The story of Egypt is the story of history itself--the endless rise
and fall, the life and death and life again of the eternal human
effort to endure, enjoy, and understand the mystery of our
universe. Emerging from the ancient mists of time, Egypt met the
challenge of the mystery in a glorious evolution of religious,
intellectual, and political institutions and for two millenniums
flourished with all the vigor that the human heart can invest in a
social and cultural order. Then Egypt began to crumble into the
desert sands and the waters of the Nile, and her remarkable
achievements in civilization became her lingering epitaph. John A.
Wilson has written a rich and interpretive biography of one of the
greatest cultural periods in human experience. He answers--as best
the modern Egyptologist can--the questions inevitably asked
concerning the dissolution of Egypt's glory. Here is scholarship in
its finest form, concerned with the humanity that has preceded us,
and finding in man's past grandeur and failure much meaning for men
of today.
James H. Breasted (1865-1935) was the foremost influence in
introducing Americans to the culture of ancient Egypt. He founded
the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago and was the
author of History of Egypt and Ancient Times: A History of the
Early World, among other works.

With layer upon layer of rich, dense cake and delicate buttercream
subtly flavored with fruit, chocolate, or nuts, classic European
tortes crown the pinnacle of Old World baking. Make them with the
freshest produce of the fields and orchards of Texas-oranges,
peaches, pecans, raspberries, blueberries, plums, apricots, figs,
strawberries, and kiwis-and you will discover the New World's
ultimate desserts. In this cookbook, Master Baker Arthur L. Meyer
presents forty-three original, kitchen-tested recipes for fruit,
nut, and chocolate tortes, cassate, tarts and pies, cheesecakes,
and other classic European desserts. The recipes take advantage of
fresh Texas ingredients, and each recipe contains clear,
easy-to-follow instructions that demystify the processes involved
in creating these desserts. In addition to the recipes, Meyer
guides the home baker through the basic steps in producing tart and
cheesecake crusts, fillings and icings, and other standard
components of special desserts. Throughout the book, he gives tips
on proper techniques and equipment drawn from many years of
experience.
