Editorial Reviews

Gr 5-10-This book offers chronologically arranged chapters, each of which addresses an important topic in ancient Egyptian culture or history. Geography, religion, the intersection of medicine and magic, fashion and clothing, the arts, and other subjects are explored. Narmer, Hatshepsut, Tutankhamen, Ramesses II, and Cleopatra are among the prominent personalities profiled. The volume is distinguished by its profuse quotations from ancient monuments and ancient authors. Another plus is its broad scope, reaching from the earliest pre-pyramid dynasties through to the conquest of Egypt by Rome. The mostly color photographs are plentiful and, in all but a few cases, sharp. They are supplemented with newly created maps featuring clean lines but relatively few labeled locations. The inviting and informal narrative tone, sometimes employing the second person, seems occasionally too cute for its own good, though most readers are likely to enjoy it. Complexities of archaeology and the unraveling and reassembling of information are, to be sure, simplified, but there is a lengthy list of suggested titles for students who want to know more. The self-contained nature of the chapters also makes this an accessible resource for reports. Overall, this is a fine replacement for older materials.-Coop Renner, Hillside Elementary, El Paso, TX Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
