National Geographic, 2004

Matthiessen does it again!
I've always enjoyed Peter's books, especially the Snow Leopard. I've travelled to many spots all over the world (unfortunately, not to Antarctica yet - although my husband is a pilot on "the Ice").

Golden Age of coffee table book
Having seen the original King Tuthamen exhibit in L.A. about 27 years ago I was most interested in seeing if the current exhibit could surpass the glory of the first. This book should be required reading for anyone going to one of the four cities where these priceless Egyptian artifiacts are to be displayed. I have tickets for the Chicago showing. To have this book to remind and inspire me long ...
