Egyptologie : A la recherche de la tombe d'Osiris

House of Books

A New York Times bestseller! Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt through a fascinating journal from a lost expedition -- a treasure trove of fact and fantasy featuring a novelty element on every spread. Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt -- and the thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years? Not the feisty Miss Emily Sands, who in 1926, four years after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, led an expedition up the Nile in search of the tomb of the god Osiris. Alas, Miss Sands and crew soon vanished into the desert, never to be seen again. But luckily, her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal, full of drawings, photographs, booklets, foldout maps, postcards, and many other intriguing samples. Here are just a few of Egyptology's special features: -- an extravagantly gilded cover, featuring a raised Horus hawk pendant with three encrusted gems -- a playable game of Senet -- ancient Egyptian checkers -- including board, pieces, original-style dice, and rules -- a souvenir booklet showing how to read simple hieroglyphs -- a scrap of textured "mummy cloth" -- a large, jeweled Eye of Re "amulet" embedded in the last page of the book Rich with information about life in ancient Egypt and peppered with Miss Sands's lively narration, Egyptology concludes with a letter from the former Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, explaining which parts of this unique tale may be accepted as fact, which are guided by legend.

House of Books

*Major New York Times Bestseller *Over 2.6 million copies sold *One of The New York Times Book Review’s ten best books of the year *Selected by The Wall Street Journal as one of the best nonfiction books of the year *Recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom *Daniel Kahneman’s work with Amos Tversky is the subject of Michael Lewis’s bestselling book, *The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds* In his mega-bestseller, *Thinking, Fast and Slow*, internationally renowned psychologist and Nobel laureate in economics Daniel Kahneman takes readers on an unprecedented journey through the workings of the mind, explaining the two systems that govern the way we think. System 1 operates quickly, intuitively, and emotionally; System 2 works slowly, deliberately, and logically. Overconfidence skews corporate strategy, happiness predictions fall short, and cognitive biases affect everything from investing to holiday planning—all phenomena understandable only when you grasp how these dual systems influence judgment and decision making. Through engaging dialogue about human thought processes, Kahneman illuminates which situations warrant trusting intuition versus skepticism, while also revealing ways to harness the power of deliberate reasoning. Offering insightful advice for everyday life, he explores how people navigate their professional and personal worlds using various tactics to avoid common pitfalls that lead to poor outcomes.
