Internationally renowned political commentator Noam Chomsky examines America`s pursuit & exercise of power in a post 9/11 world Noam Chomsky is the world`s foremost intellectual activist. Over the last half century, no one has done more to question the great global powers who govern our lives, forensically scrutinizing policies & actions, calling our politicians, institutions & media to account. The culmination of years of work, Who Rules the World? is Chomsky`s definitive intellectual investigation into the major issues of our times. From the dark history of the US & Cuba to China`s global rise, from torture memos to sanctions on Iran, Chomsky explores how America`s talk of freedom & human rights is often at odds with its actions. Delving deep into the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Israel/ Palestine, he provides nuanced, surprising insights into the workings of modern-day imperial power. The world`s political & financial elite have become ever more insulated from democratic constraints on their actions. Chomsky shines a powerful light on this inconvenient truth. With climate change & nuclear proliferation threatening the survival of our civilization, the message has never been more pertinent or more urgent: the need for an engaged & active public to steer the world away from disaster grows ever greater. Fiercely outspoken & rigorously argued, Who Rules the World? is an indispensable guide to how things really are from the lone authoritative voice courageous & clear-sighted enough to tell us the truth. ...

This is an accessible & informative guide to the major pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, their names & their cartouches. It is a concise guide arranged chronologically. It is illustrated with colour photographs for the first time. It is a perfect reference for beginners & scholars alike. In Ancient Egypt, a name did more than express ones identity; it incorporated it, forming a profound element of it. Names of kings were especially important as the king of Egypt acted as the earthly counterpart to the sun-god. At his accession to the throne, a pharaoh would take five names to distinguish him from ordinary human beings; the first being his birth name & the remaining four composed specially for the coronation. The first four chapters of this book are divided by period, covering 3000 years of history from the dawn of Egyptian writing to the use of royal names under the Roman emperors in Egypt. With the help of ancient hieroglyphic texts & modern research, they give an indepth but accessible history of Ancient Egyptian royalty & society. The final chapter provides an extensive list of royal names & displays the principal cartouches for all the major kings of Ancient Egypt as well as some lesser-known but equally intriguing pharaohs. It also details the key events & characteristics of each reign. This book is an indispensible guide to the identity of the Egyptian pharaohs for people of all levels of knowledge. The Author Stephen Quirke was formerly a Curator in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities in the British Museum. He is now Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in the Institute of Archaeology at UCL. ...
