we're doing a book called Screening the Past, edited by Julie
Schablitsky, that provides accurate historical archaeological
information to students readers on favorite movie topics (Vikings,
pirates, the West, Egypt, etc.) to contrast with Hollywoodized
versions. The book should be out sometime in 2007. We will announce the
details of the book on this list when we get the final manuscript.
