Guillermo Algaze's Booklist
Anthropology Professor Guillermo Algaze was one of 24
winners of this year’s MacArthur
Foundation “genius awards”. He received
it for his archaeological work in Iraq, Syria and Turkey,

of the world’s first cities.” We asked him
to give us an insight into his extra- curricular reading.
