The Manichaean Codices of Medinet Madi
ISBN: 9780227175040 / Angielski / Miękka / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The seven Manichaean papyrus codices of the fourth or fifth century were discovered in illicit excavation in 1929 in the Egyptian desert. They were acquired in about equal halves by A. Chester Beatty for his library and by Carl Schmidt for the papyrus collection of the Staatliche Museen of Berlin. Having had access to the inventories, correspondence, and files in Berlin, Robinson provides translations of the German and French documents to increase access to information previously unavailable to the scholarly community. He narrates the slow and problem-ridden path of the acquisition,...

The Cockade in the Sand: The Defeat of Napoleon's Egyptian Adventure & the Campaign of 1801-Journal of the Late Campaign in Egypt by Thomas Wal
ISBN: 9781782823353 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two fine accounts of the British at war with Napoleon's French Army in Egypt
While there can be no doubt as to the colossal stature of Napoleon Bonaparte in world history, it is equally certain that, despite his genius as a strategist and military tactician, he was a fundamentally flawed character given to embarking on seemingly illogical endeavours-often with disastrous consequences in loss of life-for no realistically achievable gain. His 'adventure' into the Middle East and Egypt (a strategic cul-de-sac) with his 'Armee d'Orient' must rank in the forefront of those debacles....

South Sudan: A Slow Liberation
ISBN: 9781783604043 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 2011, after a lengthy struggle, South Sudan became the world's youngest independent nation. The area and its people had endured a brutal colonial conquest followed by a century of deliberate government neglect and racial oppression. Sudan's war of liberation--although victorious--resulted in many negative economic consequences, especially in rural areas dependent upon humanitarian aid. The violent aftermath of independence has resulted in looting, raids, and massacres in some regions.
South Sudan: A Slow Liberation examines these problems and provides a revealing, multi-layered... In 2011, after a lengthy struggle, South Sudan became the world's youngest independent nation. The area and its people had endured a brutal colonial c...

A Brief Introduction to Egyptian Coins and Currency
ISBN: 9781496990181 / Angielski / Twarda / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This work aims to provide such an account, covering the currency from ancient times, through the Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine, Arabic, and Ottoman periods to modern times. An important feature of the work is the illustration of a selection of about 150 coins and banknotes, which represent the major types throughout that history. Adjunct to this selection of these illustrations is a "key," which provides further numismatic detail about each of...

Dissent and Revolution in a Digital Age: Social Media, Blogging and Activism in Egypt
ISBN: 9781784532079 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the Arab uprisings of early 2011, which saw the overthrow of Zine el-Abadine Ben Ali in Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, the role of digital media and social networking tools was widely reported. This was also recognized by the very authorities fighting against popular pressure for change, and the Egyptian government s attempt to block internet and mobile phone access in January 2011 demonstrated the extent to which it was seen as powerful and potentially subversive tool. What is yet to be examined is the local context that allowed digital media to play this role: Egypt, for...

The Arab Uprisings: Transforming and Challenging State Power
ISBN: 9781784532284 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The uprisings which spread across the Middle East and North Africa in late 2010 and 2011 irrevocably altered the way in which the region is now perceived. But in spite of the numerous similarities in these protests, from Tunisia and Egypt to Yemen and Bahrain, their broader political effects display important differences. This book analyses these popular uprisings, as well as other forms of protest, and the impact they had on each state. Why were Mubarak and Bin Ali ousted relatively peacefully in Egypt and Tunisia, while Qadafi in Libya and Saleh in Yemen fought violent battles against their...

"Gramsci on Tahrir" presents a close analysis of the complex dynamics of Egypt s revolution and counter-revolution, showing how a Gramscian understanding of the revolutionary process can provide a powerful instrument for charting the possibilities for a truly emancipatory project in Egypt. Through Brecht de Smet s application of Gramsci s take on Caesarism, we can see how the current situation in Egypt demonstrates the ways that national histories and global power relations enable, define, and displace popular resistance and social transformation. A major contribution to the literature on...

Scarabs
ISBN: 9781508758235 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The following work is taken in part, from an address delivered by me before, The American Numismatic and Archeological Society, at its Hall in the City of New York, on March 30th, 1893. Since that time I have been led into a train of thought, having as its basis a more philosophical treatment of the meaning of the scarab as a symbol, in the religious metaphysic conception of it by the Ancient Egyptians, and have added much new matter.
