This book presents and analyses the results of the use and adaptation of ancient Egyptian architecture in modern times. It traces the use of ancient Egyptian motifs and constructions across the world; from Australia; the Americas and Southern Africa to Western Europe. It also inquires into the cultural; economic and social contexts of this practice. Imhotep Today is exceptional not only in its global coverage; but in its analyses of thorny questions such as: what was it about Ancient Egypt that inspired such Egyptianizing monuments; and was it just one idea; or several different ones which formed the basis of such activities? The book also asks why only certain images; such as obelisks and sphinxes; were incorporated within the movement. The contributors explore how these monuments fitted into the local architecture of the time and; in this context; they investigate whether Egyptianizing architecture is an ongoing movement and; if so; how it differs from earlier; similar activities.

Unlike some other Kindle coloring books. this one has a link to download and print these on your own. I like that. I recently got into coloring. Its something my son and I can do together while we are at the cabin relaxing. My son is only 6 so he cant color these very well but its an activity he and I can do together and share our results with one another.Disclaimer - I received this ebook for free in exchange for my honest. unbiased. and fair review. In no way has this influenced my review. I rely on reviews just as much as you do and detest fake five star reviews. I very much appreciate reviewers who take the time to provide their honest and unbiased reviews and. for that. I am extremely grateful to them.When I need or would like particular products. I take the time to research those products as I do quite a lot of online shopping. I also take the time to test every product. whether received for free. at a discount. or for full sale price. to find out if the item holds true to its claim.If you found my review to be helpful in any way. then I trust that I have provided the necessary details to make your buying decision an informative and positive one.Should you have any questions. please feel free to ask away and hopefully I can provide an answer. Thank you for taking the time to read my review; it is very much appreciated.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Access to more downloadsBy JazCute little coloring book. It is not like the cover though. It has 14 different single flower images to color. But buying this gives you free access to tone of other coloring sheet downloads through Speedy Publishing. which makes it worth it to me. Cute little coloring book. It is not like the cover though.

Fun Coloring BookBy AbbyThis is a very good mix of intricate and simple pictures to color in this book. There are many abstract flower designs more than realistic flowers. I received this free on my Kindle for preview purposes only. The pictures in the book could be colored by teenagers as well as adults. There are only 14 pictures on my Kindle. but it says there are 106 pages so the price seems pretty good. There is a link in the book so you can download free coloring pages. but not for this book specifically. There are several to choose from. but only 3 are for adults. Overall. I would recommend this to anyone that likes these types of designs.I received this product at discount for my honest testing and review. I am under no obligation to provide a positive review and receive no incentives or rewards for doing so. My aim is to highlight features and drawbacks that I would want to know about as a buyer. not hype the product for the manufacturer. My remarks are sincere and my own. While it is true that many items are received at discounted rates or complimentary. my reviews are completely honest and are my personal experiences with the product. Again. it is just my opinion. your own opinion might vary. I received no monetary compensation and I am not required to give a good review.
