"This work provides an easy-to-follow reference for studying Egyptian scribal styles. While we have no clear evidence that ancient Egyptians themselves organized or taught writing in this way, this fresh new system assists modern scholars and is rooted in a more organic approach to the rules of calligraphy than existing methods. It allows for simple, consistent, and orderly comparisons of single signs, ligatures, and group writings."

"This volume introduces a new approach to tackling sex and human relationships in the archaeological record. Cultures, in all societies, shape sexual expressions and desires. Sex is provided, while gender is acquired, imposed, or selected depending on the cultural constraints that prevail in a given culture. Our roles in any society are labeled and placed. This changes through our life, from birth to old age, and even in death. This book studies in detail the material culture record of many ancient societies—Yoruba, Natufian, Egyptian, South Asian and Chinese—to see how society shapes everyone's role in it and how that is preserved in the archaeological record."

"This is the ultimate book for the study of Pontius Pilate's coins. For Christians, the name Pontius Pilate is known for one reason. He has the dubious distinction of being connected with statements of faith; in the Apostles' or Nicene Creed. For Jews, Pilate was the official emblem of their foreign oppressor and this crucifixion was no different than many others the Romans performed during the subjugation of their land. The authors have gathered all available information concerning the man, his time, and his coins. In the final analysis, it is the coins themselves, except for one fragmentary inscription, that provide the most tangible evidence of his period in history. Another outstanding aspect in this research is the contribution it provides to ongoing controversy over proposed Pontius Pilate coins over the eyes of the Turin shroud. Some general awareness of these Pilate coins has developed in light of ongoing debates over the alleged coin images on the Turin shroud, but that debate has confused and even hampered close examination of the coins themselves. Jean-Phillipe Fontanille and Sheldon Lee Gosline blend their expertise into a remarkably detailed study. In the words of David Hendin, Fellow of the American Numismatic Society, “it is the first time a person has gathered, from both primary and secondary sources, all the relevant information, historic, religious, and numismatic information about Pontius Pilate.”"

Manetho: A Study in Egyptian Chronology : How Ancient Scribes Garbled an Accurate Chronology of Dynastic Egypt (Marco Polo Monographs, 8)

"Delving into the various chronology issues that divide Egyptologists, this study documents scholarship relating to the third-century B.C. Egyptian priest Manetho. Explored is Manetho's account of his country’s history, which contained a wealth of information about ancient Egypt with chronological record of all Egyptian kings from the beginning of the first dynasty to the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. No copy of Manetho’s original manuscript has been found. This book examines three ancient texts—one from the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, another from the third-century Christian chronographer Africanus, and another from the fourth-century Christian historian Eusebius—that claim to be based on Manetho’s history. The ways in which these texts are frequently and substantially inconsistent and at odds with the known chronological record for ancient Egypt are detailed. Covering specific dynasties and providing more general overviews, this book documents the history of and the problems facing Egyptian chronological study."

"A young girl's tribulations at home and school are at the center of this fantastical tale. At first glance, Jen's troubles are typical of any eighth grader: teacher trouble, a know-it-all younger brother, and a gloomy conviction that her family is nothing like those of her friends. But her secret is deeper than anyone can imagine. Jen and her brother Cody are being raised by a group of super-intelligent animals who watch over them and teach them things no other humans know. When Jen's English teacher refuses to accept her unusual family story as the truth, Jen confides in her best friend Sara about the crisis brewing at Animalville. The inhabitants of earth are threatened by an alien invasion, and only cooperation among all the sentient creatures on the planet can prevent it. Themes of animal rights, ecology, and space exploration are woven into this suspenseful story of Jen's race against time to save the world from disaster."
