    The burial practices of ancient Egypt evolved significantly over millennia, reflecting changes in religious beliefs, social structures, and technological advancements. These practices were rooted in the belief in an afterlife, where the preservation of the body and the provision of necessary items were vital. From simple pit burials to grand pyramid constructions, the evolution of Egyptian burial customs offers valuable insights into the cultural and spiritual life of the civilization. 
    In the Predynastic period, burial customs were relatively simple, consisting of shallow pits in the desert sand. The dry, arid environment naturally mummified the bodies, preserving them for millennia. These early graves often contained personal belongings, such as pottery, jewelry, and tools, indicating a belief in a life beyond death. The positioning of the bodies, typically in a fetal position, also suggests a symbolic return to the womb, possibly signifying rebirth. 
    As Egypt unified and entered the Early Dynastic period, burial practices became more elaborate. The development of mastabas marked a significant shift in tomb architecture. These rectangular structures, made of mudbrick or stone, featured underground burial chambers and an above-ground offering chapel. Mastabas were primarily used by the elite, symbolizing their status and wealth. The inclusion of false doors and serdab chambers, which housed statues of the deceased, reflected the belief that the soul could interact with the living through offerings and rituals.

    Your Shopping Superpower provides an insightful guide and strategies for shoppers to align the contents in their carts with their personal values. 
      
    Are there harmful toxins in your food and body care? Who makes the products you purchase and under what conditions? What impact does the production of these items have on the environment? If 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending, then every purchase we make has a physical and social impact on the world. Unfortunately, our shopping choices can unintentionally contribute to climate change and social injustice. Many people wish they could do more to combat these unjust and unsustainable outcomes. So what is the connection between our purchases and this impact? Your Shopping Superpower explores this important question and offers a comprehensive guide that navigates toward positive and sustainable shopping practices by providing pragmatic tips, tools and revealing how our habits can help reduce climate change, support companies with equitable workplace conditions, and foster diverse, local businesses. 
      
    Broken into categories including People, Planet, Community, and Health, Diane Osgood expands on key issues regarding climate degradation, labor exploitation, products containing carcinogens and toxins, and the importance of supporting local, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses while covering an array of products that include food, fashion, gifts, household items, and personal care. Addressing shoppers’ doubts about whether consumer choices truly have an impact and their concerns about costs and accessibility, Osgood shows how making these easy changes fosters happiness. With helpful diagrams and firsthand stories on climate and social injustice, Your Shopping Superpower informs and guides shoppers on how to: 
     Implement one change per weekIdentify trustworthy certifications, rating systems, and appsDetect greenwashing and other misleading marketingDetermine which purchases to switch for maximum impactHandle and approach choices that aren’t easy or affordable 
      
    By changing what we buy, we can initiate the change in our economy's environmental footprint and social impact. To enact change, we must start simple; it’s about progress, not perfection. 
      
    “This book doesn’t preach. … She persuaded me to start shopping more sustainably step by step to increase my economic impact. It made me happier. Sustainable shopping is not just about the environment. It’s also about helping humanity. I usually donate or recycle most of my books as soon as I finish reading them. This is one book I plan on keeping.”—Biruté Mary Galdikas, PhD, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and author
