Editorial : Egyptian Life is one of a series of small but well-organized studies of materials in the British MuseumIt is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of Egyptology, but rather a very well-illustrated and readable series of chapters dealing with the home, village life, family and society, agriculture and diet, crafts and craftsmen, dress, recreation, popular religion and magic. And the book treats these topics clearly and wellEgyptian Life offers remarkably good coverage of ancient Egyptian culture and society.

This is a remarkably vivid and wide-ranging picture of life in ancient Egypt. (Science Books and Film)
Stead utilizes numerous photographs and illustrations from the British Museum to paint a refreshingly new view of Egyptian life. She asserts that Egyptians were not a pessimistic race of people
Contrary to the popular view that they were a people obsessed with religion and death, the ancient Egyptians were in fact very much concerned with the enjoyment of life--so much so that they desired their civilized, often exuberant existence to be continued for ever in the afterlife. Thus they equipped their tombs with all the trappings of life on earth and decorated the walls with colorful scenes depicting their many activities, pleasures and pastimes. With the aid of a wealth of illustrations from the British Museum's rich Egyptian collections, Miriam Stead combines the evidence from the tombs with that of excavation and written sources to recreate a remarkably vivid and wide-ranging picture of life in ancient Egypt.

Another thing is that the acupressure-acupuncture system used in this book is based on the Japanese model and not the Chinese.
All in all if the book had preview feature I could have spared myself the cost of having bought this book from now on I won't buy any book unless there is a preview feature for it.
