Architecture, Astronomy and Sacred Landscape in Ancient Egypt by Giulio Magli

摘要

Archaeoastronomer Giulio Magli is no stranger to readers of the Nexus Network Journal. He began sharing his research with us in 2005, and has authored or co-authored several papers (2005, 2006, 2007, 2009a), and most importantly, was guest editor of a special issue of the NNJ devoted to architecture, mathematics and archaeoastronomy (NNJ 15, 3, 2013), which resulted from his chairing of a session on that theme during the Nexus 2012 conference in Milan. The contributions to the NNJ have all been characterised by the hallmarks that distinguish his new monograph, Architecture, Astronomy and Sacred Landscape in Ancient Egypt (Cambridge University Press, 2013): careful, original research, a clear exposition, and a passion for the discipline.
