Summary: Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt
Review: Accessible three ways: through the index, through keywords in boldface type, or through alphabetic browsing, it also is organized into "trails" one can follow to discover information about a particular topic, e.g. work or everyday life. Uneven coverage, for example, under the entry for Nile, all that is written is "the main river of Egypt". However, the entry for Hieroglyphs and writing is 2 pages long. Notwithstanding, there is still much information of value, especially regarding Egyptian gods. Author lectures at Oxford University.
