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. ...

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."
