Pyramid by David Macaulay

Pyramid by David Macaulay

Through concise text and richly detailed black and white illustrations we come to know the philosophy of life and death in ancient Egypt. Since the publication of his first book, Cathedral in 1973, David Macaulay has acquired national and international acclaim. His books have been translated into a dozen languages, and he has been honored with countless awards, including a medal from the American Institute of Architects for being "an outstanding illustrator and recorder of architectural accomplishments". Pyramid, David Macaulay's third book, is an impressive look at what many consider to be among the most awesome of man's creations. Recipient of the Christopher Award and of the New York Academy of Sciences Children's Science Book Award, Pyramid was also a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, an ALA Notable Book, and one of New York Times Best Books of the Year.

We have other books in this series available in our History Books and Geography Books sections.
