This book is an easy 4.5 stars! This is an excellent book for someone serious about learning the Egyptian language through hieroglyphics. It is laid out like one large text book. By that, it has a lesson and then it has exercises where you are transliterating and translating hieroglyphics as well as taking English sentences and turning them into hieroglyphic. It is very thorough and no small... more

| 2. New Flowering: 1000 Years of Botanical Art | 
|
By: Shirley Sherwood
Publisher: Ashmolean Museum
October 11, 2006
Being a big fan of Shirley Sherwood's previous publications Contemporary Botanical Artists (1996) and A Passion for Plants (2001), I have been eagerly awaiting any further publications from this collector. I immediately purchased A New Flowering - 1000 years of Botanical Art when it was released in late 2005, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed. Rather than a whole new collection of wondrous... more

| 8. Finger Rings: Ancient to Modern (Ashmolean Handbooks) | 
|
By: Diana Scarisbrick
Publisher: Ashmolean Museum
July 26, 2006
Diana Scarisbrick & Martin Henig's book turned out to be a complete disappointment to me. I do not own any other books of either author but if this is any indication of what to expect from them on the subject of finger rings then I won't be buying any more of their books. I am a novice collector of ancient rings (mostly roman) and was hoping to find a brief history of roman rings and their symbolism... more
