Howard Carter (1874 1939) was an English archaeologist and
Egyptologist, now renowned for discovering the tomb of the pharaoh
Tutankhamun. Published between 1923 and 1933, this three-volume
study contains Carter's detailed account of the sensational
discovery, excavation and clearance of Tutankhamun's tomb and its
treasures. The tomb was almost fully intact when discovered and
remains the most complete burial discovered in the Valley of the
Kings. Each volume of Carter's book is richly illustrated with over
100 photographs of the tomb and objects found in it, showing their
original state and how they appeared after reconstruction. Carter's
meticulous recording and conservation techniques are faithfully
documented in his account, providing a vivid and engaging
description of the work which occurred during the excavation of
this famous site. Volume 2 describes the second and third seasons,
including the opening of the pharaoh's triple coffin and the
examination of his mummy.
"The book should be required reading for every clinician, medical
student, social worker, and therapist who cares for injured
patients, and especially for those who care for burned patients. It
also should be made widely available in bookstores for anyone who
has empathy for the ill and infirm or curiosity about
burns."--"Journal of the American Medical Association" Although
medical advances have remarkably increased the survival rate of the
severely burned, such patients still encounter physical and
psychological pain and disability, disfigurement, and social
rejection. "Rising from the Flames" examines the experience of the
severely burned as survivors confront it, not just as a medical
event but as a human ordeal involving social, cultural,
psychological, and medical trauma. It discusses the causes of
burns, the physiology of injury and healing, the forms of isolation
burn patients endure, and the cultural meaning attached to burns
and burned persons.

confronts the truth, a grieving mother holds onto a deadly memento

Lou Morgan. A smugglers’ inn on the Cornish coast in the 18th
Century is under attack. Never do a deal with the Excise Men. 12.2
Harvest of the Krotons by James Goss. What are the Krotons? Why are
they running a health spa? Jackie Tyler and River Song investigate,
because everyone needs a direction point. 12.3 Dead Man Talking by
Tim Foley. Among the wreckage of the planet Earth, an old lady
treasures a terrible relic that reminds her of her son. River Song
has come to take it away. 12.4 The Wife of River Song by Lizzie
Hopley. River Song is on an expedition seeking the Hive. Her sister
is trapped in the ruins of the Hive. River Song is on honeymoon.
