How Catastrophe Transformed Our World and Can Forge New Futures

Video Games and the Humanities

This volume is the first to focus on the presentation of Ancient Egypt in video games. The contributions examine diverse topics concerning how Egyptian history, culture, monuments, and the land itself are portrayed across a diverse range of game genres. Over forty years of video games are analysed, including those from well-known franchises (Assassin's Creed; Tomb Raider), as well as those from independent developers. The games studied employ Ancient Egypt in different ways, as the main historical setting of the game, as the inspiration for the game's world, or as a point of reference for specific aspects of the game. Contributions by game designers from Oneiric Studios also reveal the motivations for using Egypt as the source for their game design and narrative (Path of Ra). The number of games discussed in this volume and their diversity demonstrates the important role that games play in shaping the popular imagination of Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt in Video Games

'An intriguing exploration of withdrawal and solitude'&nbsp;Daily Telegraph&nbsp;'Stagg writes masterfully' The TimesWhat do we gain and what do we lose when we step back from the world?&nbsp;Guy Stagg follows in the footsteps of three extraordinary twentieth-century figures who withdrew during moments of crisis: Ludwig Wittgenstein, David Jones and Simone Weil.&nbsp;Blending history, travel, biography and a moving personal story, The World Within examines how retreat can save a life or transform a creative practice. It asks why the idea of retreat still enchants people to this day and hints at how each one of us can find a sanctuary of our own. 'Stagg writes well and brightly about all he encounters'&nbsp;Observer'A readable book that looks at how three people tried to live at the extreme edge of the human spirit'&nbsp;Literary Review'Remarkable . . . Stagg, too, is on a journey, which is what makes his books so attractive and accessible'&nbsp;The Tablet'In an age riddled with noise and distraction,&nbsp;The World Within&nbsp;feels timely. It reminds us that silence and solitude are vital for self-discovery' Press Association

The World Within

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

Although some businesses have developed strategies for managing short-term disruptions, many do not have systems or resources in place for the long-term consequence management of catastrophic events that could lead to failure. This book is unique in that it gives practical, concise guidelines to the corporate manager in the event of any crisis or physical catastrophe, from a kidnapping to a collapsing building, that creates long term effects for business property, employees or customers.

North Korea is perhaps the most intriguing, infamous and enigmatic nation of our modern world. Yet how many of us know its full history, and how it came to be? How can we understand such a strange, isolated state? This new edition seeks to provide some answers to these questions. Starting with its origins in the colonial period, Michael J Seth masterfully traces how North Korea transformed itself from a Soviet-style socialist state to the ultra-nationalist, dynastic dictatorship of the 21st century. Born from 20th century Korea's struggles to regain autonomy and achieve modernization, this book follows the story of how a single Korea with a shared ethnic and cultural heritage, evolved into radically different societies. From the birth of the DPRK, through economic collapse, famine and failed revolution, it illuminates North Korea's journey with an engaging understanding of the political, ideological, economic and social forces at play. This edition has been updated to examine recent developments in Korean history, up until 2025, and has analysed over sixty new publications from leading academics. It also incorporates the experiences of prominent North Korean women and analyses the everyday life of ordinary North Koreans, as well as the country's leaders. Seth also uses his expertise to analyse and put more emphasis on Inter-Korean relations Following the evolution of this uncommon nation, North Korea: A History uses the past to answer questions about the present, and above all shows North Korea as a society with a hard-working, long-suffering population who have made great sacrifices in the hopes for a better future. North Korea: A History is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

Nur im Museum ist es möglich, in wenigen Schritten Milliarden Jahre Evolution, Menschheits- oder&nbsp;Technikgeschichte hinter sich zu bringen. Auf dem Weg durch Raum und Zeit stellt dieses&nbsp;Buch auf kurzweilige Art Museen und das in ihnen präsentierte Wissen vor. In mehr als zwanzig Stationen geht es vom&nbsp;Urknall über die Entstehung der Erde und des Lebens, zur Gründung erster Königreiche, zu Kleopatra, Luther und&nbsp;den Menschenrechten, zu Napoleon, Computern und dem Klimawandel.&nbsp;Es geht aber auch um die Museen selbst (ab dieser 3. Auflage ist übrigens auch eines aus Österreich dabei), ihre Entstehungsgeschichten und oft exzentrischen Gründer – von denen sich einer inmitten seiner Ausstellungsfläche begraben ließ und dort noch immer liegt.In diesem Buch vergehen (fast) 14 Milliarden Jahre wie im Flug.Der AutorGideon Böss
 &nbsp;ist Journalist und Autor. Er veröffentlicht regelmäßig Artikel in namhaften Zeitungen und Magazinen wie Spiegel, Cicero oder Focus, zudem schreibt er Sachbücher, Romane und Theaterstücke. Mit „Deutschland, Deine Götter" publizierte er ein kurzweiliges Buch zur religiösen Vielfalt in Deutschland. Danach folgten&nbsp;der Bestseller „Schatz, wir werden reich (vielleicht)" über die großen Glücksversprechen im Kapitalismus sowie der Titel „Weihnachten, ein Fest packt aus - Die Autobiografie", der u.a. zeigt, dass dieses heute so beliebte Fest lange Zeit hinweg ein Schattendasein fristete.

'Brilliant and discursive'Antonia Fraser, Sunday TimesWinner of the FAWCETT PRIZEand EMILY TOTH AWARDIn the 2000 years since her death Cleopatra has been re-created over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B.De Mille she was 'the wickedest woman in history'.This book is about the real Cleopatra, the most powerful woman in her world, but also about the legion of imaginary Cleopatras and about the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.

This anthology explores the fruitful encounters between deities and humans, drawing on a broad spectrum of research and discoveries ranging from ancient Levantine archaeology and iconography to history. It also includes studies from Assyriology and Egyptology as well as several contributions from Hebrew Bible studies, New Testament studies, Jewish studies as well as from dogmatic and practical theology. Taking Angelika Berlejung's 2021-article "Refreshed Cultic Kisses: Forms of Encounter Between Gods and Humans" as a starting point, this anthology deepens our understanding of how fruitful encounters between deities and humans have looked like in the past or may look like today.

Cultic Kisses

A nation on the cusp of war. A king ousted from his capital by the people. A society on the brink of collapse. From Jonathan Healey comes a gripping history about the months that sent England into civil war 'An old-fashioned Westminster thriller . . . You could hardly find a more engrossing or exciting story' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES 'A rollicking history, packed with fire and excitement *****' DANIEL BROOKS, TELEGRAPH 'The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last' LITERARY REVIEW After years of tension between a king and his people, in 1641 England reaches a semblance of peace. Armies have disbanded, legislation has passed to ensure Parliament will continue to sit, and the people are tentatively optimistic. Radical politicians congratulate themselves on a stunning political victory. Royal servants are coming to accept an altered future. Then comes winter. With it, chaos, protests, political deadlock, and eventually a remarkable attempt by King Charles I to destroy his opponents. On 4 January 1642 Charles marches on the small riverside city of Westminster at the head of an army, seeking to arrest five Members of Parliament. In doing so, he sets in motion a series of events that will lead to bloodshed and war, changing a nation forever. Why did the English Civil War break out? The Blood in Winter tells the story of an English people's great political awakening, and of a nation that splintered into bloodshed at a terrifying speed. Jonathan Healey recreates the claustrophobic atmosphere of the day, with rowdy protestors in the streets and London blanketed in coal smoke. It is a story of remarkable but flawed characters, all faced with unpalatable choices, and a frightening picture of a society in profound distress.
