Welcome Page

Welcome to my blog!

I'm an amateur historian who is building an alternative career of a non-fiction writer.

I wrote a history book "Dawn and Sunset" about the emergence, bloom, and demise of the early Mesopotamian civilization (IV-III millennia BCE). You can view it on my websibe http://www.michaelbaizerman.com/ 

I am currently writing a second manuscript with the working title "The Enchanting Encounter with the East" which focuses on the contacts between West and East throughout the Middle Ages, especially the Late Middle Ages, xiii-xiv centuries.
