Beschreibung

Cursed Pyramids explores the captivating legends surrounding ancient Egyptian pyramid curses, venturing beyond mere superstition to uncover historical and psychological roots. The book examines the surge of Egyptomania during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period when romanticized views of ancient civilizations fueled sensational narratives. It analyzes the historical timeline of publicized curses alongside major archaeological finds, offering a critical review of primary sources.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the history of pyramid construction and ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. It then chronologically explores major archaeological expeditions, like those involving Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon, scrutinizing available evidence and considering alternative explanations for misfortunes. Finally, it examines the psychological dimensions, such as the impact of fear and confirmation bias on perpetuating the belief in curses. It offers a balanced perspective that acknowledges the cultural significance of these beliefs while critically evaluating the evidence through an interdisciplinary approach.

    A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
     
     
     
    "Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
     
     
     
    "Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus

    This Must Be the Place explores how music can make cities better. 
     
     
     
    This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music's relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed, and governed. 
     
     
     
    Told in an accessible way through personal stories from cities around the world—including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, and Zurich—This Must Be the Place takes a truly global perspective on the ways music is integral to everyday life but neglected in public policy. 
     
     
     
    Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, This Must Be The Place not only examines the powerful impact music can have on our cities, but also serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists, and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in.

    A literary icon's "singular and beautiful" memoir of growing up as a first-generation Jewish American in Brownsville, Brooklyn (The New Yorker). 
     
     
      
    A classic portrait of immigrant life in the early decades of the twentieth century, A Walker in the City is a tour of tenements, subways, and synagogues—but also a universal story of the desires and fears we experience as we try to leave our small, familiar neighborhoods for something new. 
     
     
      
    With vivid imagery and sensual detail—the smell of half-sour pickles, the dry rattle of newspapers, the women in their shapeless flowered housedresses—Alfred Kazin recounts his boyhood walks through this working-class community, and his eventual foray across the river to "the city," the mysterious, compelling Manhattan, where treasures like the New York Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum beckoned. Eventually, he would travel even farther, building a life around books and language and literature and exploring all that the world had to offer.

    Why It's OK to Eat Meat

    In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle. 
     
     
     
    Key Features include: 
     
     
     
    ● First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience 
     
     
     
    ● Punchy, accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat 
     
     
     
    ● Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices 
     
     
     
    ● Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can't vindicate vegetarians' claims that there's a duty to avoid meat 
     
     
     
    ● Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues
