A spectacular and informative new guide to the fascinating story of Ancient Egypt in a revised paperback edition
A superb collection of specially commissioned photographs presents a detailed look at life in Ancient Egypt - from the pharaoh and his courtiers, through the mystical rites of the priests, to the world of the workers in the fields.
Featuring stunning items from the tomb of Tutankhamun and jewellery from the royal palaces, the book shows how Egyptian nobles lived. We learn how the Egyptians prepared for the afterlife, and see their mummies. The book also looks at the lives, rituals, and hieroglyphic writing of the priests and scribes, and photographs of food, clothes, weapons, and even toys reveal how ordinary Egyptians lived.
Produced in association with the British Museum, London, Ancient Egypt is a unique and compelling introduction to a remarkable civilization.

Dictionary of Native American Mythology
Для спецов и любознательных.
This dictionary entices readers to explore the complex fabric of North American Indian tales and ritual. While numerous other references treat Native American mythology, none offers the coverage found in this volume. Works such as Yves Bonnefoy's Mythologies (Univ. of Chicago Pr., 1991) and the New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (Paul Hamlyn, 1968) focus primarily on classical, European, and Asian myths, with minimal coverage of Native American cultures. This new dictionary is well researched, drawing from scholarly sources such as the Journal of American Folklore and the American Anthropologist. Entries appear as either descriptive terms or in the anglicized form of Native American words, followed by tribal and/or cultural identifiers. Each entry includes generous cross references and bibliographic citations. An excellent tribal index refers readers to both main entries and to the work's extensive bibliography, which invites readers to pursue the research further in scholarly journals and monographs.
