Mummies and Magic - The...

Omar Khalil

Mummification is one of the most fascinating and iconic aspects of ancient Egyptian culture. The practice, rooted in both religious beliefs and practical preservation techniques, developed over thousands of years. Understanding the origins of mummification requires a look into early burial practices, the evolution of the methods used, and the profound spiritual significance behind this ancient tradition.
In the Predynastic period, before the rise of the Pharaohs, ancient Egyptians buried their dead directly in the hot, dry desert sands. The natural arid conditions acted as a primitive form of preservation, desiccating the bodies and preventing decomposition. These simple burials, often in shallow pits, led to accidental mummification as the desert sands rapidly absorbed moisture. Early communities likely noticed that bodies buried in this way remained intact, sparking the realization that dryness was key to preservation.
As Egyptian society evolved, so did burial practices. The transition from pit burials to more elaborate tombs posed new challenges, as the enclosed environments led to faster decomposition. To counter this, early experiments with artificial preservation began. Initially, these efforts were rudimentary, involving simple wrappings and the use of resins. Over time, embalmers refined their techniques, experimenting with salts, oils, and various substances to dry and protect the body. By the Old Kingdom period, the practice had transformed into a highly ritualized and sophisticated process.

Horace - Poet on a Volcano...

Peter Stothard

A biography of Horace, one of the most popular poets from antiquity, revealing the little-known man behind his famous lines 
 
 
  
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65–8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been read. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but. 
 
 
  
In this book, the first modern retelling of Horace's life, Peter Stothard follows the poet from his birth as the son of a formerly enslaved father through his rise to the highest circles of Roman society. He shines a light on how shattering experiences in the war to save Rome's republic shaped the loyal servant and revolutionary artist he became. With astute scholarship and sympathy, Stothard follows Horace's rise from humble beginnings to the social and political heights of the autocracy he had fought to prevent.

Rules - A Short History of What...

Lorraine Daston

Rules order almost every aspect of our lives. They set our work hours, dictate how we drive and set the table, tell us whether to offer an extended hand or cheek in greeting, and organize the rites of life, from birth through death. We may chafe under the rules we have, and yearn for ones we don't, yet no culture could do without them. In Rules, historian Lorraine Daston traces their development in the Western tradition and shows how rules have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived. 
 
 
 
Daston uncovers three enduring kinds of rules: the algorithms that calculate and measure, the laws that govern, and the models that teach. She illustrates how rules can change—how supple rules stiffen, or vice versa, and how once bothersome regulations become everyday norms. Rules have been devised for almost every imaginable activity and range from meticulous regulations to the laws of nature. Daston probes beneath this variety to investigate when rules work and when they don't, and why some philosophical problems about rules are as ancient as philosophy itself while others are as modern as calculating machines.
