What compels a person to strap a vest loaded with explosives onto his body and blow himself up in a crowded street? Scholars have answered this question by focusing on the pathology of the "terrorist mind" or the "brainwashing" practices of terrorist organizations. In Caravan of Martyrs, David Edwards argues that we need to understand the rise of suicide bombing in relation to the cultural beliefs and ritual practices associated with sacrifice. Before the war in Afghanistan began, the sacrificial killing of a sheep demonstrated a tribe's desire for peace. After the Soviet invasion of 1979, as thousands of people were killed, sacrifice took on new meanings. The dead were venerated as martyrs, but this informal conferral of status on the casualties of war soon became the foundation for a cult of martyrs exploited by political leaders for their own advantage. This first repurposing of the machinery of sacrifice set in motion a process of mutation that would lead nineteen Arabs who had received their training in Afghanistan to hijack airplanes on September 11 and that would in time transform what began as a cult of martyrs created by a small group of Afghan jihadis into the transnational scattering of suicide bombers that haunts our world today. Drawing on years of research in the region, Edwards traces the transformation of sacrifice using a wide range of sources, including the early poetry of jihad, illustrated martyr magazines, school primers and legal handbooks, martyr hagiographies, videos produced by suicide bombers, the manual of ritual instructions used by the 9/11 hijackers, and Facebook posts through which contemporary "Talifans" promote the virtues of self-destruction.
Amelia B. Edwards, a British novelist and travel author, wrote the travelogue A Thousand Miles Up the Nile. The book, which was published in 1877, details Edwards' expedition up the Nile River, travels through Sudan and Egypt. The book is a fascinating and in-depth account of her adventures, filled with thorough descriptions of the environments, characters, and historic sites she comes across along the journey. With her excursions up the Nile, Edwards was able to completely pursue her enthusiasm for Egyptology and archaeology, which she had a strong interest in as a writer. She describes her excursions to several ancient sites in her book, including the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, and the temples of Karnak and Luxor. She goes into great depth about the amazing art and architecture she sees at each location. In her travelogue, Edwards demonstrates her prowess as a storyteller and as a good fiction writer. She gives evocative images of the people she encounters along the trip, and her lyrical and educational descriptions of the Nile and its environs. In conclusion, anybody interested in travel writing, Egyptology, or the history of ancient Egypt should read A Thousand Miles up the Nile.
A new edition of this very helpful book which provides the practical information necessary to turn a complex series of results and ideas into clear, simple, unambiguous text, without loss of style or individuality. A new chapter has been included which focuses on clarity of data presentation in graph form. Each chapter has also been updated to include coverage of the latest writing trends and jargon. Many new examples of the good and the bad in medical writing, drawn from published work, are deftly used alongside apt cartoons to illustrate the argument.

In Victorian England, Amelia B. Edwards was an iconic cultural figure, admired by Trollope and Browning for her best-selling fiction and by the wider public for her witty, thought-provoking travel writing. In later life, she became a celebrated historian, bringing fresh understanding of the world of Ancient Egypt to a fascinated public and founding the Egyptian Exploration Fund (Society).This new biography uses previously overlooked sources to tell the story of her fascinating and unconventional life - her travels, travails and feminist activism - as well as touching on her occasionally problematic views on race. In appreciation of a figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage and animal rights societies as well as revealing new insights into Edwards’ loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and Lucy Renshaw. In doing so, it reveals a versatile, creative, witty, independent woman, and a true pioneer of her time.
