    In 2012, an incredible phenomenon began to occur. Internet users, in earnest, began reporting frightening encounters with emaciated, pale, hairless humanoids that, for the most part, crawled on all fours. Internet users attempted to equate these entities with characters of Native American mythology, oblivious to the fact that the humanoids in these encounters bore a resemblance to the fictional Rake. Many witnesses suggested that they were "Skinwalkers," medicine men or witches of traditional Navajo lore who possess the ability to transform into animals. Others proposed that these emaciated humanoids were manifestations of the "Wendigo," a malevolent cannibalistic spirit of Cree and Algonquin legend. Others still began to invent new names for these creatures, such as "Fleshgaits" and "Crawlers," the latter evoking the 2005 movie entities that likely helped to inspire the Rake originally. 
     
     
     
    The humanoid encounters and sightings that are detailed in this book over varied glimpses into the phenomenon. Ask yourself—are these humanoids actual corporeal beings that are manifested by the human mind and perceivable by others? Or are we witnessing the nexus of an unknown and monstrous species of humanoid?

    In a world often narrated by male voices, "Notable Women Through the Ages" emerges as a resonant chorus of female stories, echoing through the corridors of time.This book is not just a collection of biographies; it's an intricately woven tapestry of lives that have shaped history in unspoken ways. We embark on a journey that meanders through the annals of history, uncovering the stories of women whose names might not echo in the halls of fame but whose contributions have been pivotal in the grand scheme of things.The resilience that led to Hypatia of Alexandria with their brilliant minds who defied her time and to the persistence that enabled Joan of Arc to overcome her difficult path. In this regard it focuses on the scientific genius of Marie Curie and artistic superiority of Frida Kahlo making us remember that talent has no gender. Each chapter unfolds a fresh aspect of women’s courage from politicians as Indira Gandhi and Angela Merkel down to the women fighting for social justice such as Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai.The more we read, we are accompanied by other lesser-known tough women such as unheard NASA mathematicians, anonymous heroines of wars and quiet fighters for art and literature revolution. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is not just a mere chronicle of achievements, but also traces all hardships and personal sacrifice required to accomplish such milestones in the society.It goes beyond being just a book to read; it’s an experience. The story of great women is a reminder that the historic narrative would remain incomplete without making references to them. Their stories of passion, grit, and strength do not read like mere footnotes in a textbook. Rather, they burn bright enough to light the way for those who follow. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is a dedication, an inspiration, and a legacy of the courage of woman-hood.

    "A subtle and universal exploration of identity." —Aida Alami, the New York Times 
     
     
     
    Cairo, 1963: four years before her lone novel is finally published, the writer Enayat al-Zayyat takes her own life at age twenty-seven. For the next three decades, it's as if Enayat never existed at all. 
     
     
     
    Years later, when celebrated Egyptian poet Iman Mersal stumbles upon Enayat's long-forgotten Love and Silence in a Cairo book stall, she embarks on a journey of reflection and rediscovery that leads her ever closer to the world and work of Enayat al-Zayyat. 
     
     
     
    In this luminous biographical detective story, Mersal retraces Enayat's life and afterlife though interviews with family members and friend, even tracking down the apartments, schools, and sanatoriums where Enayat spent her days. As Mersal maps two simultaneous psychogeographies—from the glamor of golden-age Egyptian cinema to the Cairo of Mersal's own past—a remarkable portrait emerges of two women striving to live on their own terms. With Traces of Enayat, Iman Mersal embraces the reciprocal relationship between a text and its reader, between past and present, between author and subject.

    A spine-tingling exploration of a venture as ancient as the pyramids themselves. 
     
     
      
    To secure a comfortable afterlife, ancient Egyptians built fortress-like tombs and filled them with precious goods, a practice that generated staggering quantities of artifacts over the course of many millennia—and also one that has drawn thieves and tomb-raiders to Egypt since antiquity. Drawing on modern scholarship, reportage, and period sources, this book tracks the history of treasure-seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, revealing striking continuities throughout time. Listeners will recognize the foibles of today's politicians and con artists, the perils of materialism, and the cycles of public compliance and dissent in the face of injustice. In describing an age-old pursuit and its timeless motivations, A Short History of Tomb-Raiding shows how much we have in common with our Bronze Age ancestors.
