        In the recently revamped book display area, one can browse through assorted books on Tennessee archaeology and history, Native American culture, and pottery of the Southwest. Among the selections offered are the following:
        [Book Jacket] The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee, by Paul W. Parmalee and Arthur E. Bogan, is a major reference that encompasses historical and modern mussel collections and draws on conservation studies that span two centuries. Profuse illustrations include color plates of the mussels and distribution maps. Dr. Parmalee is a professor emeritus of zooarchaeology and curator of the McClung Museum's extensive freshwater mussel collection. Dr. Bogan is curator of aquatic invertebrates at the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh. This hardback book, published by The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, is priced at $50.00 + tax if applicable.
        Scholars, Scoundrels, and the Sphinx: An Archaeological and Photographic Adventure Up the Nile is the catalog for the January-July 2000 McClung Museum exhibition of that name. This book, by curator Elaine Altman Evans, tells an absorbing, well-illustrated story of the exploration and documentation of an endlessly fascinating ancient culture by serious practitioners of two emerging disciplines -- Egyptology and photography.
        William Peck, Curator of Ancient Arts at the Detroit Institute of Arts, observes: "It is a story that is conveyed with ancient artifacts and vintage photographs in a way that makes the early 'discovery' of Egypt come alive....Long after the exhibition, the catalogue will remain a valuable compendium of information on the history of Egyptology, Egyptologists, and Egypto-enthusiasts."
        Lanny Bell, Associate Professor Emeritus, Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago, adds: "Useful for travelers, photographic buffs, and those interested in Egypt in general, this catalogue will also be a valuable educational resource...."
        The 134-page catalog has 202 illustrations and sells for $18.50 + tax if applicable.         		[Book Jacket]
        [Book Jacket] Tellico Archaeology: 12,000 Years of Native American History, by McClung Museum Director, Dr. Jefferson Chapman, is a comprehensive overview of the Indian Prehistory and history of East Tennessee. Written for the lay reader, the book is based on the extensive excavations conducted in the Little Tennessee River Valley from 1967-1982 by The University of Tennessee. A number of objects illustrated in the book are on exhibit. The book was revised in 1995 and sells for $16.95 + tax if applicable.
        Tradition, Innovation and Romantic Images: The Architecture of Historic Knoxville is a hard-cover color book prepared for the McClung Museum exhibition of the same name in 1991.
