Ancient Egypt: The Definitive Illustrated History (DK Classic History)
Discover the intimate details of life under the pharaohs–and their extraordinary legacy–in this fascinating e-guide to Egypt’s ancient civilization.
Encompassing 3,000 years and 31 Egyptian dynasties, from the time of Narmer to Cleopatra, this fresh appraisal of ancient treasures helps you navigate the political intrigues and cultural achievements of the Ancient Egyptians, from the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza to the Great Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria.
You’ll meet pharaohs such as King Tutankhamun–whose mummified remains and lavish grave goods reveal so much about the society and its beliefs–as well as influential women such as Hatshepsut and Nefertiti, and warriors including Alexander the Great. Lavish photographs reveal the exquisite craftsmanship of their scribes, artists, and metalworkers, and the tomb paintings and relief carvings that captured the everyday life of farmers, artisans, soldiers, and traders in exquisite detail. Exclusive CGI reconstructions use the latest scientific information to recreate the finest tombs, temples, and pyramids.
Beautifully illustrated, and unparalleled in scope, Ancient Egypt is the perfect ebook for anyone with an interest in ancient civilizations and Egyptology.

The Unusual Penguin
The Unusual Penguin, is a sweet smart narrative for every child and adult who has felt different or strange or who just simply is not like the other people around them.
Inspired by the authors’ own journey as an “Unusual Penguin” and by the journey she watched her son embark on as early as three years old, this story captures the pain of being misjudged, the sorrow that can arise out of being atypical and the transcendent joy that can be found when you discover who you truly are and learn to value yourself accordingly.
