    ***NEW ZEALAND’S LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE*** 
    Two New Zealand Classics—now available with an introduction by Amberley Ember. 
    The year is 1865. 34-year-old Annie, freshly married, sets sail for New Zealand where she will serve as a helpmeet for her second husband, Fred. They live in Christchurch until they can build their house in the sheep-farming Canterbury High Country. Soon, Lady Annie Barker is tending to dogs and chickens, learning how to boil potatoes and galloping side-saddle on her horse through the fresh, miasma-free air. Just when the newlyweds begin to feel settled, they are caught in a great snowstorm, and swindled in a land deal. 
    This is two books in one: Station Life in New Zealand (1870) and Station Amusements (1873).

    The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent

    The origins of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt trace back to the dawn of Egyptian civilization, around 3100 BCE. Considered one of the oldest writing systems in human history, hieroglyphs emerged as a complex script combining logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements. The early development of this script was intricately linked to the formation of a centralized state, where the need for recording and communication became essential. 
    The earliest evidence of hieroglyphic writing appears on pottery, labels, and stone artifacts from the pre-dynastic period. These rudimentary symbols gradually evolved into more structured and standardized forms during the Early Dynastic period. As Egypt unified under a single ruler, the writing system became an essential tool for administration, religious practices, and the consolidation of royal authority. Early inscriptions on monuments and ceremonial palettes reveal a combination of pictorial symbols and phonetic elements, reflecting both artistic expression and linguistic utility. 
    Throughout the Old Kingdom, hieroglyphs developed significantly in both style and function. They became integral to monumental inscriptions, recording achievements of pharaohs and religious texts. The Pyramid Texts, found within the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, are among the oldest religious texts written in hieroglyphs. These inscriptions aimed to ensure the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife, indicating that the script held profound religious and cultural significance.
