Archaeological Landscapes of the Near East 
T. J. WILKINSON 

In this trailblazing book, Wilkinson identifies specific landscape signatures for 
various regions and periods, from the early stages of complex societies to the close 
of the Early Islamic period. By weaving together the record ot the human 
landscape with evidence of settlement, the environment, and social and economic 
conditions, he provides a holistic view of the ancient Near East that complements 
archaeological excavations, cuneiform texts, and other conventional sources. 

"It is a fundamental contribution to the field, one that every specialist will need to 
think about deeply, consult frequently, and of course own." —Robert McC Adams

Secrets from the Sand 
My Search for Egypt's Past 

Zahi Hawass 

'The life of an Egyptian archaeologist is busy, exciting and sometimes dangerous, 
and in the following chapters I will tell many stories about my excavations, of the 
spectacular discoveries we have made, and of my struggles to save the ancient 
monuments of Egypt.' 

With these words, Zahi Hawass introduces his latest book, a personally conducted 
tour of some of the most important excavation sites in Egypt. His lively descriptions 
of his life's work, accompanied by many previously unpublished photographs, take 
us all over Egypt, from Giza, where he supervised the restoration of the Sphinx 
and the Great Pyramids and explored the newly discovered tombs of the pyramid 
builders, to the intriguing tombs at Saqqara and Heliopolis and the Golden Mummies 
in Bahariya Oasis. 

Dr Hawass's book is based on rigorous scientific analysis of excavations conducted by 
himself or under his supervision, although he is also a spellbinding storyteller: in his 
hands, archaeology becomes the stuff of enthralling adventure, danger and wonder.

The Pagan Dream of the Renaissance 
Joscelyn Godwin 

'Dazzlingly wide-ranging .... unusual and refreshing ... afascinating range of beetle-browed 
and potentially illuminating interpretations — cabbalistic, alchemical, Neoplatonic, zodiacal 
—for some of the most stunning creations of the Renaissance' 
Andrew Graham-Dixon, The Daily Telegraph 

' This enchanting book is an essential guide to the theory and practice of Renaissance 
natural magic' 
Penelope Gouk, author of Music, Science and Natural Magic in Seventeenth-Century England 

'A scholarly and well-illustrated feast which does much to explain the explosion of interest 
in classical antiquity in the Christian courts of the Italian Renaissance' 
3rd Stone 

'His sheer humanity leaves one gasping with wonderment, with pleasure, with humour' 
Anthony Rooley, author of Performance: Revealing the Orpheus Within
