"Giza and the Pyramids is an extraordinary treatment of these fascinating monuments, and of the complexity of archaeological remains that surround them. Many archaeologists have explored aspects of Giza, but this collaborative volume by Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass brings together two of the most outstanding. Each has made important discoveries about Giza throughout their careers, but they also have a complete grasp of the vast scholarly literature Giza has generated, and present it in an accessible and stimulating form for scholar and lay enthusiast alike. The information provided is in the most up-to-date form the reader would wish, and complemented by many outstanding illustrations and informative diagrams."--David O'Connor, Institute of Fine Arts at New York University
