  In the early months of 1815, Europe found itself once again on the brink of war. Napoleon Bonaparte, exiled to the island of Elba after his abdication in 1814, had made a daring return to France. On March 1, he landed on the southern coast and began a dramatic march north to Paris. Along the way, regiments sent to arrest him instead joined his cause. By mid-March, he had reclaimed power in what would be known as the Hundred Days. This return sent shockwaves across the continent and disrupted the fragile peace established by the Congress of Vienna. 
  The leaders of the major European powers—Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia—swiftly moved to form the Seventh Coalition. Their shared goal was simple: defeat Napoleon once and for all. The coalition agreed to raise massive armies and converge on France from multiple directions. Among the key figures in this alliance were the Duke of Wellington, commanding Anglo-allied forces, and Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, leading the Prussians. Napoleon, ever the strategist, understood the urgency of striking quickly before these forces could unite. 
  France, still weary from years of revolution and war, was divided in its support. While many rallied to Napoleon out of loyalty or fear, others viewed his return as a dangerous setback. Nonetheless, he managed to raise an army of around 124,000 men—smaller than the coalition forces, but composed largely of veterans loyal to him. Napoleon's plan hinged on speed: he would drive a wedge between Wellington and Blücher’s armies in Belgium, defeat them separately, and then force a negotiated peace.

  What is the purpose of art in a world on fire? In this exhilarating and deeply inspiring work, Amber Massie-Blomfield considers the work of artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers—such as Gran Fury, Billie Holiday, Alexis Wright, Claude Cahun, Rick Lowe, and Joseph Beuys—alongside collectives, communities, and organizations that have used protest sites as their canvas and spearheaded political movements. From writer Ken Saro Wiwa combating oil pollution in Nigeria and Susan Sontag directing Waiting for Godot in besieged Sarajevo to the women stitching subversive patchworks in Pinochet's Chile and the artist-activists who blocked the building of a new airport in France, with stories drawn from environmentalism, feminism, anti-fascism, and other movements, Acts of Resistance brings together remarkable acts of creativity that have shifted history on its axis.

  The Science of Mummification -...

  Mummification, the art and science of preserving bodies after death, has fascinated both historians and scientists for centuries. In ancient Egypt, mummification was not merely a process of preservation but also a vital part of the culture’s religious beliefs. The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, where the soul would continue to exist in a parallel realm. The preservation of the body was considered essential for the soul’s journey, as it would serve as a vessel for the soul's return. This chapter delves into the origins and purpose of mummification, shedding light on the techniques that evolved over millennia. 
  The practice of mummification is believed to have begun around 3500 BCE, initially as a natural process. Early Egyptians buried their dead in shallow graves in the hot, dry desert sands. The dry conditions naturally desiccated the bodies, preserving them for years or even centuries. However, as Egyptian society developed and religious beliefs became more complex, the need for a more deliberate and refined method of preservation emerged. Over time, the Egyptians developed techniques to prevent decomposition, ensuring that the deceased would be preserved for the afterlife. 
  Mummification’s primary purpose was to ensure the deceased’s body remained intact for the soul’s journey to the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was necessary for the soul to recognize and reunite with the deceased in the next world. The process, therefore, was not just about keeping the body intact; it was about ensuring the deceased's spiritual well-being. Alongside the physical mummification process, elaborate burial rituals were performed, including the offering of food, goods, and prayers to help guide the deceased through the afterlife.
