Immerse yourself in the dark and complex mythology of Ancient Egypt.
Alongside the mummies and the great treasure-filled burial chambers of the Pyramids are the many gods, heroes, monsters and legends that defined their universe. Atum, the first being -- who then begat Nut, the sky goddess and Geb, the god of the land -- and their union in turn producing Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys.
Explore Ancient Egypt's creation myths, including the Book of the Dead, and the evolution of pictograms and hieroglyphs, which documented many aspects of Egyptian life. Read how, across the long duration of the Ancient Egyptian age, animals such as cats, falcons, baboons and scarab beetles became sacred, and how species like the jackal, lion and the Nile crocodile became intertwined with the gods.
Death and the afterlife occupied a central place in the Ancient Egyptian belief system, and this well-illustrated book explores the extraordinary lengths and care given to funerary practices, including the Weighing of the Heart and the elaborate rituals to ensure the successful passage of the deceased pharaohs into the afterlife -- to live in Paradise with Osiris.
Fully illustrated with photographs of shrines and statuary, this book is the definitive guide to the dark, complex and extraordinary mythology of Ancient Egypt.
In cooperation with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The World Heritage List is a valuable tool in the battle to preserve cultural and natural heritage. Its strict criteria mean only the most extraordinary and important sites qualify, such as the Great Pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, Machu Picchu, the Great Barrier Reef, the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon. Natural and human-made creations both qualify for this kind of celebration and protection.
Firefly last published World Heritage Sites (8th edition) in 2017. It has been unavailable for years.
In that time, the world experienced the COVID pandemic, and the UNESCO Site Committee could not meet internationally.
Between 2017 and 2023, UNESCO has added 120 more sites and this book now includes such newly designated places as:
Each site is accompanied by a full-color locator map, and about 700 are shown in a color photograph.
This is a great reference, an ideal volume to browse and learn history, and a great place to plan travel to Europe, South America, Asian ruins and African waterfalls.
Written by a dedicated selenophile (a person who loves the Moon), this guide to Earth's celestial companion is a non-technical narrative that quickly elevates the lunar novice to lunar authority.
Photographic Atlas of the Moon explains how the Earth and the Moon are locked together in a co-dependent embrace, each affecting the other in ways that impact our lives. The reader will learn in comprehensible, jargon-free language about the Moon we see, its orbit, its creation and the differing geologic details of the Moon, some of which can be seen with the naked eye. All the photographs in this lavishly illustrated book were taken by the author, an internationally recognized authority on celestial photography. Reeves has perfected image processing techniques that allow the amateur astronomer, using modest equipment, to exceed the quality of Earth-based professional lunar photographs taken during the Apollo era.
Although Reeves is an accomplished deep-sky photographer, his current passion is re-popularizing the Moon within the amateur astronomy community. Momentum is building for a manned return to the Moon to continue the exploration started over half a century ago. Photographic Atlas of the Moon will provide even the most novice reader with an understanding of the Moon and its allure so they can appreciate the upcoming explorations by NASA's Artemis lunar program.

10,000 flavor matches that will transform the way you eat.
What is foodpairing? It is not the familiar and mundane matching of wine and food or even food and food, but it is certainly all about creating the most delicious culinary results possible.
When humans taste a food, they are processing its taste 80 percent through the nose -- via the food's aromatic molecules -- and only 20 percent on the tongue. We can conclude then that knowing the aromatic molecular properties of a food is critical to pairing foods successfully for ultimate taste.
For a long time, we have been unknowingly pairing aromatic molecules out of instinct, cultural history, tradition, and plain guesswork. Many of those are routine and make sense but others are counterintuitive, like balsamic vinegar on strawberries. We like them because they are delicious. What we didn't know is that they work because they share aromatic molecules. With this new knowledge we have discovered unheard-of pairings like chocolate on cauliflower and kiwi with oyster. So how do we use this new science? We at home don't have the technology to isolate molecules or store the results in a database.
That's where The Art and Science of Foodpairing(R) comes in. From the scientists and chefs who discovered this new culinary science, and the company that created and maintains the enormous database, here is a fabulous reference to 10,000 food pairings for use in both professional and home kitchens. Foodpairing(R) has proven to be revolutionary: When the Foodpairing(R) database went live, the chef and restaurant community came on like a storm with 100,000 website hits on the first day. Now over 200,000 chefs and restaurants in 140 countries regularly access the database when designing their menus.
The Art and Science of Foodpairing(R) provides 10,000 flavor matches laid out in taste wheels and color keys. When cooks go to one ingredient, they will find 10 food pairings and a color wheel revealing the taste results. For example, boiled beets will taste less like the earth they grew in and more like cheese if they are paired with coffee, and cauliflower sprinkled with cocoa could turn the fussiest child into a veggie fiend.
Foodpairing(R) has the potential to transform our food choices with outcomes that include good health as well as the power to alleviate boredom. The same dinner, the same staples. We get bored, our children get bored. Foodpairing(R), even without adding anything new to the pantry, can alleviate that.
Beginning with an in-depth introduction and the story of Foodpairing(R), the book contains:
The book also covers key food characteristics, aroma profiles, classic dishes, contemporary combinations, scientific explanations, special features and contributions from some of the world's greatest chefs for the top 150 ingredients, and much more.
The Art and Science of Foodpairing(R) is destined to become the essential reference to creating delicious, exciting and perfectly balanced meals.
