Download or read book 100 Hieroglyphs written by Barry Kemp and published by Granta Publications. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Written by the greatest living Egyptologist, this wonderful, fun, and short book will take you inside the heads of the ancient Egyptians.”—Sarah Parcak, National Geographic Egyptian culture is divided from us by several millennia, a lost people and a dead language. We can discover much about this fascinating civilization from its physical remains, but perhaps the greatest insights into the Egyptian mind come from Egyptian hieroglyphs. They reveal the priorities, concerns and beliefs of the Egyptians—a whole worldview. Unlike the Western alphabet, which is an arbitrary set of symbols not anchored in reality, each Egyptian hieroglyph denotes a concept central to Egyptian thinking. The language and its written form are intimately bound up with the imaginative world of the Egyptians. Here, Barry Kemp presents 100 of the Egyptian hieroglyphs to provide access to this unique culture. Kemp takes us on a journey through the Egyptian mind, revealing not only aspects of day-to-day life in Ancient Egypt, but gradually building a picture of the historical and mythological references that were the cornerstones of Egyptian thought. This fascinating book helps us get inside a long-vanished world. “A capsule key to the ancient Egyptian mind.”—Dr. Norman Hammond, The Times “Kemp uses 100 hieroglyphs as a springboard for discussion of a range of topics . . . This clever premise works well . . . [an] enjoyable and informative volume.”—Times Higher Education Supplement “This is most certainly a book that will challenge and reward.”—New World
Book Synopsis Count Like an Egyptian by : David Reimer
Download or read book Count Like an Egyptian written by David Reimer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively collection of fun and challenging problems in ancient Egyptian math The mathematics of ancient Egypt was fundamentally different from our math today. Contrary to what people might think, it wasn't a primitive forerunner of modern mathematics. In fact, it can’t be understood using our current computational methods. Count Like an Egyptian provides a fun, hands-on introduction to the intuitive and often-surprising art of ancient Egyptian math. David Reimer guides you step-by-step through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. He even shows you how fractions and decimals may have been calculated—they technically didn’t exist in the land of the pharaohs. You’ll be counting like an Egyptian in no time, and along the way you’ll learn firsthand how mathematics is an expression of the culture that uses it, and why there’s more to math than rote memorization and bewildering abstraction. Reimer takes you on a lively and entertaining tour of the ancient Egyptian world, providing rich historical details and amusing anecdotes as he presents a host of mathematical problems drawn from different eras of the Egyptian past. Each of these problems is like a tantalizing puzzle, often with a beautiful and elegant solution. As you solve them, you’ll be immersed in many facets of Egyptian life, from hieroglyphs and pyramid building to agriculture, religion, and even bread baking and beer brewing. Fully illustrated in color throughout, Count Like an Egyptian also teaches you some Babylonian computation—the precursor to our modern system—and compares ancient Egyptian mathematics to today’s math, letting you decide for yourself which is better.

Book Synopsis If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English by : Noor Naga
Download or read book If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English written by Noor Naga and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Winner of the 2023 Arab American Book Award for Fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize Shortlisted for the 2023 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Shortlisted for the 2022 VCU Cabell First Novelist Award Winner of the Graywolf Press African Fiction Prize, a lush experimental novel about love as a weapon of empire. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, an Egyptian American woman and a man from the village of Shobrakheit meet at a café in Cairo. He was a photographer of the revolution, but now finds himself unemployed and addicted to cocaine, living in a rooftop shack. She is a nostalgic daughter of immigrants “returning” to a country she’s never been to before, teaching English and living in a light-filled flat with balconies on all sides. They fall in love and he moves in. But soon their desire—for one another, for the selves they want to become through the other—takes a violent turn that neither of them expected. A dark romance exposing the gaps in American identity politics, especially when exported overseas, If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is at once ravishing and wry, scathing and tender. Told in alternating perspectives, Noor Naga’s experimental debut examines the ethics of fetishizing the homeland and punishing the beloved . . . and vice versa. In our globalized twenty-first-century world, what are the new faces (and races) of empire? When the revolution fails, how long can someone survive the disappointment? Who suffers and, more crucially, who gets to tell about it?

Download or read book To Wish Upon a Roman written by Ishabelle Torry and published by Ishabelle Torry. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient Roman general. A modern-day antique dealer. One salacious bargain. Antique dealer Lucy Brady is enamored with the past and spends her days surrounded by vintage goodies and historic baubles. But she never imagined she’d be staring down a living, breathing ancient Roman from her sofa. After inheriting a mysterious locket which comes with an ominous warning, she ignores age old superstition and inadvertently summons a dark and scarred warrior from the 4thcentury. When he demands freedom from her tyrannous bloodline, Lucy is certain she’s being pranked, and agrees—with one shocking condition—he becomes her sex slave for two whole weeks. “Although I cannot bring the dead to the living, I can bring the living to the dead.” Entrapped for seventeen hundred years, General Hadrian Marias longs for freedom and the chance to reunite with the reincarnated soul of his long-lost wife. But what he discovers upon being released into the modern world is Lucy—the lavender eyed descendant of the very Celtic witch who’d cursed him centuries before. He should hate her, but something about Lucy soothes his angry soul. So when she offers him the deal of many lifetimes, he can’t refuse. Hadrian and Lucy’s fierce attraction—and growing bond—puts them at risk of heartache as eras collide and an ancient curse comes to fruition… If you’re a fan of time travel, magic, cursed lovers, ancient heroes, and steamy romance, you’ll love To Wish Upon a Roman, the first book in the To Wish Upon an Ancient series.
