"In March 1960 the United Arab Republic appealed to the world through the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO to send archeologists to Nubia in order to save the antiquities - discovered or undiscovered - threatened with destruction by submersion under the great new lake to be created by the High Dam under construction on the Nile south of Aswan. The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago was one of the first institutions to respond. Before March was ended a team was in Cairo arranging for the use of a boat to make a hasty preliminary survey of the Nile Valley in Egyptian Nubia in order to select sites and plan field operations. A four-year concession was granted from 1960 to 1964. The initial plans for areas to be surveyed excavated changed a few times as documented in the preface and the project eventually recorded materials in several areas from Abu Simbel south into the Sudan."

This is a powerful and ever relevant history of the development and evolution of the concept and adoption of the tenets of freedom of the press. "The French Revolution led to modern democracy. Terms like left-wing and right-wing revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements freedom censorship and silencing intellectual discourse were introduced and remain relevant. The texts of Condorcet 1776 and Bonald 1826 allow us to comprehend the debate that occurred in those times. Historian Albert Corbeto provides a background for the facts and contrasts them recounting from a neutral standpoint the historical events that had a substantial impact on French and European society. There are many parallels between the past and present controversies. In today's geopolitically volatile world there is a renewed and disturbing discussion about the nature and limits of various liberties including freedom of the press.The French Revolution led to modern democracy. Terms like left-wing and right-wing revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements freedom censorship and silencing intellectual discourse were introduced and remain relevant."
