Seller's Description:
Bruce Strachan. New in New jacket. Book CONDITION: NEW 2008 Henry Holt large hard cover (pictorial boards) & DJ, first printing. Wonderful, historically accurate, 3-dimension clay & wood color illustrations. CONTENT: More a showcase for Strachan's art than a primer for students of ancient Egypt, this survey pairs brief explanatory comments with photos of 3-D clay and wood tableaux illuminated by dim, filtered light. After an opening that is addressed to adults, the present-tense text covers one topic per spread, from "The Nile River" through "Pyramids, " "Mummification, " and related spreads introducing Hatshepsut, Ramses the Great, and King Tut's tomb. The spread labeled "Book of the Dead" neither mentions nor depicts said book, presenting instead a gallery of gods. Though the toylike, generally bare-chested figures of humans and gods are rendered with a fair degree of realism in credible settings, the pyramids at Giza are seen in a distant, aerial view that doesn't capture their scale, and the nearby Sphinx sports an oddly new-looking head atop a crumbling body. [Actually, this is a great intro for younger kids to the ancient Egyptian civilization. ] 1 copy.
