Ancient Egypt: A Photographic History di Nigel Fletcher-Jones
Brief overview of ancient Egyptian civilization, with the emphasis of course on the visual aspect, through lots of photos. Not only the large monuments, but also small sculptures, for example, are shown. The texts are certainly up-to-date, but the emphasis is mainly on the successive pharaohs and dynasties. This is sufficient as a first introduction.
Treasures of Ancient Egypt by Nigel Fletcher-Jones is a gorgeous book detailing the archaeology of a most fascinating culture. Through over 150 stunning photographs, and engaging prose, some of the most well-known (and some not so well-known) aspects of ancient Egypt are explored. From the pyramids, to the grave goods of Tutankhamun, to delicate papyri etched with hieroglyphs, these photos span the breadth of the Egyptian dominance. It should be noted that this is primarily an art book rather than an archaeological text, but it's still worth adding as a supplement to an archaeological library. It's also the perfect coffee table conversation piece.
