The Old Kingdom was an era of prosperity, stability, and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor many people, the pyramids and tombs, stelae and statues of the Old Kingdom epitomize Egyptian civilization, and most books on Egypt are based on description of these monuments. Jaromir Malek and Werner Forman's approach is fundamentally different, however. In this book they present a complete picture of ancient Egyptian society, placing the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom in the context of climate and geography, art and industry, politics and economy --examining all the factors that shaped daily life. Malek shows, in fascinating detail, that every aspect of Egyptian life was bound up with religion and that the Egyptians lived, both literally and metaphorically, \"in the shadow of the pyramids.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWerner Forman's 120 stunning color photographs of the monuments, works of art, and landscapes of the Old Kingdom bring to life the world of ancient Egypt. Incorporating the latest scholarship, an original approach to the subject, and Forman's exceptional illustrations, \u003cem\u003eIn the Shadow of the Pyramids\u003c\/em\u003e is a major addition to the literature on ancient Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Werner Forman, Jaromir Malek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806120274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806120270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 8.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1986","brand":"Werner Forman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926246523135,"sku":"9780806120270","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e49908cb-a2d2-474c-896a-acdb71b016b4.jpg?v=1681082012","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-shadow-of-the-werner-forman-9780806120270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
