    The Early Dynastic Period marks the beginning of ancient Egyptian civilization, a time when the foundations of one of history’s most remarkable cultures were laid. Spanning approximately from 3100 to 2686 BCE, this period is characterized by the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under a single ruler, leading to the establishment of the first dynasties and the concept of pharaonic rule. 
The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt is often attributed to King Narmer, a powerful ruler who is believed to have brought the two regions together. The famous Narmer Palette, an ancient ceremonial artifact, depicts Narmer wearing the crowns of both Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing his authority over the unified land. This pivotal moment not only marked the creation of a centralized state but also set the stage for the development of a dynastic tradition that would persist for millennia. The consolidation of power allowed the pharaohs to wield significant control over the land, fostering political stability and cultural coherence. 
The role of Narmer and the early pharaohs was instrumental in shaping the governance and societal structure of ancient Egypt. As divine rulers, these early kings were seen as earthly embodiments of the gods, responsible for maintaining ma'at, the concept of cosmic order and balance. This religious authority legitimized their political power and reinforced their role as mediators between the divine and mortal worlds. During this period, the pharaohs established court systems, oversaw the construction of monumental architecture, and promoted the development of writing, which became crucial for record-keeping and administration.

    Those who have had a narcissistic parent can testify to how damaging it can be to one's psyche. Narcissistic parents lack empathy, show a severe sense of entitlement to micromanage the lives of their children, and often subject their children to neglect, as well as emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. From the unique challenges daughters of narcissistic fathers face to the ways in which adverse childhood experiences affect our brains, Shahida Arabi's insightful essays resonate deeply with those who have been raised by narcissistic parents. In this new essay collection, Arabi explores how narcissistic abuse in childhood can set us up for trauma repetition in adulthood, affecting how we navigate relationships, the self, and the world. She pinpoints the toxic traits and behaviors of narcissistic mothers and fathers, exposing how covert abuse insidiously plays out in these specific dynamics. She offers the essential tools, skill sets, and healing modalities for survivors who have undergone a lifetime's worth of abuse, helping them to break the cycle once and for all for future generations.

    An award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a unique American tradition that was not imported. 
 
 
 
The origin story of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most common barbecue myths, the "Caribbean Origins Theory," which holds that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century. Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica, and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.
