Pharaoh's Boat

48 pp. | Houghton | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-05341-7 $17.00
(2) 4-6 This handsome casebook on constructing (and, more than four thousand years later, reconstructing) the boat Pharaoh Cheops would ride into the afterlife focuses on intricacies of design and creation. Clear schematic drawings of the boat's parts and assemblage are effectively, dramatically set against plenty of white space. A valedictory double-gatefold spread shows the reconstructed vessel manned by ancient oarsmen. A map is appended.
