    As the world recently commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, our fascination with the pharaoh begs for a balanced view. Most recovered mummies have not escaped the modern trafficking in ancient bodies and body parts. The story of Ankh-Hap, a Ptolemaic-era mummy seized in the nineteenth century from the infamous mummy-pits of Egypt, provides a salutary example of what most mummies have endured. 
     
     
     
    Frank Holt makes use of a robust combination of scientific tools and archival research to tell the story of Ankh-Hap's life, death, and his mummified remains, which ended up in the back of an American college classroom. A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits takes the listener into a forgotten world of mummy trafficking by an American entrepreneur named Henry Augustus Ward. His company's shelves were stocked with mummies, coffins, and even ancient body parts. Customers could piece together their own "Frankenmummy" with authentic wrappings and amulets. 
     
     
     
    A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits contextualizes this information by surveying the history of similar mummies from antiquity to the twentieth century, moving from ancient tomb robbers and medieval apothecaries to modern dime museums, traveling shows, pulp fiction, films, and pop culture. The book offers listeners a glimpse inside a dark chapter of mummy history.

    This book contains 3 titles, which are about the following topics: 
    Japan's Surrender: The Pacific theater of World War II was a brutal and protracted conflict, defined by fierce battles, shifting strategies, and immense human cost. By 1945, the war had entered its final stages, with the Allied forces, led primarily by the United States, gradually gaining the upper hand over Imperial Japan. The end of the Pacific War seemed inevitable, yet the path to Japan's surrender was far from straightforward. The road to victory in the Pacific involved a combination of military ingenuity, strategic alliances, and significant geopolitical shifts. However, the culmination of this path was not solely the result of battlefield victories but also of profound shifts in the political, economic, and moral considerations of both the Japanese leadership and the Allied powers. 
    Pearl Harbor: The path to the attack on Pearl Harbor was paved by years of escalating tension between Japan, the United States, and other global powers. By the 1930s, Japan had increasingly pursued aggressive territorial expansion in Asia. The country sought to secure resources to fuel its growing industrial machine, leading to its invasion of China and the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This expansionist ideology put Japan on a collision course with Western powers, particularly the United States, who had significant economic interests in the Pacific region. 
    The Pacific Theater: The Pacific Theater of World War II was the culmination of decades of tension, territorial disputes, and ideological differences between Japan and the Allied Powers, particularly the United States. The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Japan’s rise as an imperial power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    First published as a print collection in 1992, when the writer lived in the UK, Rotten Pomerack now - with “voiceprint” - more clearly presents the writer’s voice and instinct for storytelling. Poem stories move from the Caribbean and other places to the UK, often examining the paradoxes and complexities of existence. For the print publication, Michael Horowitz commented that the collection was about “the proverbial slipping on a ‘rotten pomerack’ (French Creole for the cashew fruit) which can make events take an unexpected turn.
