  The Middle Kingdom of Egypt - A...

  The Middle Kingdom of Egypt marked a transformative period following the turmoil of the First Intermediate Period. This era, spanning roughly from 2050 to 1710 BCE, saw the reunification of Egypt under the leadership of Mentuhotep II, the pharaoh who established stability after years of political fragmentation. As the nation emerged from chaos, the Middle Kingdom laid the foundations for a revitalized state, fostering political, cultural, and economic growth. 
  The collapse of the Old Kingdom had left Egypt divided, with rival factions vying for control. This power vacuum led to the rise of regional rulers known as nomarchs, whose increasing autonomy weakened central authority. The struggle for dominance between these local leaders marked the First Intermediate Period, characterized by instability and fragmented governance. However, the emergence of Mentuhotep II, a ruler from Thebes, marked a turning point. Determined to restore order, he led a series of military campaigns to reunite Upper and Lower Egypt. His victory over the Herakleopolitan kings signified the dawn of a new era. 
  Reunification under Mentuhotep II not only consolidated political power but also reestablished the role of the pharaoh as a central figure of authority. As the unifier of Egypt, Mentuhotep II portrayed himself as the restorer of ma'at—harmony and justice. His reign marked the beginning of the 11th Dynasty and set a precedent for strong, centralized rule. The restoration of internal stability allowed for significant cultural and artistic developments, reflecting a renewed sense of national identity.

  Mountain Guru - The Life of Doug...

  Winner of the Kekoo Naoroji Award
  Doug Scott was a legend among mountaineers. His expeditions, undertaken over a period of five decades, are unparalleled achievements. This book describes the extraordinary drama of them all, from the Himalaya to New Zealand, Patagonia, Yosemite and Alaska. It includes his famous 'epic' on The Ogre, one of the hardest peaks in the world to climb, his ascent of Kangchenjunga without supplementary oxygen and his ascent, with Dougal Haston, of Everest in 1975.
  Catherine Moorehead also uncovers the elusive man behind the obsessive mountaineer. From his rumbustious youth in Nottingham through two tempestuous marriages to a secure third marriage, she shows how Scott matured in thought and action as his formidable global reputation increased. In doing so she reveals him to be a clash of opposites, an infuriating monomaniac who took extraordinary risks yet who developed a deep interest in Buddhism and inspired widespread affection.
  Scott spent almost as long as his climbing career in founding and developing Community Action Nepal, providing schools and health posts in remote parts of Nepal, where he is still much revered. Doug Scott died in 2020.
