  The Middle Kingdom of Egypt marked a transformative period following the turmoil of the First Intermediate Period. This era, spanning roughly from 2050 to 1710 BCE, saw the reunification of Egypt under the leadership of Mentuhotep II, the pharaoh who established stability after years of political fragmentation. As the nation emerged from chaos, the Middle Kingdom laid the foundations for a revitalized state, fostering political, cultural, and economic growth. 
  The collapse of the Old Kingdom had left Egypt divided, with rival factions vying for control. This power vacuum led to the rise of regional rulers known as nomarchs, whose increasing autonomy weakened central authority. The struggle for dominance between these local leaders marked the First Intermediate Period, characterized by instability and fragmented governance. However, the emergence of Mentuhotep II, a ruler from Thebes, marked a turning point. Determined to restore order, he led a series of military campaigns to reunite Upper and Lower Egypt. His victory over the Herakleopolitan kings signified the dawn of a new era. 
  Reunification under Mentuhotep II not only consolidated political power but also reestablished the role of the pharaoh as a central figure of authority. As the unifier of Egypt, Mentuhotep II portrayed himself as the restorer of ma'at—harmony and justice. His reign marked the beginning of the 11th Dynasty and set a precedent for strong, centralized rule. The restoration of internal stability allowed for significant cultural and artistic developments, reflecting a renewed sense of national identity.

  Four Chancellors and a Funeral -...

  The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
   
  Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
   
  From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
   
  Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

  The Wood That Built London - A...

  It is hard to imagine that the busy townscape of South London was once a great wood, stretching almost seven miles from Croydon to Deptford or that, scattered through the suburbs, from Dulwich to Norwood, a number of oak woodlands have survived since before the Norman Conquest. These woods were intensively managed for a thousand years, providing timber for construction, furniture and shipbuilding, and charcoal for London's blacksmiths, kilns and bakeries. Now they afford important green space, a vital habitat for small mammals, birds and insects. 
   
  Drawing on a wealth of documents, historic maps and environmental evidence, The Wood That Built London charts the fortunes of the North Wood from its earliest times: its ecology, ownership, management, and the gradual encroachment of the metropolis.
