Ancient Egyptian Conspiracy...

Editors Charles River

Given how far back the Egyptian civilization goes, it’s no surprise that Egypt is still full of mystery, and the unknown continues to generate conspiracy theories that attempt to fill in the gaps. For example, generations have viewed Egypt’s pyramids and the Great Sphinx as symbols of a lost past, which in turn leads to Egypt’s portrayal as a world full of romance and mystery. The age and structural integrity of these magnificent structures also make them symbols of longevity and power, which is only fitting because those are two purposes the ancient pharaohs who commissioned them intended them to serve. 
In fact, while the sphinx was a well-known mythological creature among various ancient civilizations, the Egyptian statue that is now most famously associated with the creature is full of mysteries that have been endlessly debated throughout the centuries and continue to be hotly contested among scholars. The famous “Riddle of the Sphinx”, told by Sophocles in his play Oedipus Rex in the 5th century B.C., characterized the sphinx as a clever and powerful creature, and the mysteries of the Egyptian statue were discussed even among the ancient Romans. Even the source of the damage suffered by the Sphinx has become the stuff of legend, as evidenced by the story of Napoleon’s French soldiers shooting off the Sphinx’s nose. 
Of course, the Sphinx is merely one object in Egypt that has been the source of endless theories. The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb revived the legends of pharaohs’ curses and mummies, and ancient Egyptian art has been analyzed in seemingly every conceivable way possible as people come up with alternate theories for how the Egyptians built their most famous buildings and forged their enduring civilization.

Mrs Pankhurst's Bodyguard - On...

Emelyne Godfrey

'Beautifully told, this book brings a fascinating and compelling story to a wider public. A "must read" for those interested in women's lives in the past.' - June Purvis, Professor (Emerita) of Women's and Gender History, University of Portsmouth, UK
'This important and absorbing book presents a unique history of Kitty Marshall. This is first-class history and a first-rate thriller.' - Professor Clive Bloom, author of A History of Britain's Fight for a Republic
Katherine 'Kitty' Marshall was destined to break with convention. Brought up in a socially active family, her inherent rebellious streak came into play in 1901, when she daringly divorced her husband and joined the newly founded Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), campaigning for women's suffrage.
In 1904, she married solicitor Arthur Willoughby Marshall and the couple soon became a powerhouse team in the movement: Arthur defending the suffragettes in court while Kitty, trained in jujitsu and a member of the WSPU's elite team 'the Bodyguard', helped her close friend Mrs Pankhurst evade the clutches of the authorities under the infamous Cat and Mouse Act. All the while, Kitty was under the watchful eye of the Metropolitan Police, and in particular Detective Inspector Ralph Kitchener, who frequently encountered the Marshalls in his work trailing the suffragette 'mice'.
Following events as they unfolded on both sides, Mrs Pankhurst's Bodyguard is a gripping account of Kitty and Arthur's incredible work and their fight for political equality.

William Stanek's The Living...

The Editors of Our American...

Olympic begins in the ocean.

Rock carried by moving crust became mountains. Ice reshaped them. Rain gathered against their slopes. Rivers carried mountain water through forests toward the Pacific. Salmon moved between sea and interior, joining worlds that roads would later make seem separate.

William Stanek's The Living Olympic Biography follows that connected landscape through geology, glaciers, rain forest, coast, Indigenous homelands, settlement, logging, dams, preservation, river restoration, wildlife, fire, and a changing climate.

The result is the biography of a peninsula whose parts cannot be understood alone.

Mountains become rivers. Rivers become forests. Forests meet the sea. And the story of protecting Olympic becomes, increasingly, the story of repairing connections once broken.
