  The Art of the Pharaohs -...

  Ancient Egyptian art is one of the most iconic and influential art forms in history. Spanning over three millennia, it provides a deep insight into the culture, religion, and beliefs of ancient Egyptian society. The art of Egypt is characterized by its symbolic use of colors, the strict adherence to formal rules of representation, and its focus on the afterlife. It was primarily created for religious, funerary, and commemorative purposes, serving as a medium to honor the gods and pharaohs, as well as to ensure a successful passage into the afterlife for the deceased. 
  The origins of Egyptian art can be traced back to the early dynastic periods, where it evolved in response to both religious needs and political structures. As the power of the pharaohs grew, so did the complexity and grandeur of Egyptian art. The early works were heavily influenced by the religious beliefs that governed life and death. Art was not seen as a form of personal expression but rather as a tool to serve divine and societal purposes. The rigid style and symbolic representations seen in Egyptian art reflect the culture's focus on order, permanence, and the divine, rather than individualism or naturalism. 
  Key materials used in Egyptian art included stone, wood, and metals, often adorned with vibrant pigments. The Egyptians were skilled in creating sculptures, jewelry, and paintings that survived for thousands of years due to their mastery of preservation techniques. The most recognizable aspects of Egyptian art include the distinctive posture and proportions in their sculptures, as well as the use of vibrant, symbolic colors in their paintings. These works were often intended for tombs, temples, and other sacred spaces, ensuring the continued favor of the gods and providing a connection to the divine realm.

  As Adolph Hitler rose to power in 1930s Germany, a growing wave of fascism began to take root on American soil. Nazi activists started to gather in major American cities, and by 1933, there were more than one-hundred anti-Semitic groups operating openly in the United States. Few Americans dared to speak out or fight back—until an organized resistance of notorious mobsters waged their own personal war against the Nazis in their midst. Gangland-style . . .  
   
   
    
  In this thrilling blow-by-blow account, acclaimed crime writer Michael Benson uncovers the shocking truth about the insidious rise of Nazism in America—and the Jewish mobsters who stomped it out. 
   
   
    
  Packed with surprising, little-known facts, graphic details, and unforgettable personalities, Gangsters vs. Nazis chronicles the mob's most ruthless tactics in taking down fascism—inspiring ordinary Americans to join them in their fight.

  On Antisemitism - Solidarity and...

  When the State of Israel claims to represent all Jewish people, defenders of Israeli policy redefine antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Antisemitism is harmful and real in our society. What must also be addressed is how the deployment of false charges of antisemitism or redefining antisemitism can suppress the global progressive fight for justice. There is no one definitive voice on antisemitism and its impact. 
   
   
   
  Jewish Voice for Peace has curated a collection of essays that provides a diversity of perspectives and standpoints. Each contribution explores critical questions concerning uses and abuses of antisemitism in the twenty-first-century, focusing on the intersection between antisemitism, accusations of antisemitism, and Palestinian human rights activism. 
   
   
   
  This anthology provides a much-needed tool for Palestinian solidarity activists, teachers, as well as Jewish communities. Featuring contributions from Omar Barghouti, Judith Butler, and Rebecca Vilkomerson, as well as activists, academics, students, and cultural workers, On Political Solidarity and Justice includes the voices of Palestinian students and activists, and Jews that are often marginalized in mainstream discussions of antisemitism, including Jews of Color and Sephardi/Mizrahi Jews.

  In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of the first acts since World War II to be legally defined as genocide. Two years later, Clea Koff, a twenty-three-year-old forensic anthropologist, left the safe confines of a lab in Berkeley, California, to serve as one of sixteen scientists chosen by the United Nations to unearth the physical evidence of the Rwandan genocide. Over the next four years, Koff’s grueling investigations took her across geography synonymous with some of the worst crimes of the twentieth century. The Bone Woman is Koff’s unflinching, riveting account of her seven UN missions to Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, and Rwanda, as she shares what she saw, how it affected her, who was prosecuted based on evidence she found, and what she learned about the world. Yet even as she recounts the hellish nature of her work and the heartbreak of the survivors, she imbues her story with purpose, humanity, and a sense of justice. A tale of science in service of human rights, The Bone Woman is, even more profoundly, a story of hope and enduring moral principles.
