They are all gone now, along with countless houses, parks, bridges, theaters, sports stadiums, courthouses, and

Ancient Egypt may have been, to paraphrase Herodotus, "the gift of the Nile," but Egypt’s civilization was no less the product of her god incarnate, the pharaoh. These twin themes--the overwhelming importance of the annual inundation of the Nile and the rise and fall over three thousand years of the power of the divine king--provide the unifying thread running through the fourth edition of this classic text. The late Cyril Aldred was Keeper of the Department of Art and Archaeology at the Royal Museum of Scotland, and served as Associate Curator of the Department of Egyptian Art at the Me

In Bible Places, H. B. Tristram aimed to provide a brief yet very informative description of every Holy Land site mentioned in the Bible. Tristram intended this book for a popular audience, especially "such as have neither time nor opportunity to refer to larger treatises on the geography of Palestine." Relying on the extensive research of the Palestinian Exploration Fund, Tristram’s work afforded many a new and vividly descriptive perspective on the Holy Land and a new awareness of the geographical and topographical accuracy of the Bible.
