Summary: If I could only have one book on Ancient Egypt...
Comment: David Silverman, author of several fine books as well as Curator of the Egyptian Collection at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, has made a major contribution to the literature in this comprehensive, engagingly written and well-illustrated volume. I have to admit a bias, since I studied hieroglyphics in one of his classes at the University of Chicago a while ago. His enthusiasm and knowledge shine forth in this mature work, which draws on the talents of the best people in the field today. I would give this book a ten-star rating!

Summary: Not good for the classroom
Comment: Given the previous high reviews of this book I was hoping that this might replace Grimal's and a cultural atlas in a college history course on Egypt. Sadly it cannot. The essays will interesting and focused still are too general in some areas such as women and religion where it seems that there is no change over time in Egypt. That simply isn't true. In other sections, change is suggested but it isn't explained. Overall too little time is spent on each subject to justify its separation from the whole. A good solid introduction to the basic chronology and traditional history is covered in only 20 pages! I was so disappointed in the book that I'm returning it for a refund. I have specific and general books on Egypt already and this adds nothing to them. On the bright side, if you like a very general book then you should like this one because it is organized by topic and has very nice images and decent maps (not as good as others I've seen however).
