Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the ancient realm of Egypt, this book unveils the fascinating world of Old Egyptian librarians. It reveals the existence of 21 named librarians who lived over 500 years before the famed library of Assurbanipal, shedding light on their lives from thousands of years ago through inscriptions and papyrus records. The author argues for the significance of these librarians as central figures in Egyptian society, holding positions of high esteem and often rising to positions of power, even becoming viziers and a king. By studying the roles of these individuals, the book illuminates the philosophy of books and libraries in ancient Egypt, exploring the profound reverence for the god of knowledge and writing, Thoth, whose principles of justice and righteousness served as ideals for librarians. The author delves into the mythological and historical context of Thoth and Seshait, the goddess of libraries, revealing their multifaceted nature as personifications of expressions and cosmic forces. Through an examination of the "secret writings" entrusted to librarians, the book delves into the enigmatic and magical aspects of Egyptian knowledge, highlighting the tension between the desire to share and the need for secrecy. Ultimately, this book provides a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Egyptian librarianship, emphasizing the enduring legacy of these individuals as guardians and disseminators of knowledge in one of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the medical advancements made in the lives of women throughout the 19th century. It begins by challenging the myth that early doctors were less prone to error or delusion than medical professionals today. The author notes that many ineffective and sometimes fatal treatments throughout history fell out of practice only when enough patients died or suffered. He details one such widely adopted theory, then debunked and abandoned, concerning extensive and invasive surgery aimed at treating female back pain. The author then introduces Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet, who pioneered effective treatment for cervical lacerations, which was mistakenly used to treat the back pain of countless women who did not need the surgery. This book offers valuable insights into the historical context and progress of modern gynecological treatment.
