Awakening Osiris

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new translation, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches this text as a profound spiritual document capable of speaking to us today.

Encyclopedia Of Ancient Greece
by

Ancient Greek civilization has stamped an enduring legacy on the modern world. Culturally, early Greek philosophies, scientific discoveries, religious practices, complex mythologies, and creative achievements continue to inspire the generations. Politically, the city-states of Ancient Greece represent much of what nations today seek to emulate and avoid. The peaceful alliances and violent conflicts, democracies and tyrannies, systems of law and regimes of force, social freedoms and slave labor, trade and economic power, as well as colonial ambition and empire, still offer lessons to the student of history. This Encyclopedia is derived from the more broadly focused Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition , the highly praised two-volume work. Newly edited by Nigel Wilson, this single-volume reference provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the political, cultural, and social life of the people and to the places, ideas, periods, and events that defined Ancient Greece.
