Ramesses the Great
The life, dramatic reign, and enduring legacy of the pharaoh Ramesses the Great, with lessons for the present, from internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson “The author succeeds in bringing this distant age to life through telling detail and insightful analysis. . . . Whenever he can, the author takes advantage of opportunities to peer beneath the mask.”—The Economist Ramesses II ruled the Nile Valley and the wider Egyptian empire from 1279 to 1213 B.C., one of the longest reigns in pharaonic history. He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat—the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum. His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in
Mixing Pop and Politics
From rock'n'roll to contemporary pop, Mixing Pop and Politics is a provocative and entertaining mash-up of music and Marxist theory. Beginning with the eruption of rock'n'roll into the conservative 50s and running to contemporary pop and neoliberal dominance, Mixing and Pop Politics documents how music channels and responds to each era's political currents and events. Covering everything from 1950s rock'n'roll through the Beatles, glam rock, disco, hip hop and Britpop, all the way up to grime and contemporary pop, and influenced by writers like Mark Fisher, Dick Hebidge and Raymond Williams, Toby Manning shows how popular music has mirrored politics from the 1950s to the present. An entertaining and provocative mash-up of pop music with Marxist theory, Mixing Pop and Politics is a timely exploration of music's impulse towards a better world.
