Ebook Atlas of Ancient Egypt An Equinox Book John Baines Jaromir Malek 9780705406468 Books

"The first part of the book introduces a comprehensive, condensed yet accurate summary of Ancient Egyptian history. The second part presents archaeological details and plans of the main cities of Upper and Lower Egypt, as well as Nubia. The last part offers a description of Ancient Egyptian society, with its scribes, its army, its religion, and its gods. The authors have also included a list of kings and pharaohs. Readers will see how the pyramids were hypothetically built through reconstructions and diagrams. Excellent maps, a glossary and a bibliography are to be found at the end of this wonderfully illustrated book. Highly recommended, it makes a good reference for all."

Atlas of Ancient Egypt An Equinox Book John Baines Jaromir Malek 9780705406468 Books Reviews

• This is mostly text and photographs. Maps, few and far between, are mostly of two colors, almost monochrome, with quite small text. What is it about academics that they are so parsimonious regarding maps in a book called an atlas ? Text wise, along with those photographs, this book appears to cover just about everything (at least in an overview) in an interesting way, and should perhaps get 5 stars for that, but it's certainly nothing special in regard to its maps.
• This is a beautiful book and very thorough. It is tough reading, though. We bought it in preparation for our trip to Egypt then decided to go to see the Egyptian collection at the Met. After 4 hours in the collection I came home and the book was much easier to navigate. I think the book will be even more special after we come home from our trip.
• Very comprehensive and informative. Colored photos, maps and history lines brought Egypt to life.
• I bought this book as a supplement to a course on the History of Egypt from the Learning Company (the Great Courses series) and found it just what I wanted. I was particularly interested in the maps including one showing all of the sites of pyramids throughout Egypt. Anyone who has visited or is going to visit (or just dreaming of visiting) Egypt will find this a marvelous resource.
• Great formation and a good selection of images/graphics.
• Glad I found this atlas again. Used to own it. Very informative for all ages.

• You can't study history without maps, so you always need an atlas of an area. This one's text, though, is an excellent beginner to intermediate level history, so with the superb maps you may not need another reference book on the subject. Yet, even if you've been reading about ancient Egypt for years you may find some new nuggets here, like the Egyptian rather than Greco-Roman names of the cities, the latest list of pharaohs (Hatshepshut was not the only ruling queen!), articles on the pantheons of different areas, plans of cities and temples -- all kinds of juicy stuff. If you haven't got it, and you're interested, take it home!
