The author portrays Akhenaten more as an atheist than a monotheist. A striking portrait is an outline of this fascinating 'worshiper of the sun', who is also one of the best known pharaohs. A good overview is provided of the Akhenaten Temple Project. Some of the author's comments are amusing which makes the book more enjoyable especially through the 'dry' moments. The book contains a short glossary, suggested readings, and many black and white illustrations and drawings. It is recommended for the open-minded lay person.
When the 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, they knew that they were making history. When it was read aloud outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a new nation was founded. Independence Hallcolorfully illustrates the many historical acts that took place within the red brick walls of this landmark building. Informative sidebars, a timeline of events, a bibliography for further reference, and a glossary of unfamiliar terms aid young readers as they explore the establishment of the United States of America.
The present Etymological Glossary of Old Welsh is intended to offer an alphabetically arranged list of words which are found in the manuscripts transcribed before the beginning of the Middle Welsh period, and to provide them with the most important published references. Much work has been done both in the field of Old Welsh studies and Celtic lexicography since the puhlication of J. Loth's Vocabulaire vieux-bretolt in 1884 which comprised the then known data of all the early neo-Brittonic languages. Quite a few Old Welsh texts have heen edited anew; more Old Welsh fragments have been found.
