Joann Fletcher, presenter of BBC2's 'Ancient Egypt: Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings' has written an enthralling account of Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most compelling and mysterious figures. Wife of the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten, she lived through perhaps the most tumultuous period in the country's long history. The so-called Amarna Period has long held a fascination - not just for the enormous changes it brought to the religion, art and administration of Egypt, but for the many mysteries which surround it. Mysteries, that is, until now. Leading Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher has taken a fresh eye to the evidence and arrived at one of the most dramatic discoveries in recent times. Working with a team of leading experts, she has identified a long-forgotten mummy as the body of a female pharaoh of the Amarna Period, whom she believes is Nefertiti herself. Lying for over three thousand years in an unused side chamber of Tomb KV.35 in the Valley of the Kings, it tells a story which will forever change the way in which we view Nefertiti - and indeed women throughout Egyptian history. Now at last we see the full significance of her role as co-regent and later Pharaoh of Egypt, as well as understanding the astonishing luxury and decadence of her life in Amarna - a life she led as the country around her began to disintegrate.

STORYTELLING AT ITS BEST FOR TWEENS & TEENS - FAITH & FAMILY-FRIENDLY - Book 1 in the Footsteps in the Canyon Adventure Series Thirteen-year-old Caitlyn knew that many feet had walked over the beautiful high meadow and into the deep rugged canyon she loved so much near her family’s guest ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle. In addition to the hooves, padded paws, claws, and talons that still roamed this untamed land, there were the footsteps of boots, shoes, and moccasins of centuries past that had left their mark with stories to be told. What Caitlyn didn’t know was just how personal all those stories would become as she and her homeschooled friends left their own footsteps in the canyon. This exceptionally researched historical fiction series for tweens and teens combines stories from the present day with those of the settlers pushing West in the late 1800s and from the lives of the Kiowa Indians a century earlier. A GIFT FROM THE PAST (Story 1) Caitlyn’s discovery of a tragedy in the canyon by her home was unexpected. That day, she was only wishing to rest her eyes from staring at the computer screen and at the puzzle called mathematics. But this discovery was a different kind of puzzle, and with each piece she set in place, it squeezed her heart a little more. Yet she was drawn to it like a moth to a flame and would cherish it for the rest of her life. THE BIG WIND (Story 2) Over the years, many people had lived on the high meadow beside the box canyon, including those of the tipi village a hundred years ago. Now, thirteen-year-old Caitlyn lives on the same high meadow. She visits the same canyon with the river running through it. She feels the same sunshine and rain and even the whirling cone of wind dropping out of the clouds—that fearsome funnel of air and debris known as the twister. Staying safe would not be easy.

Much has been made about how the New China has become an economic juggernaut in today's world while civil liberties and basic freedoms remain constricted. We know where the aging leadership has taken and is taking China, but what about the very young? What are they like? When JoAnn Dionne arrived in Guangzho, she came prepared to live and teach elementary school in a Communist country. She expected to see soldiers in the streets, people in grey Mao suits, and lineups to buy toilet paper. Instead she found the world's oldest country, throwing itself headlong into the future. She found traffic jams and 24/7 constructions, neon lights and smog, shopping malls and modern high-rises. And then she met the people who would live in that future -- her students. Along with crisp insights into Chinese culture as seen through the eyes of a North American, Dionne provides a funny, often poignant glimpse of a nation undergoing rapid transformation.
