Description:
Cairo, Egypt: American University in Cairo Press, 2004 Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. Written and photographed by Michael Haag.Alexandria has had a checkered history since its foundation by Alexander the Great in 331 B.C. From its glorious days as the intellectual center of the Hellenistic and early Christian world, it declined into a near-forgotten backwater with a population of only a few thousand at the time of the French invasion of 1798. Renewed prosperity and commercial growth came in the nineteenth century under Muhammad'All. Today it is Egypt's second city and the favorite summer resort of millions of Egyptians. In this guide to one of the world's great cities, Michael Haag explores Alexandria's past and present in word and picture, from the ancient Pharos to the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, from Anfushi to Montazah. He directs our curiosity not only toward the ancient monuments of the city and its fine Greco-Roman Museum and new National Museum, but also to the ambience of a… Read More

London: Flamingo, 1997 Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. Reprint.. In 587 AD, two monks set off on an extraordinary journey that would take them in an arc across the entire Byzantine world, from the shores of the Bosphorus to the sand dunes of Egypt. On the way John Moschos and his pupil Sophronius the Sophist stayed in caves, monasteries, and remote hermitages, collecting the wisdom of the stylites and the desert fathers before their fragile world finally shattered under the great eruption of Islam. More than a thousand years later, using Moschos's writings as his guide, William Dalrymple sets off to retrace their footsteps and composes "an evensong for a dying civilization" --"Kirkus Reviews," 483p. plates (some col) maps on endpapers. bibliography.index.

U.S.A.: Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 1942 Book. As New. Soft cover. Facsimile Reprint.. Fascimile of the edition originally published by A.F.Seward & Co/ The Yogi Publication Society. Chicago,1908. "The Kybalion is divided into seven principles, which are axioms and insights similar to those found in the Book of Proverbs. The principles include mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, gender, and cause and affect. Based upon ancient Hermeticism, the book's philosophies became founding pillars within the New Thought movement of the early 1910s. The Kybalion originally published in 1908 under the pseudonym of the Three Initiates, is a book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Within The Kybalion is the claim that the book makes its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate. The Kybalion also claims to have influenced all major religions and philosophies ancient and modern alike. 223p..

Description:
New York: Grove Press, 1988 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st US Edition.. Florence Nightingale was twenty-nine when she visited Egypt in the winter of 1849-50 with her friends Charles and Selina Bracebridge. A journey to the fabled land of the Arabian Nights was a fantastic adventure at that time, and Florence wrote long, picturesque letters to her family describing her visit and her views of the country, its history and its people. These letters were edited and privately printed by her sister, Parthenope, in 1854 and were greatly admired by those who read them, but they have never before been published. Attractive, intelligent and extremely well read, Miss Nightingale was one of the earliest women to make such a journey, and she researched her subject well. Her letters are a fascinating account of life in a country whose greatest asset, its past, had only recently been discovered. They are also a valuable record of a way of life that has now vanished. And they are an extraordinary account into the… Read More
