Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-22 00:00:00 James Robins I found this book in the footnotes of Riley's The Once and Future Great Lakes Country: An Ecological History, and I am so glad to have found it. Campbell follows the history of the idea of the wilderness and landscape on the Thirty Thousand Islands along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay. Campbell describes the tensions over land use and ownership claims, the mythmaking and marketing of the landscape at different historical periods, and the area's elevation to an archetypal Canadian landscape in the art of the Group of Seven. I got a great perspective on how we construct our vision of landscapes and our vision of our past to explain our present.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-31 00:00:00 Dave Simms It is amazing how something as recognizable as the Great Sphinx has so little written about it. Any reader interested in learning more about the Sphinx will find this book a god-send because it is one of the few books that examines this monument in detail, even if it isn't that long. One of the reasons it is such a great book is it's very hard to find a book that is solely dedicated to one of the most mysterious monuments in Egypt; typically, compendiums have a few paragraphs to a few pages attributed to this mythological creature, which makes someone who is interested in learning more about it disappointed. This would make another great addition to any serious Egyptologist's bibliothèque.
