Review Quotes: "This is a readable and thought-provoking volume from which students and professional Egyptologists will benefit. The use of theory is welcome, but the main impact of the book is its continuation of the theme of establishing an "Egyptological" theory of materials and technology." --Paul T. Nicholson, Cardiff University, UK, The Historian
