Imagine, then, the famous Greek traveler's reaction had he enjoyed the perspective available to modern visitors, and to readers of this new book: the unparalleled view from the air. Here is Egypt as it is rarely seen, in 178 remarkable color images by Guido Alberto Rossi, an Italian photographer well known for his aerial pictures. Accompanying the illustrations is a lively and informative text by Max Rodenbeck, an American writer who has lived in Egypt for more than 15 years. Together, they bring to light the heritage of a great ancient civilization - and the beauty of a modern land." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Egypt of the mind; The monuments; The metropolis; The Nile; The desert; The sea. Size: Folio.
