Summary

"The Book of the Dead," also known as the ''Book for Going forth into the Day,"" is a collection of ancient Egyptian funerary texts that provides instructions and prayers to guide the soul of the deceased through the journey of the afterlife and ensure its transformation into a divine being. Composed of a series of chapters or incantations, the book describes the rituals and ceremonies necessary to ensure the individual's survival in the afterlife and eventual union with the gods.
The texts of the Book of the Dead include magical formulas to protect the deceased from the dangers of the underworld, as well as invocations to obtain the help of the gods in the final judgment, where the life of the deceased will be evaluated and his or her eternal destiny determined. In addition, the book contains pictorial representations of scenes from the afterlife and the judgment of Osiris, the god of the afterlife.
In short, the Book of the Dead is a spiritual and ritual guide that offers solace and guidance to the deceased on their journey into the afterlife, as well as a fascinating insight into ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and practices surrounding death and the afterlife."

    Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

    Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
 
 
 
Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

    Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations. Through the analyses generated by aligned think tanks, political elites on both the left and right frequently offer radically different assessments of a policy's consequences. 
 
 
 
In The Thinkers, Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. More broadly, Fagan shows that the rise of partisan think tanks tracks closely with the increase in political polarization since the 1970s. Because they are funded and staffed by strong ideologues, partisan think tanks seek to move their party's preferences to the left or right of center. When they are successful, parties take more extreme positions than if they had only drawn information from non-partisan sources, which increases polarization. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.
