  • Author : Marianne Eaton-Krauss
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2015-12-17
  • ISBN : 1472575636
  • Pages : 209 pages

Download or read book The Unknown Tutankhamun written by Marianne Eaton-Krauss and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, the story of the boy who became Pharaoh, died young, and was buried in splendor at the height of Egyptian civilization captivated generations. But there exists a wide discrepancy between that saga and what scholars have learned in the past few decades about the king's reign and its major significance for the history of Egypt. Marianne Eaton-Krauss, a leading authority on the boy king and the Amarna Period, guides readers through the recent findings of international research and the relevant documentation from a wide variety of sources, to create an accessible and comprehensive biography. Tracing Tutankhamun's life from birth to burial, she analyzes his parentage, his childhood as Prince Tutankhaten, his accession and change of name to Tutankhamun, his role in the restoration of the traditional cults and his own building projects, his death and burial, and the attitudes of his immediate successors to his reign. Illustrated with color and black-and-white images, the book includes extensive endnotes and selected bibliography, which will make it essential reading for students and scholars as well as anyone interested in Tutankhamun.

Book Through an Unknown Country

Download or read book Through an Unknown Country written by Mike Murtha and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on previously unpublished reports and journals thought to be lost, Through An Unknown Country provides the reader with a harrowing and riveting account of a 19th century expedition through the northern mountain ranges of western Canada. In the winter of 1874-75, Edward Worrell Jarvis (1846 1894) and Charles Francis Hanington (1848-1930) took part in an expedition on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Survey from Quesnel, British Columbia, to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It led them over the northern Rocky Mountains through what would come to be known as Jarvis Pass (Kakwa Provincial Park, British Columbia) and eventually onto the Canadian plains. The trip took them 116 days and covered over 3000 kilometres, of which almost 1500 was travelled on snowshoes. Through An Unknown Country brings together the day-to-day reports of Jarvis and the more entertaining narrative of the epic journey by Hanington into a single volume for the first time. Recounting harrowing treks through deep mountains, densely forested valleys, open foothills and wide prairie, this highly readable adventure story can most certainly be read alongside the better-known journals of Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, David Thompson and Paul Kane."--

  • Release : 2024-09-02
  • ISBN : 1648431518
  • Pages : 743 pages

Download or read book Making the Unknown Known written by Victoria H. Cummins and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Making the Unknown Known, leading scholars throughout Texas explore the significant role women artists played in developing early Texas art from the nineteenth century through the latter part of the twentieth century. The biographies presented here allow readers to compare these women’s experiences across time as they negotiated the gendered expectations about artists in society at large and the Texas art community itself. Surveying the contributions women made to the visual arts in the Lone Star state, Making the Unknown Known analyzes women’s artistic work with respect to geographic and historical connections. Including surveys of the work of artists such as Louise Wüste, Emma Richardson Cherry, Eleanor Onderdonk, Grace Spaulding John, and others, it offers a groundbreaking assessment of the role women artists have played in interpreting the meaning, history, heritage, and unique character of Texas. It places women artists within the larger social and cultural contexts in which they lived. In that regard, it contains an analysis of their varied styles of art, the media they employed, and the subject matter contained in their art. It thus evaluates the contributions made by women artists to defining the nature of the wider Texas experience as an American region. Beautifully illustrated throughout with rich, full-color reproductions of the works created by the artists, this volume provides an enriched understanding of the important but underappreciated role women artists have played in the development of the fine arts in Texas. At last, the unknown story can be known.

This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Jack the Young Explorer: A Boy's Experiences in the Unknown Northwest' by George Bird Grinnell, readers are immersed in the thrilling adventures of a young boy exploring the uncharted territories of the American Northwest. Grinnell's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling style transport the reader to a time of exploration and discovery. The book captures the essence of the late 19th century literary tradition of adventure stories for young readers, reminiscent of the works of authors like Mark Twain and Jack London. Through Jack's escapades, readers are not only entertained but also educated about the geography and culture of the region. Grinnell's careful attention to detail and historical accuracy make this book a valuable resource for understanding the pioneer spirit of the time. George Bird Grinnell, a renowned naturalist, anthropologist, and historian, drew on his own experiences exploring the American West to write 'Jack the Young Explorer.' His passion for nature and his firsthand knowledge of the region shine through in the book, making it an authentic and compelling read for both children and adults alike. I highly recommend 'Jack the Young Explorer' to anyone interested in adventure stories, historical fiction, or the rich heritage of the American Northwest.
