An award-winning writer and international journalist leads the general reader through ancient Egypt in a 2-volume work that explores the maze of facts and fantasies, and examines Egypt’s place in the history of religion and monotheism in particular. He shows how Egypt both influenced and mystified other civilizations for centuries.Writing in an easy to read narrative literary style while respecting the norms of Egyptological scholarship, the author examines the contradictory opinions of major Egyptologists (and the major loonies), and brings us closer to Egypt’s core meaning and in

Exploring the status of feminism in this "postfeminist" age, this sophisticated meditation on feminist thinking over the past three decades moves away from the all too common dependence on French theorists and male thinkers and instead builds on a wide-ranging body of feminist theory written by women. These writings address the question "Where are we going?" as well as "Where have we come from?" As evidenced in the essays compiled here, the multiplicity of directions available to this new feminism ranges from poststructuralist academic theory through cultural activism to re-readings of law, l

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER in THE CONFERENCE In Chapters IV. and V. I shall study in some detail the economic and financial provisions of the Treaty of Peace with Germany.

In attempting this task, I touch, inevitably, questions of motive, on which spectators are liable

The latest book by the Slovenian critic Slavoj Zizek takes the work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze as the beginning of a dazzling inquiry into the realms of politics, philosophy, film, and psychoanalysis. This is a polemical and surprising work. Deleuze, famous for his Anti-Oedipus (written with Felix Guattari), emerges here as someone much closer to the Oedipus he would disavow. Similarly, Zizek argues for Deleuze’s proximity to Hegel, from whom the French philosopher distanced himself. Zizek turns some Deleuzian concepts around in order to explore the "organs without bodies" in s

The idea of insanity pervades every aspect of our daily lives. Thomas Szasz contends that the term actually functions as a euphemism for problems in living, as an excuse for crime and misbehaviour, as a stigma for invalidating adversaries - and, generally, as a metaphor and legal fiction. In "Insanity", Dr. Szasz presents a systematic articulation of the precise character and practical consequences of the idea of mental illness. He shows the way to a better understanding of this almost universally misunderstood condition by first establishing the scientific criteria and linguistic conventions

Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of one gene, depending on the parent of origin, and it is associated with several disease syndromes in humans. This book covers a wealth of research material on chromatin structure, epigenetics, clinical genetics, developmental biology, cancer, hypotheses of evolution, and the molecular basis of the imprinting process, which will help explain not only the mechanisms of genomic imprinting, but also its biological and medical consequences.

Consequences of Denial provides some awareness and understanding of the horrendous tragedy of the Armenian genocide. This book illuminates the little known fact that over two million innocent Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire between 1894 and 1922: a genocide that has been, and continues to be, denied by successive Turkish governments. In this book, the author demonstrates the need not only for remembrance, but first and foremost for the acknowledgement of genocides, from government level downwards. Only by taking adequate steps at personal, group, national and international le
