Broadway Books, 2008. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. B&W drawings & art repros throughout. Loaded.. CONDITION: NEW 2008 Broadway Books trade paperback, first edition, first printing. Beautiful book: B&W drawings & art reproductions throughout; decorated end pages; deckle edges; and chapter decorations. CONTENT: Illicit love, madness, betrayal--it isn't always good to be the queen Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, and Mary, Queen of Scots. What did they have in common? For a while they were crowned in gold, cosseted in silk, and flattered by courtiers. But in the end, they spent long nights in dark prison towers and were marched to the scaffold where they surrendered their heads to the executioner. And they are hardly alone in their undignified demises. Throughout history, royal women have had a distressing way of meeting bad ends--dying of starvation, being burned at the stake, or expiring in childbirth while trying desperately to produce an heir. They always had to…

University of Texas Press, 1997. 1st American Edition 34th printing. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket Issued. B&W era photos; B&W maps; artifact photos. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1997 University of Texas paperback, first American edition, 3rd printing. Problems: 2-3 tiny impression marks to front cover at corner and . . . THIS: I am told that at one time UTP designated their remainder books as "damaged" and that's what is stamped on the bottom edges of the book. It is not, however, damaged in any way. Odd, eh? B&W era photos, art reproductions, and maps throughout. CONTENT: The rich panorama of ancient Egyptian mythology has survived through tomb paintings, temple inscriptions, and papyri. This account begins with the creation legends of Heliopolis, Memphis, and Hermopolis and illustrates the intellectual struggles of the Egyptians to explain the beginning of the world. The myths that follow range from stories about the gods-the murder of Osiris and vengeance of Horus, Isis and…

Cosimo Classics, 2005. Facsimile Edition Printing Unknown. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket Issued. No illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2005 Cosimo Classics History trade paperback, looks like a facsimile edition/reprint, no printing given. Problem - some how, some way there is a "pink" (or pale red) spot on the middle of the cover fore edge and nowhere else. Probably an accidental swipe with a marker. That's it - that's all that's wrong with this book. CONTENT: This education of the early Romans produced a nation of warriors and loyal citizens, but it inevitably tended to make them calculating, selfish, overbearing, cruel, and rapacious. They never possessed either lofty ideals or enthusiasm. Their training was best adapted to a small state, and became unsatisfactory when they had spread over the entire peninsula. -from "Rome and the Roman World" This 1909 classic of educational history surveys the evolution of teaching from humanity's primitive roots through the organization of…

HarperCollins, 2000. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. B&W photo section. CONDITION: NEW 2000 HarperCollins hard cover & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, first printing. B&W photo section. Fascinating study of politics and archaeology. CONTENT: When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his troops and scientists were astonished to discover ancient temples, tombs, and statues, all covered with strange markings-the last remnants of a language lost in time. After the Rosetta Stone was uncovered, hope was raised that the mystery of this ancient writing could be solved. Egyptomania spread throughout Europe, and the quest to decipher the hieroglyphs began in earnest, for it was understood that fame and fortune awaited the scholar who succeeded. In rural France, Jean-Francois Champollion, the brilliant son of an impoverished bookseller, was obsessed with breaking the code of the ancient Egyptians texts. At sixteen years of age he decided that he would dedicate his life to the decipherment…

TOR/Forge, 2021. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. Stephen Youll jacket art; Michael Johnston B&W map. CONDITION: What makes this book "as new" - tiny black remainder dot top edges. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2021 Tor/Forge hardcover (gold boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Beautiful dust jacket art by Stephen Youll. B&W map by Michael Johnston. CONTENT: "Soleri is bloody and utterly epic. A huge saga in a rich and deeply original world." "Prepare to be ensnared in a web of ruthless politics and unbridled ambition, where even the authority of the emperor may be based on an ancient deception. Johnston builds an immersive world with elements of Egyptian and Roman history, myth, and religion. This story seethes with twists and turns, betrayals and secrets, and will keep you guessing until the very last page." Solus celebrates the Opening of the Mundus, a two-day holiday for the dead, but the city of the Soleri is hardly in need of diversion. A legion of…
