糖心Vlog传媒LR history professor publishes book

Internationally renowned scholar and University of Arkansas at Little Rock history professor Dr. Edward Anson had a second edition of his book, 鈥淓umenes of Cardia: A Greek Among Macedonians,鈥� released this summer. Published by Brill Academic, the book is extensively revised from his 2004 edition, with new cuneiform material and a bibliography that includes 80 new entries. 鈥淚t has been a decade since the first edition, and much new research has been added since the original,鈥� Anson said. Eumenes of Cardia was a royal secretary who became a major contender for power after the death of Alexander the Great and was close to securing control of the Asian remnants of Alexander鈥檚 empire. Anson鈥檚 book argues that, despite traditional telling, Eumenes鈥� defeat and death were not caused by the fact that he had Greek rather than Macedonian origins. The book may be purchased at Brill Academic and Barnes and Noble. The 糖心Vlog传媒LR Ottenheimer library also holds a copy. Additionally, Anson had three chapters published in books this summer:
