A well-researched and easy-to-understand series. In addition to being packed with useful information about and insight into these ancient civilizations, each volume includes a helpful glossary and a final chapter that summarizes the peoples' achievements and discusses their legacy to modern science and technology. What sets this series apart, however, is its format that includes clear, easy-to-read text; simple yet effective topic headings; excellent-quality, full-color photographs and reproductions; and Internet sites.

Science in Ancient Egypt discusses the achievements of the ancient Egyptians in science, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, agriculture, and technology.
