Publisher Description

Professor of Egyptology and director of the Yale Egyptological Institute John C. Darnell delves into the history of Ancient Egypt from the Predynastic Period through the end of the New Kingdom. In these lectures, Professor Darnell shows that, despite common perceptions, Pharaonic Egyptian civilization existed within a multicultural society subject to disparate geological environments-and that its strength lay in the balancing of contrasting groups and goals.

"I really liked this series before, but having had a recent trip to Historic Savannah it was even more relate-able. I loved being able to recognize and visualize the actual locations! We unknowingly ate at Huey's (as recommended by our hotel). I have no idea why I didn't remember that it had such a major role in the series. I like that the characters are developing well, but not too quickly. It was frustrating at first, but I enjoy it now. All too often, author ruin characters by having them rush into things - relationships, new careers, etc."

    " I really liked the first book in this series. The second was OK, left a lot unanswered, but I was hoping for more from book 3. I'd give this one 2-1/2 stars if I could do 1/2 stars. Still a decent read, but I'm having trouble rooting for the main character now, and that's a big problem. "

    " I chose to give this one star as I stopped 20 pages from the end of the book because it took such a wierd turn, I could read no further. Now I am taking a break from the series but truly doubt I will read another one as I was so disappointed in the last pages of this one. "

    " This was not my favorite of the series. There did not seem to be as much "ghost" action in this one. I'll keep reading, though, because they are light, little cozies. "

    " This has become one of my favorite series. I love the characters. They're colorful and humorous. The books take place in Savannah, one of my favorite places every and they're just a little different - kind of off center - in a good way! I already have the next in the series on hold at the library. "

    " I would have given the book 3 stars if it hadn't been for the paranormal parts. I decided to read the book because the author writes another series under the name of Claudia Bishop that I enjoy reading. If paranormal doesn't creep you out, then consider this book a 3 star book. "
