  Ahhh, the modern workplace: a cauldron of stress and anxiety. From the moment we accept a new role, we’re thrown into a world of competing personalities, shifting protocols, and an endless stream of emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls, all of which serve to distract us from the things we truly want to be doing, like eating Thai food and sleeping until noon. 
  I Hope This Email Finds You Never puts aside the motivational screeds, productivity hacks, and pop-science, and focuses instead on those things in the workplace that truly cause us grief—like a coworker eating an apple during a video call—in a lighthearted, entertaining, and (most importantly) cynical way. 
  Some things you’ll learn:How long you can get away with being “new” until you’re held accountableHow to make it look like you’re sorry without giving up any powerHow to find a workplace friend and make a workplace enemyCamera position: how to set up your laptop for maximum dominanceOrganizing your calendar while leaving time to cryThe rules of the kitchen (stealing someone’s yogurt is literally a crime)Writing a letter of resignation when you’ve already been resigned from day one 
    
  From Orientation (The Descent), Workplace Etiquette (No Eye Contact Before 11 AM), Working Remotely (Wink Wink), Coworkers (Getting Along with your fellow inmates), and everything in between, I Hope This Email Finds You Never is your must-have guide to surviving (thriving is not realistic) in the modern workplace.

  It began with an advertisement in The Times: 'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small; exceptional fishing; room two more guns.' Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed lost city in the Amazon and were never seen again. This expedition was too much of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a
  reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something very personal and deeply testing 'for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery.' Fleming recounts it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and honesty.

  Egyptian Military Leaders -...

  The military strength of ancient Egypt was a defining factor in its ability to expand and sustain one of the most enduring civilizations in history. From its early beginnings, Egypt developed a structured and disciplined military that evolved to meet the challenges posed by both internal conflicts and foreign threats. The foundation of this power lay in the organization of its armed forces, the strategic leadership of its rulers, and the continual advancement of its weaponry and tactics. 
  In the early periods, Egypt's military was primarily a defensive force, focused on protecting the fertile Nile Valley from nomadic raiders. The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer marked a crucial turning point, as military conquest became a tool for political consolidation. The pharaohs not only ruled as divine monarchs but also acted as supreme military commanders, leading their armies into battle and overseeing large-scale campaigns. This dual role reinforced their authority and ensured that military success translated into political stability. 
  One of the key factors in Egypt’s military rise was its ability to adapt to new technologies and strategies. During the Second Intermediate Period, Egypt faced the Hyksos, a foreign power that introduced advanced chariot warfare and superior composite bows. Instead of being permanently subdued, the Egyptians learned from their enemies, incorporating these innovations into their own forces. This adaptation played a crucial role in the expulsion of the Hyksos and the rise of the New Kingdom, during which Egypt became an empire with far-reaching influence.
