Reviews
Indian culture being rather impossible to actually understand or explain by any level of authority, this book has interesting insight and explanation on many issues amongst the confusion. This is especially true for such a limited narrative, more certainly than the many many coffee table books that proliferate and more succinct than the many publish or parish academics. I most likely give it more credit than it deserves, but it is over 30 years old and I get tired of all the expert drivel .
Lavishly illustrated, this book shows how important hieroglyphs were to many levels of Ancient Egyptian society, even to those who could not read.
4000 years of Chinese sculpture, bronze, jade, lacquer and porcelain
