Books by Toby Wilkinson

Yes I will be doing a Conversation with him.  He is one of the leading historians of ancient Egypt, and he has a recent book out on Ptolemaic Egypt, namely The Last Dynasty: Ancient Egypt from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra .

1. I have been reading in the history of archaeology, and have profited from Eric H. Cline, Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology , which is a very good introduction to what the subtitle claims.  There is also Toby Wilkinson, A World Beneath the Sands: The Golden Age of Egyptology , and Jason Thompson, Wonderful Things: A History of Egyptology, volume 2, The Golden Age: 1881-1914 .
