Book Synopsis The Western Desert of Egypt by : Cassandra Vivian
Download or read book The Western Desert of Egypt written by Cassandra Vivian and published by Amer Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already the most comprehensive guide ever for desert and oasis travel in Egypt west of the Nile, The Western Desert of Egypt: An Explorer's Handbook has now been fully revised and updated for the latest generation of twenty-first century desert adventurers. Fully illustrated with some 50 maps and plans and over 270 drawings, the guide covers both the natural history and the human history of the desert and the oases. It then explores chapter by chapter the oases of Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Bahariya, Fayoum, and Siwa, and the desert areas of al-Diffa (the northern, semiarid edge of the desert), the Darb al-Arbain caravan route in the south, and Uwaynat (including Gilf Kebir) in the southwest. Descriptions of routes, sites, people, and places are complemented by practical information on places to stay, eat, and fill your gas tank. Global positioning system (GPS) waypoints are provided as an aid to navigation on many routes--though for the sake of conservation and the protection of unguarded antiquities they are not given for remote sites. Almost encyclopedic in its scope, this is the one guide that belongs on the bookshelf, dashboard, or rucksack of every Western Desert traveler.

Book Synopsis The Devil In The White City by : Erik Larson
Download or read book The Devil In The White City written by Erik Larson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An irresistible page-turner that reads like the most compelling, sleep defying fiction' TIME OUT One was an architect. The other a serial killer. This is the incredible story of these two men and their realization of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and its amazing 'White City'; one of the wonders of the world. The architect was Daniel H. Burnham, the driving force behind the White City, the massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in a wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with striking blue eyes. He used the attraction of the great fair - and his own devilish charms - to lure scores of young women to their deaths. While Burnham overcame politics, infighting, personality clashes and Chicago's infamous weather to transform the swamps of Jackson Park into the greatest show on Earth, Holmes built his own edifice just west of the fairground. He called it the World's Fair Hotel. In reality it was a torture palace, a gas chamber, a crematorium. These two disparate but driven men are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the legendary Fair that transformed America and set it on course for the twentieth century . . .
Book Synopsis Cairo Jim and the Astragals of Angkor by : Geoffrey McSkimming
Download or read book Cairo Jim and the Astragals of Angkor written by Geoffrey McSkimming and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THE ABANDONED, MUSTY UNDERGROUND store rooms of the Old Relics Society in Cairo, Gerald Perry (Esquire) leads Jim, Doris and Brenda to a row of six almost-forgotten, dust-covered crates secreted away in the gloominess. These crates, Perry tells his friends, were deposited down here long ago, shortly after Perry himself had the headquarters of the Old Relics Society built. The crates were left by an archaeologist-explorer who was himself an old man when Perry was young. That man, Perry informs was none other than Hercule Von Coddler one of the most felonious, thieving, wretchedly arrogant distorters of our profession! As each crate is uncovered, the store rooms become filled with awe-struck incredulity. The crates hold six large stone astragals convex mouldings hewn from the walls of an obviously ancient building. Each of the astragals has been carved with the figure of a dancing apsara heavenly nymph. It turns out they are the famous Astragals of the Apsaras, and therein lies their great, almost incomprehensible secret: each of the heavenly nymphs is demonstrating what appears to be a different sort of yoga or exercise position, with their arms, legs, necks and torsos bent and distorted, and all-akimbo, this way and that. They represent a sacred series of meditational mantras. The final astragal, the seventh, is supposed to show the final position attained before the human body will vanish in a single second into a plane only half in this world. Jim and his friends realise that someone is armed with lightweight replicas of the Astragals of the Apsaras replicas that may very well lead them to the last remaining astragal. They are dispatched to the vast and beautiful complex of Angkor, where they set about trying to thwart whoever is seemingly following in the footsteps of Hercule Von Coddler to obtain an all-empowering ancient knowledge which, if misused, could halt the progress of humankind as we know it.
