This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Professor Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on human remains, reassessments of ancient texts and modern experimental archaeology, it attempts to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: how did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made? Leading experts in their fields combine traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific approaches to ancient material. The result is a cutting-edge overview of the discipline, showing how it has developed over the last forty years and yet how many of its big questions remain the same. -- .

How did our minds evolve? Can evolutionary considerations illuminate the question of the basic architecture of the human mind? These are two of the main questions addressed in Evolution and the Human Mind by a distinguished interdisciplinary team of philosophers, psychologists, anthropologists and archaeologists. The volume will be of great interest to all researchers and students interested in the evolution and nature of the mind.

The amazing life story of former triad gang member Kim Goh. I put the gun to my head, closed my eyes and I pulled the trigger.' For Kim Goh, caught up in a triangle of gang culture and drugs, this was just one of many life threatening situations. A successful businessman by the age of eighteen, Kim Goh's violent pursuits and ability to con people kept him from settling in countries for long. From Thailand to Minorca, New York to Switzerland, his life became more chaotic and restless as he indulged in gambling, drugs, alcohol and sex. Climbing his way up the career ladder of a UK triad, Kim soon found that his volatile nature and anger perpetuated caused his behaviour to spiral out of control with devastating consequences. A gripping tale of a man searching for meaning, and of a God whose intervention is both dramatic and life changing. -Publisher.
