Pringle, Heather
The Mummy Congress: Science Obsession and the Everlasting Dead
NY: Hyperion. As New in As New dust jacket. 2001. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0786865512 . When acclaimed science journalist Heather Pringle was dispatched to a remote part of northern Chile to cover a little-known scientific conference she found herself in the midst of the most passionate gathering of her working life -- dozens of mummy experts lodged in a rambling seaside hotel battling over the implications of their latest discoveries. Infected with their mania Pringle spent the next year circling the globe stopping in to visit the leading scientists so she could see firsthand the breathtaking delicacy and unexpected importance of their work. In The Mummy Congress she recounts the intriguing findings from her travels bringing to life the hitherto unknown worlds of the long-dead and revealing what mummies have to tell us about ourselves. Pringle's journeys lead her to the lifelike remains of medieval saints entombed in Italy's grand cathedrals eerily preserved bog bodies in the Netherlands bearing signs of violent and untimely slaughter and frozen Inca princess glimpsed for the first time atop icy mountains. She learns of the extraordinary skills of ancient Egyptian embalmers capable of preserving bodies in the words of one mummy expert "until the end of time"; of the horrifying sacrifices made by ancient South Americans to pacify their gods; and of the weird mummified parasites preserved in the guts of millennia-old bodies that still wreak havoc across the world today. Ranging from the famous excavation of Tutankhamen to tales of ascetic Japanese monks trying to mummify themselves and from the Russians' terrified attempts to embalm the body of Stalin to the fleeting craze for public mummy unwrappings in nineteenth-century New Orleans The Mummy Congress demonstrates that our own obsession with the preserved dead has a long and bizarre history. Packed with extraordinary stories and narrated with great humor and verve The Mummy Congress is a compelling and entertaining journey into the world of the everlasting dead. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket now in Mylar are in perfect pristine condition; unread unmarked tight square and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. Color Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 288 pp .

David Ayalon
Gunpowder and Firearms in the Mamluk Kingdom : a challenge to a medieval Society
London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1978. The introduction of firearms into the Muslim world is a subject which few scholars have ventured to scrutinise in detail. In this work therefore Professor Ayalon has sought to fill this gap on the basis of material supplied by chroniclers of the Mamluk Kingdom. Having established the first certain date when the Mamluks used gunpowder the author devotes some attention to fixing the meaning of technical terms. The main part of the work however is dedicated to the fascinating study of the human aspect of the problem: how the highly organized and stylised world of Mamluk chivalry displayed a bitter resentment towards the new weapon which it so rightly saw as a threat to its whole way of life. Not only is this study an important contribution to the highly specialised field with which it deals but for the less specialized historian the analysis of the role which firearms play in establishing the destiny of the Middle East is full of interest. For the general reader too conscious of the unhappiness which the new and terrible weapons of our own time have sown among professional soldiers the world over there are numerous fascinating parallels in the story which Dr. Ayalon unfolds. 154pp inc index etc. A LOVELY COPY FINE MEANS FINE! Like NEW to the non bookseller! .This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED UK ONLY . Please email for further details. Not Signed or Inscribed. This is the Second Edition 1978.

Hawass, Zahi
Valley of the Golden Mummies
NY: Harry N. Abrams. As New in As New dust jacket. 2000. 0 To Be Determined. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0810939428 . An exploration highlighted by hundreds of colorful photographs of an incredible archaeological find in Egypt from the excavation's director discusses the hundreds of mummies many wearing gold masks that have been found and explains the find's historical significance. The richly illustrated text also provides a detailed account of the work of modern Egyptologists who accord their subjects a respect not often shown by earlier generations of field workers; as Hawass remarks "We always treat a mummy as if it were still a person just as we would hope to be treated ourselves in similar circumstances." It's an altogether fascinating excursion into long-ago times. --Gregory McNamee. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect pristine condition; unread unmarked tight square and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. Color Photographs. 4to 11" - 13" tall. 224 pp . Harry N.
