{"product_id":"saving-the-pyramids-peter-james-9781786832504","title":"Saving the Pyramids: Twenty First Century Engineering and Egypt's Ancient Monuments","description":"Peter James has spent his career strengthening and restoring historically significant structures all around the world, from Windsor Castle to the parliament buildings in Canada. In \u003ci\u003eSaving the Pyramids\u003c\/i\u003e, James brings his unique perspective to the structural engineering of ancient Egypt. After fourteen years working on the historic buildings and temples of Egypt--most recently on the world's oldest pyramid--he now presents some of the more common theories surrounding the \"collapsing\" pyramid. He also offers innovative projections on the construction of the pyramids and the restoration of some of Cairo's most monumental structures from the brink of ruin. In embracing modern theories in a bid to preserve the past, James decodes the historic construction of the pyramids from a builder's perspective and provides a new outlook on long-held assumptions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178683250X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786832504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019","brand":"Peter James","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491794350335,"sku":"9781786832504","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fda29e7-53cc-477a-91d6-27d7688d6048.jpg?v=1699453271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saving-the-pyramids-peter-james-9781786832504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
