been gained from western, classical writers. In this book Ball has attempted to present the history of the Near East from an eastern perspective. Ball's research is based almost entirely on the material remains from this period, rather than upon literary sources. Instead of limiting the scope of this study, concentrating primarily upon material remains enabled Ball to present a much more accurate picture of what life was like in this region than would otherwise have been possible. In addition, Ball used this material information, in combination with the known historical record, to effectively establish that the Near East had a far greater influence upon Rome than the Roman Empire had upon the Near East.
