"This is a really excellent collaborative history of Ancient Egypt—though dense and detailed enough that it's probably only for the serious Egyptophile or the aspiring student. It runs from the Palaeolithic era right through to the post-Ptolemaic period, which is an enormous time frame, but Shaw and the other contributors do a good job of addressing all the main developments and key events—the only real disappointment is the chapter on the Amarna period, which fails to be as comprehensive as the others. Aesthetically, it's well put together, with plenty of black-and-white and coloured plates, maps, time lines and genealogical charts. Definitely recommended."
"I don't know enough about ancient Egypt so I read this for a general overview. I had given it 2 stars, but upon reflection I have upgraded it. I really do feel that it gave me a fairly solid basis for thinking about ancient Egypt and I feel fairly confident about what I learned from this book. The introduction was helpful in that Shaw explained the chronogy choices and a bit about the dating mechanics. The best part for me were the two chapters by Alan Lloyd, The Late Period and The Ptolemaic Period. Lloyd is a very witty writer and I actually laughed out loud a few times in those chapters (bear in mind this is a very serious, scholarly text book). My biggest complaint is that this book treats over 4000 years of Egyptian history over 436 pages and NOT ONCE is any mention made of textile production and distribution, an industry that was as fundamental to the economic, social, and political life of ancient Egypt as gold, grain, and gods."
