An excellent introduction to the subject with chapters on water transport, both wooden and papyrus boats, and land transport. The later chapter covers the road network, walking, carrying chairs etc. I particularly liked Mr Partridges approach in which he considers, and presents , the evidence for his statements rather than just saying so and so as used in this way.... . Lots of information provided on most modes of transport and in some cases very detailed and specific, i.e. Khufu's boat from Giza.
Very well illustrated with both photographs and line drawings, some 141 pages long with an excellent glossary of terms. First published in 1996, it's probably a little out of date re cutting edge but I believe that the majority of the information won't have changed, a really good introduction to the subject.
