  The Inventions of Ancient Egypt...

  Ancient Egypt's writing systems stand as a testament to human ingenuity and cultural expression. The development of writing marked a pivotal point in Egyptian civilization, allowing for the documentation of history, religion, and daily life. Among the most significant inventions were hieroglyphs, which evolved into more simplified forms such as hieratic and demotic scripts. These writing systems not only served practical purposes but also played a crucial role in shaping Egypt’s legacy. 
  The invention of hieroglyphs can be traced back to around 3100 BCE. These symbols, composed of pictorial and phonetic elements, were carved into stone monuments and written on papyrus scrolls. Hieroglyphs were primarily used for religious texts, inscriptions on temples, and royal decrees. The complexity and beauty of this script were not just artistic but symbolic, as each symbol held both sound and meaning. Hieroglyphic writing required skilled scribes, who underwent rigorous training to master the hundreds of characters used in various contexts. 
  Over time, the need for quicker, more practical writing gave rise to hieratic script, a simplified and cursive form of hieroglyphs. Hieratic was used mainly for administrative and literary texts, allowing scribes to write more efficiently on papyrus. This new form retained the symbolic power of hieroglyphs but adapted to the demands of record-keeping and correspondence. As hieratic became more widespread, it bridged the gap between the formal, ceremonial writing of hieroglyphs and the everyday needs of administration and commerce.

  Yorkshire's past is replete with bloody battles and sieges. From the earliest times armies have marched across the Yorkshire countryside and have fought for control of the land, the towns and the cities. Roman, Viking, Norman and the Scottish invaders have all contributed ruthless episodes to the story. Christian fought pagan, Englishman fought foreign invader, and loyalist fought rebel, in some of the most destructive battles of British history. And bitter internal conflicts, which set neighbour against neighbour, created an equally violent heritage as rival lords and landowners contended for power and influence in the north. David Cooke gives a vivid description of the outbreaks of warfare that have punctuated the county's history. Using graphic contemporary accounts and numerous illustrations and maps, he creates a vivid narrative of a county that was a battleground until modern times.

  Rising Powers Shrinking Planet -...

  From the author of the now-classic Resource Wars, an indispensable account of how the world's diminishing sources of energy are radically changing the international balance of powerRecently, an unprecedented Chinese attempt to acquire the major American energy firm Unocal was blocked by Congress amidst hysterical warnings of a Communist threat. But the political grandstanding missed a larger point: the takeover bid was a harbinger of a new structure of world power, based not on market forces or on arms and armies but on the possession of vital natural resources.Surveying the energy-driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape, Michael Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, forecasts a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger. World leaders are now facing the stark recognition that all materials vital for the functioning of modern industrial societies (not just oil and natural gas but uranium, coal, copper, and others) are finite and being depleted at an ever-accelerating rate. As a result, governments rather than corporations are increasingly spearheading the pursuit of resources. In a radically altered world— where Russia is transformed from battered Cold War loser to arrogant broker of Eurasian energy, and the United States is forced to compete with the emerging "Chindia" juggernaut—the only route to survival on a shrinking planet, Klare shows, lies through international cooperation.Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet surveys the energy-driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape, and argues that the only route to survival in our radically altered world lies through international cooperation."Klare's superb book explains, in haunting detail, the trends that will lead us into a series of dangerous traps unless we muster the will to transform the way we use energy." -- Bill McKibben
