Lower corners bumped. Minor shelfwear . ; Sometime in the early fourth century BC, an unknown Egyptian master carved an exquisite portrait in dark-green stone. The statue that included this head of a priest, likely a citizen of ancient Memphis, may have been damaged when the Persians conquered Egypt in 343 BC, before it was buried in a temple complex. Its adventures were not over: after almost two millennia, the head was excavated by Auguste Mariette, a founding figure in French archaeology. Sent to France as part of a collection assembled for the inimitable Bonaparte prince known as Plon-Plon, it found a home in his faux Pompeian palace. After disappearing again, it resurfaced in the collection of American aesthete Edward Perry Warren, who donated it to the MFA, Boston. Along the way, this compelling, mysterious sculpture has reflected the evolving understanding of Egyptian art. ; 8.4 X 6.1 X 0.9 inches; 208 pages

Narrating the development and disappearance of the world's first war machine, this book reminds readers that much of the power of ancient empires was two-wheeled and horse-driven. Harnessed to other historians' broad-spectrum research on the causes of the end of the Bronze Age, Cotterell argues that, much like the later introduction of the stirrup, chariot technology dramatically recast battlefield strategy across the ancient world. Egyptians employed chariots as all-purpose fighting machines, while Roman chariots were more ceremonial, and Indian troops used theirs as archery platforms; Chinese engineers developed more efficient harnesses, permitting heavier cars. The author's comparative approach broadens the appeal of what would otherwise seem a narrow topic, but this account nevertheless behaves as a detailed military history. Particularly interesting for such scholarship, the author also discusses the chariot as a vehicle for modern popular culture; it aims to dispel the notion that chariots were simply horse-pulled tanks.

Dustjacket has wear but no tears. ; This is the story of the technical, financial and economic colonisation of Egypt by Western Europe between Napoleon's invasion in 1798 and the British occupation in 1882. During this period a country which remained, formally, a province of the Ottoman Empire enjoying a considerable measure of autonomy, in fact fell almost entirely under the control of European foreigners. John Marlowe begins by describing how the French invasion opened up Egypt to Western influences, and how British involvement derived principally from anxiety over communications with India. He goes on to demonstrate how the economic and financial invasion of Egypt which started after the defeat and diminution of Mohamed Ali in 1840 was facilitated by the extraterritorial privileges and immunities conferred on Europeans by the Capitulations; and how this invasion was accelerated and complicated by rivalry and suspicion between the Powers, and was made lethal to Egypt by the folly of her rulers. Under Mohamet Said (1854-63) and Ismail (1853 until his deposition in 1879) the key word in Egyptian affairs was 'loan'. A defenceless country which offered rich prizes to European investors and adventurers was steered into bankruptcy by men governing in a despotic tradition who regarded the country's wealth as their own and whose only remedy for debt was to borrow more. ; 280 pages
