Reviews"Bierbrier takes his third crack at this historical dictionary since 1999. This new edition includes over 1,000 entries covering major people, places, art, architecture, culture, religion, and other subjects from over three millennia of Ancient Egyptian history. It also includes a general chronology, more than 20 illustrations, an extensive dynastic list, 40 pages of international museums with Egyptian collections, and a lengthy bibliography broken into dozens of topics. The edition under review has new entries, and some existing entries have been corrected or updated to reflect new archaeological discoveries and understandings of Ancient Egyptian history. Libraries not owning any previous editions or only the first should strongly consider acquiring the third edition as it has changed significantly. Libraries already owning the second should weigh the value of the new edition's moderate expansion before purchasing unless they collect for an Egyptology program or otherwise endeavor to comprehensively acquire books on Ancient Egypt.
