These fine works both reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary approach embraced over the last 20 years by Egyptology, once fiercely proud of its academic borders and rooted in philological studies. Grimal (Egyptology, Sorbonne) has written a history of Egypt from its beginnings to the conquest of Alexander, drawing upon textual and archaeological sources. Scholarly without being pedantic, this gracefully written book never becomes tedious, even in matters of chronological argument. Grimal's insight into the essence of ancient Egyptian culture and reinterpretation of its relations with outsiders throughout its history give the book additional value.
