Excerpt: Ahmes (more accurately Ahmose) was an ancient Egyptian scribe who lived during the Second Intermediate Period and the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty (the first dynasty of the New Kingdom). He is best known for his work in mathematics. The mortuary temple's entrance from within the Pyramid of Djoser complex at Saqqara, where Ahmes left graffiti at the North Chapel to commemorate his visitAhmes was the son of the scribe Iyptah. Alongside a scribal companion from the school of Sethemhab, Ahmes once traveled to Saqqara, Egypt, to visit the Old Kingdom monument of the Temple of Djoser. His companion describes Ahmes's delight with the ancient site in graffiti that they personally inscribed at the North Chapel of the temple complex: The scribe Ahmose came to see the Temple of Djoser. He found it as if heaven were within it, Ra rising in it. Then he said: 'Let loaves and oxen and fowl and good and pure things fall to the Ka of the justified Djoser: may heaven rain fresh myrrh, may it drip incense!' A surviving work of Ahmes is part of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus now located in the British Museum (Newman, 1956). Ahmes states that he copied the papyrus from a now-lost Middle Kingdom original, dating around 1650 BC. The work is entitled Directions for Knowing All Dark Things and is a collection of problems in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, weights and measures, business and recreational diversions. The 51 member 2/nth table and the following 87 problems were presented with red auxiliary numbers. Ahmes offered brief notes for hard-to-read red auxiliary number steps for 20th century scholars.

Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; c. AD 90 c. 168), known in English as Ptolemy (pronounced ), was a Roman citizen of Egypt who wrote in Greek. He was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer and a poet of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology . He lived in Egypt under Roman rule, and is believed to have been born in the town of Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid. He died in Alexandria around AD 168. Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises, at least three of which were of continuing importance to later Islamic and European science. The first is the astronomical treatise now known as the Almagest (in Greek, , "The Great Treatise", originally , "Mathematical Treatise"). The second is the Geography, which is a thorough discussion of the geographic knowledge of the Greco-Roman world. The third is the astrological treatise known sometimes in Greek as the Apotelesmatika (), more commonly in Greek as the Tetrabiblos ( "Four books"), and in Latin as the Quadripartitum (or four books) in which he attempted to adapt horoscopic astrology to the Aristotelian natural philosophy of his day. The name Claudius is a Roman nomen; the fact that Ptolemy bore it proves that he was a Roman citizen. It would have suited custom if the first of Ptolemy's family who became a citizen (whether it was he or an ancestor) took the nomen from a Roman called Claudius, who was in some sense responsible for granting citizenship. If, as was not uncommon, this Roman was the emperor, the citizenship would have been granted between AD 41 and 68 (when C...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23979 ... Read more

Product Description
Between 1902 and 1907 Norman de Garis Davies, working under the auspices of the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society), conducted a comprehensive architectural and epigraphic survey of the tombs of Akhenaten's courtiers, in the cliffs and wadis to the East of the modern village of Tell el-Amarna in Middle Egypt. This pharaoh's reign, which began in approximately 1353 BC, was a time of great religious and political upheaval, and saw the foundation, at Amarna, of an entirely new capital city, Akhetaten. It was also a time of great innovation and change in art, not least in the style and content of scenes carved in two dimensions. This change is abundantly evident in the surviving wall decoration in these tombs, which Davies captured so skillfully, and which was then made available to the scholarly world and the wider public through the six-volume publication resulting from his work. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A Treasure available again after 100 years
As one who is fascinated with Akhenaten, I've only been able to access these volumes through the San Francisco Public Library.Two days' notice is required before getting to look at the original edition copies; the originals are also extremely delicate.Plus they are so valuable that they cannot be checked out.This first of three volumes reprints 2 of the original volumes, and the next two reprints will also include 2 of the original 6 volumes each.The facsimile reproduction is fantastic.The text is separate from the photos and relief drawings for each tomb, and it is all beautifully and carefully reproduced.

These books are invaluable to my research and are a fascinating read plus the many, many drawings are intriguing eye candy.I'm sure these new editons will be limited, so don't delay in getting your copy despite the somewhat high cost.I am anxiously awaiting the publication of the second volume!

These reprints are treasures!

Product Description

The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level.

 

Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out.

 

Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones.

 

Publishers Weekly-1/19/2009:

The third book in this genre-busting series is certain to enlarge Kinney’s presence on the bestseller lists, where the previous titles have taken up residence for the past two years. Kinney’s spot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons are back in full force. This time, Greg starts off on New Year’s Day (he resolves to “help other people improve,” telling his mother, “I think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly”) and ends with summer vacation. As he fends off his father’s attempts to make him more of a man (the threat of military school looms), Greg’s hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentines expressing his true feelings (“Dear James, You smell”), attempting to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team’s perfect season. Kinney allows himself some insider humor as well, with Greg noting the “racket” children’s book authors have going. “All you have to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns a lesson at the end of the book.” Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule. Ages 8–12. (Jan.)

the book was shipped very quickly.received in reasonable amount of time.was ordered for my daughter's birthday and it got here in time. she loves the book and wants more of them.

5-0 out of 5 stars Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3
Dear reader,
I have been reading the series of Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney. The book is about a kid called Greg Hefley and his family. His brothers are always bothering him and his dad wants to send him to military academy. If he doesn't want to go to military academy he has to get in shape. The book takes place in a neighborhood and in his school.

I think the book is awesome because it has a lot of humor. The story is like normal kids living there life and it is not fiction. Greg has this friend called Rowley, he is dumb. Greg is very persistent to Rowley.

I think all the readers agree with me about the book. I recommend this book because like I said before it is familiar with a lot of daily lives. Like Greg says I guess I'm out of paper.

5-0 out of 5 stars It gets hiim to read

Product Description
This is a biography of Thomas Jefferson at leisure, enjoying two of his passions--wine and travel. Twelve of the sixteen chapters cover Jefferson's five years in France where he served as our minister and traveled through France, England, Germany, Italy and Holland. "Passions" was selected by Robert M. Parker, Jr. as "1995 Wine Book of the Year," and was the winner of the 1995 "Veuve Clicquot Wine Book of the Year" competition. It is a marvelous account of America's first wine connoisseur and gourmet. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars INSIGHT INTO THOMAS JEFFERSON'S LIKES
This was given as a gift, and I've received many thanks and raves from my sister and brother-in-law about the book.Both not only are history majors, they are in a group that studies wines.They plan to use this book as a subject at their next meeting.

5-0 out of 5 stars America's First Wine Connoisseur
Wine was a lifelong passion for Jefferson, not just drinking it, but also planting vineyards at Montecello and in his Paris garden.The book details his experiences with wine and is enhanced by vintage prints.
Sixty-five pages at the back, document where the author found the information in the book (letters, books, documents).Also appended are measures for English, German, French and American wines at that time and the standardized guage for foreign wines (a pipe, a bull, a hogshead, and an ohm).The author lists the contents of Jefferson's travel box and clarifies what the items were used for.A glossary further helps the reader with unfamiliar words.
An interesting glimpse into the passion of an interesting man.

4-0 out of 5 stars A New Side of Thomas Jefferson
Passions: The Wines and Travels of Thomas Jefferson by James M. Gabler is a delightful book.If you think you know Thomas Jefferson guess again.The 18th century revolutionary also was the nation's foremost expert on wine.

Gabler follows the travels of Jefferson through France and Italy when Jefferson was in his early 40s.Every wine Jefferson ever drank is listed in this book, as was the commentary on how he traveled and what he saw during that era.

I bought the book at the Beringer vineyard's gift shop, and found it an enchanting companion as I traveled through the Napa Valley on my own wine tour.Jefferson's palate was impeccable, and you can truly taste his joy and curiosity.

You'll learn all about the life of the people of Italy and France, how well he related to ordinary farmers and wine growers, and his close friendships with wine merchants worldwide.

There was something charming and civilized about this book, the perfect glimpse into the inner life of Jefferson.I found his delight and passion for fine wines endearing.Buy the book, take a leisurely trip through Northern California's wine country, and drink in the tradition of 18th century intellectual virtuosity. You won't be disappointed, and you'll learn a lot about wine in the process from one of the world's most imaginative people.

5-0 out of 5 stars The pursuit of happiness
The preface to Passions quotes John F. Kennedy's toast to a group of Nobel laureates that "this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever gathered together in the White House -- with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." James Gabler's unusual biography pays tribute to Jefferson's palate as well as his mind. Certain to succor the most serious oenophiles, it contains encyclopedic data on Jefferson's cellar and interesting trivia on the era's wines, many of which were far more distant in evolution from their modern incarnations than is often supposed. Moreover, by documenting the passion with which Jefferson devoured the world's great wines, Gabler offers an engaging perspective on the genius Jefferson manifested in all of his pursuits.

Passions depicts Jefferson at leisure and does not emphasize his career as statesman except when necessary to develop the narrative. Nor does it address the controversy over Jefferson's moral character ignited by his complicity in slavery, a pointless debate which lamentably fixates modern revisionists. But despite its limited scope, in offering a more vivid account of Jefferson the man, Gabler's research probes certain mysteries about Jefferson's public life, particularly the question why, following his legendary work as a founding father of the nation, his Presidency was less successful. Gabler's Jefferson is a loner whose widowing as a young man left him heartbroken and somewhat estranged from the nation he sired. He sought comfort in a sort of exile across Europe, never quite establishing a home but immersing himself in the best of what its cultures offered. From Gabler's account, one surmises that Jefferson could have retired happily in that fashion but returned to Washington when duty obliged him to serve as Secretary of State, and then as President.

Gabler's final chapters describe with mouthwatering clarity a series of dinners which Jefferson hosted in the White House for friends and fellow statesmen, which he funded personally despite his dwindling wealth. He served wine after dinner, but the meals retained about them some elements of the colonial frontier, with cider or porter's ale accompanying the food. At one such dinner, an invitee expressed surprise at receiving an invitation requesting the "favour of his company" on behalf of "Thomas Jefferson," rather than "the President of the United States." As such details suggest, these chapters are interesting evocations of a time when Americans' aversion to the trappings of entrenched power remained visceral. Gabler's accounts of these evenings also leave one warmed that a man so monumental as Jefferson seemed most content gathered around a table with old wine and old friends.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Combination of Two Passions
To the Jefferson buff and wine fanatic, this book is a rare treat.I ordered it after spending a long weekend touring the Virginia wine country and Jefferson's Monticello.What an interesting read - meticulously researched and well-written, the author is commended for taking a potential dry subject and bringing it to full-fruited life.A must for any Jefferson fan's library. ...

Product Description
"Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat 15 worms in 15 days. A hilarious story that will revolt and delight bumptious, unreachable intermediate-grade boys and any other less particular mortals that read or listen to it. . . . Colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein."--Booklist.Amazon.com Review
How to Eat Fried Worms has happily repulsed childrensince its original publication in 1973. Now youngsters can experiencethis classic story in a whole new yucky way, by listening to it onaudiocassette. Narrator Jay O. Sanders gives extra kick and vitalityto this already lively yarn. He throws himself into the role of a10-year-old boy, facing the most revolting bet of his life. Billy musteat 15 worms in 15 days--but the reward will be worth it: $50 for ashiny new minibike. Luckily, Billy's friends cook up these fat juicygrubs in a variety of appetizing ways--drenched in ketchup andmustard, fried in butter and cornmeal, and the pièce derésistance, a Whizband Worm Delight (an ice-cream wormcake). Sanders derives obvious pleasure from reading (and singing) outloud the hilarious rhymes and childish chants concocted from the mindof the book's author, Thomas Rockwell.

"Trout, Salmon,flounder, perch,
I'll ride my minibike into church.
Dace,tuna, haddock, trout,
Wait'll you hear the ministershout."

How to Eat Fried Worms is a ghastlygastronomical treat that will dazzle young listeners. (Running time:two hours, two cassettes) --Naomi Gesinger ... Read more

It was gross.The reason is because Billy ate the worm with ketchup.Billy thought it was good.After he ate five or ten worms, his stomach started to hurt.My favorite part was when he yelled in the middle of the night in the neighborhood.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great children's book in great shape
The book arrived in wonderful shape for being a used copy. Received quickly as always.

5-0 out of 5 stars What's for dinner?
How to Eat Fried Worms is a classic,yet fun book.Tonight my daughter and I read the story and couldn't help but cringe at the idea of eating all those worms.The bet was on.Billy had to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days.One worm each day.How hard could it be?The first one was hard.The idea of eating the same thing you use to catch a fish would turn anyones stomach.He covered it with ketchup, mustard, horseradish and anything else he could find to help hide the taste.One, two three bites and it was all gone.Fourteen days left and he would win fifty dollars.The exact amount he needed to by a mini bike.There was no turning back now.The challenge from here on out was how he could cook the worm to make it more appealing to the tastebuds.

Anna and I loved it!We gave it two thumbs up or five stars.Maybe it should have been fifteen stars - one for each worm Billy had to eat!Classic yes, boring no.I recommend you grab a copy and read it with your child today.

5-0 out of 5 stars CGE Student Review
Do you like to read funny, entertaining, and gross then you should read How to Eat Fried Worms by the author Thomas Rockwell. Other books he has write is How to get fabulous rich, Hiding Out, How to fight a girl the genre is Fiction the book theme is funny, entertain, gross.
The Author writing of style is to entertain, funny, gross. The main characters are Tom, Bill, Jim, Alan. My favorite characters are Bill because he made a bet to tom to eat 20 worms before two weeks and he did do that he eats 20 worms in one week.
The background information is that they get the worms out of the grown and other places. My exciting in the beginning is when Jim ate the first worm he ate his face turn green it is gross.
I recommend this book to people that like the funny, entertain, and gross. I like this because it is funny that so many ways I will tell you first he had to eat 20 weeks but he eat it in one week.
