Hardback. Condition: Fair. An eye-opening, edifying, and endlessly entertaining tour through an astonishing bygone world--the acclaimed classic history of ancient Egypt, now newly revised and updated Writing as Elizabeth Peters, world-renowned Egyptologist Barbara Mertz is the author of the phenomenally popular New York Times bestselling mystery series featuring archaeologist Amelia Peabody. In Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs, Dr. Mertz explores the breathtaking reality behind her fiction by casting a dazzling light on a remarkable civilization that, even after thousands of years, still stirs the human imagination and inspires awe with its marvelous mysteries and amazing accomplishments. A fascinating chronicle of an extraordinary epoch--from the first Stone Age settlements through the reign of Cleopatra and the Roman invasions--Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs brings ancient Egypt to life as never before. Lavishly illustrated with pictures, maps, photographs, and charts, it offers tantalizing glimpses into Egyptian society and everyday life; amazing stories of the pharaohs and the rise and fall of great dynasties; religion and culture; folklore and fairy tales; stories of the explorers, scientists, and unmitigated scoundrels who sought to unravel or exploit the ageless mysteries; and breathtaking insights into the magnificent architectural wonders that rose up from the desert sands. Revised and updated to include the results of the most recent historical research and archaeological finds, Dr. Mertz's book is unhampered by stuffy prose and dry academic formality. Instead, it is a vibrant, colorful, and fun excursion for anyone who's ever fantasized about exploring the Valley of the Kings, viewing up close the treasures of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, or sailing down the Nile on Cleopatra's royal barge.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Escape to the vibrant landscapes of a remote rural village in West Africa's Ivory Coast, where the mystical g nies intertwine with everyday life. In this vividly portrayed village, modern amenities are scarce, and survival depends on gathering wood, fetching water from wells, and tending to fields with nothing more than a trusty machete. Imagine mothers, and babies strapped to their backs, toiling under the sweltering sun, as they strive to nourish their families and overcome the challenges that arise. Amidst this enchanting yet demanding environment, join me on an extraordinary life-altering journey. At 56, after raising two sons as a divorced mother, caring for my loving, larger-than-life parents, and leaving behind a comfortable job at Goldman Sachs in Chicago, I answered the Peace Corps call to serve in this humble village. For 17 months, I embraced the rhythm of a different land, until political turbulence forced our evacuation in the midst of an attempted coup. Beneath the overarching ambition of fulfilling the dream of the village Chief, I delve into the intricate tapestry of this unique place while striving to adapt to the climate and appreciate the unfamiliar local cuisine despite my rebellious stomach. I learn to understand the intricacies of its colorful culture and the remarkable characters that inhabit it and witness firsthand the clash of tradition and progress as I embark on a quest to bring desired healthcare to the village. This captivating memoir invites you to immerse yourself in a world where personal transformation, determination in the face of betrayal, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose intertwine with the rhythm of a community on the edge of change.…
