Shimmer: Mary Shisler: On The Edge26 x 34 " Archival inkjet on paper Water and light spark the imagination and suggest amazing and liminal imagery. Water is also one of the most challenging elements to capture in photography. It may be translucent, glimmering, opaque, shimmering. A small change in physical conditions light levels creates a bevy of shapes and colors. For me, the relationship between light and water evokes an ever changing poem of movement across an ocean, a pond, a

This book was a disappointment. It looked like exactly what I was looking for: an overview of the history, society, and culture of Egypt from ancient to modern times that wasn't 500+ pages long. I did learn a fair bit of information, but unfortunately, the book is far from "enthralling." It reads like a high school student's book report. In addition, it sometimes just throws terms out there with no explanation, and I found myself having to consult Google. For example, it says "Since hieroglyphs were difficult to create, the Egyptians developed hieretic writing, which was a type of cursive script. Later, demotic writing was developed for ordinary documents." What is demotic writing? How is it different from hieretic? The book doesn't even provide a picture. I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what these things are. This book needs slightly more detail and an author with better writing style / storytelling abilities. That said, it still may be the best short introduction available.
