THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT EGYPT

The Great Courses are taught by university professors selected by The Teaching Company for intellectual distinction and teaching excellence. In these lectures on ancient Egypt, the enthusiasm of Professor Brier is so infective, the material chosen so fascinating, and the presentation so pleasant that any adult listener could enrich his knowledge of history with enjoyment. One lecture even teaches students to write their names in hieroglyphs. Dr. Brier speaks a little fast and drops words once in a while, but not during important material. These 24 CDs makes the lectures clearer and more durable than tapes, making them an ideal purchase for any lending library. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
