  Egyptian Science – Innovations and Discoveries of the Ancient World (3 in 1) offers a captivating dive into the scientific brilliance of ancient Egypt, revealing how a civilization often known for its mysticism was also a beacon of practical knowledge and invention. This collection highlights the remarkable advancements made by Egyptian scholars, physicians, engineers, and astronomers—centuries before many of these concepts reached the rest of the world. 
  The first section explores medicine and anatomy, showcasing how ancient Egyptian doctors performed surgeries, treated wounds, and understood diseases with a surprisingly systematic approach. Medical texts, herbal remedies, and anatomical observations formed the foundation of a health system deeply intertwined with both empirical knowledge and spiritual beliefs. 
  In the second section, readers uncover the mathematical and engineering feats that made the construction of monumental structures like pyramids and temples possible. Discover how Egyptians used geometry, surveying tools, and complex planning techniques to design precise buildings and manage the Nile’s life-giving floods. Their grasp of weights, measurements, and balance was essential to everything from agriculture to architecture. 
  The final section reveals the Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy and timekeeping. They charted celestial movements, created solar calendars, and aligned structures with astronomical events. Whether for agricultural cycles, religious ceremonies, or royal rituals, their scientific innovations were closely tied to their spiritual worldview. This volume shows how ancient Egypt’s legacy is not only in stone but also in knowledge that shaped civilizations to come.

  Urban Poverty and Inequality -...

  Urban poverty is a pervasive issue that affects millions of people living in cities worldwide. As cities continue to grow at an unprecedented rate, the number of urban poor continues to rise, with large portions of the population living in conditions of extreme deprivation. The term "urban poverty" refers to the situation where individuals and families in urban areas experience a lack of access to basic resources, such as adequate housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. Despite being situated in areas of economic activity and growth, urban poor populations face numerous challenges that contribute to their ongoing struggle for survival and upward mobility. 
  The growth of cities and urban centers has been accompanied by an increasing divide between the wealthy and the poor. While urban areas are often seen as hubs of opportunity, economic growth, and development, they also tend to highlight social and economic inequalities. Rapid urbanization, coupled with limited resources, leads to overcrowded slums, informal settlements, and a lack of infrastructure in many parts of cities. In such environments, the poor face challenges such as high unemployment rates, limited access to education, and poor healthcare services. These conditions create a cycle of poverty that is difficult to escape. 
  In addition, the urban poor are often excluded from key economic and social systems that would help alleviate their poverty. The concentration of wealth in urban centers disproportionately benefits the middle and upper classes, while marginalized communities remain on the periphery, unable to fully participate in the economic, political, and social life of the city. This growing inequality between different social classes exacerbates poverty and leaves the urban poor trapped in a cycle of disadvantage.

  Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
   
   
   
  In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
   
   
   
  Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
   
   
   
  Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.
