|  | Egyptian Mummies by Delia Pemberton
Who were the ancient Egyptians? Why did they mummify their dead? Why did they bury people with their possessions? And why do mummies still fascinate us today? The remains of seven mummies from the world-famous British Museum can answer these questions and many more. Nearly a hundred color photographs detail what these people looked like, how they worked, the foods they ate, and why they prepared so elaborately for the afterlife. AUTHOR: Delia Pemberton

 | Waterloo by David Chandler
The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of the career of one of the most charismatic men of all time and signaled a crucial shift in the European balance of power. But the story of Napoleon`s return from Elba and his dramatic seizure of power -- even if for a mere hundred days -- is a great adventure story. Chandler`s book, based on more than 20 years of research, gives a blow-by-blow account of the battle, but also goes behind the scenes to analyze the military organization, the commanders, their tactics, strategies, and weapons.
