Although they were created thousands of years ago, the great monuments of Ancient Egypt continue to absorb and astonish us today. These imposing constructions - the Sphinx, the Pyramids, the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and the monumental temples of Luxor and Karnak - demonstrate the complexity and strength of that civilization, while the fabulous treasures from Tutanhkamun's tomb are testament to its intense cultural richness. United as one country in 3100 BC, Egypt developed into an unequaled economic and cultural power under the pharaohs, one that endured for over 3000 years. The ancient land bordering the Nile is still revealing its secrets, and our understanding of this extraordinary civilization is still deepening and changing. Lavishly illustrated throughout, Ancient Egypt: Kingdom of the Pharaohs gives an up-to-date account of the theories that have been used to describe this sophisticated culture, looking in detail at all the most important people, sites, and artifacts, and explaining practices, customs, and beliefs.

This is a complete introduction to the game of backgammon, designed for the beginning to intermediate player. Backgammon is one of the world's oldest games, but the innovation of the doubling cube in the 1920s has helped to make it one of the most modern. 
 Throughout the analysis, from recommended opening moves to the most efficient way of "bearing off," there is a consistent effort to explain the underlying logic of the choice of one move over another. The discussion of basic strategy incorporates a simple explanation of dice roll probabilities, and the use of the doubling cube is demystified -- what is it? how is it used? and why use it?
