GENESIS: WORLD OF MYTHS AND PATRIARCHS
An in-depth study of the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Canaan, and Egypt, and their brilliant legacy of law, science, arts, and the alphabet, from which Genesis and monotheism emerged. Illustrated with hundreds of site photographs, artifacts, maps, and charts, the ancient world and the Bible come alive.

THE SIXTIES: AN AMERICAN FAMILY IN EUROPE
"An archaeological dig into the present," is the author’s description of her book, illustrated with international political cartoons, that combines the reactions on two continents to the Vietnam War; civil rights unrest; political power shifts during the cold war; student strikes that threatened governments, with raising a family and adapting to foreign cultures and languages in Zurich and Paris, the two cities of residence during a period of huge American business expansion.
