A Dictionary of Egyptian civilization/
:
"Three thousand five hundred years of Egyptian history are covered in this book. It starts with the prehistoric tribes and ends with the Roman occupation. ... This dictionary is only a dictionary in the sense that the 420 articles are in alphabetical order. Each article is a considered essay in its subject, not a catalogue of facts. Every aspect of Egyptian civilization is covered--politics, art religion, daily life, science and so on. A special feature is the information given about the flora and fauna of Egypt, and their influence on religion and life."
