The Audi TT is one of the few cars which transcends the automotive world, and is applauded for its design per se. Since its launch in early 1999, the TT has been a spectacular sales success, particularly in the UK and the USA. Quattro four-wheel-drive makes the TT unique amongst the current crop of coupes and roadsters. Nearly six years after it was first unveiled to the press, the car still turns heads, and has inspired a burgeoning aftermarket accessory and tuning industry. This all-color book will fascinate all Audi TT owners and sports car enthusiasts in general.
Dr. Ian Shaw (born 1961) is an Egyptologist and Reader in Egyptian archaeology at the University of Liverpool.
His field work was largely focused in el-Amarna, but in recent times, he has done extensive excavations of mining and quarrying sites from many different Ancient Egyptian periods. He primarily focuses his recent work on methods and mechanics of Egyptian craftsmen and laborers. However, he has produced several works regarding ancient Egyptian warfare; a topic that had long been ignored or only briefly commented on by other researchers.
Besides writing original books, he also has edited several "dictionaries" of Ancient Egypt (which might more correctly be labeled "encyclopedias"; they are in no way lexicons).
