Ancient Egypt: The Origins
Bok av Douglas J. Brewer
this is a most welcome book, which will fill a gap in the study of early Egypt...The authorhas sprinkled his narrative with anecdotes from his own archaeological expeditions make the text lively and entertaining, elevating his book from mere description to a highly personal and approachable account. This is a skillful survey which will benefit many different kinds of readers. I highly recommend it.
