The Modern World, Volume 4: Civilizations of the Middle East and Southwest AsiaThe history of the modern Middle East and Southwest Asia goes back thousands of years. Indeed, the region was a center of civilization in prehistory and one of the areas in which agriculture originated and the world’s first cities were built. Yet the region faces a host of contentious issues—political, social, religious, and economic.
This region has been a center of human settlement for thousands of years. It was the site of the earliest urban centers, the invention and first use of the wheel, and the development of the first alphabet, number systems, lunar and solar calendars, and many more innovations.

Beyong the Medieval Village - The Diversification of Landscape Character in Southern
The varied character of Britain's countryside and towns provides communities with a strong sense of local identity.
