'This is a lovely book, providing an introduction to ancient Egypt and the practice of Egyptology. … All information is handled in a straightforward, friendly manner, and is easy to read. The book is also peppered with some fabulous colour photographs, illustrations, line drawings and plans where appropriate. There are also numerous text boxes throughout each chapter, all within a beautiful layout.' www.heritage-key.com, "The great discoveries, the adventures of travelers, the mysteries of the pharaohs, the dance of the mummies, and the fragrances of life along the Nile - ancient Egypt comes to life in the pages of this excellent book!" Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General, Supreme Council of Antiquities, Egypt, "An ideal introduction to the myriad strands that make up the world of the ancient Egyptians--I recommend it highly and look forward to using it for my students." Aidan Dodson, University of Bristol, "This book provides an interesting as well as comprehensive read from which even the expert may benefit. It is therefore highly recommended as a starting point for the uninitiated." --BMCR, 'How refreshing it is to find a new general introduction to ancient Egypt written by a well known and respected Egyptologist! … I am often asked for recommended reading for anyone new to ancient Egypt and, until the publication of this book at least, I have often struggled to make sensible suggestions, for rarely does one book fit the bill. This book is the answer to that quandary and I am sure that it will become the 'must-read' book for anyone beginning to study the subject, or who wants to find a really good overview in one volume.'
