Ride along with Lord Edward Cecil in one of the most hilarious true tales of life as a colonial official in the land of the pharaohs. With a wicked, dry wit, Cecil skewers everyone, including his own countrymen, the Egyptians, the Americans, French, and even himself.Serving in Egypt during the British occupation in the last of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries, Lord Cecil gives a delightfully hilarious account of his daily life. Imprisoned in meetings he doesn't want, attending dinners and social affairs with boors, and time spent shipboard on leave are all covered here. You'll never look at colonial Britain in quite the same way again.Every memoir of the British Empire provides us with another view of the tiny nation that changed the world forever.

In ancient Egypt women enjoyed a legal, social and sexual independence unrivalled by their Greek or Roman sisters, or in fact by most women until the late nineteenth century. They could own and trade in property, work outside the home, marry foreigners and live alone without the protection of a male guardian. Some of them even rose to rule Egypt as ‘female kings’. Joyce Tyldesley’s vivid history of how women lived in ancient Egypt weaves a fascinating picture of daily life – marriage and the home, work and play, grooming and religion – viewed from a female perspective, in a work that is engaging, original and constantly surprising.

Pathways to Excessive Gambling draws upon extensive empirical research amongst young people and problem gamblers in Australia, comparing it with situations in other territories, to shed light on social, recreational gambling and the ways in which this can lead to excessive gambling. It highlights the relationship between the local community, sports clubs, governments, social recreation, economy and regulation of gambling venues, identifying the social indicators that typify situations which commonly lead to excessive gambling. By developing a 'society-based' perspective, this volume recognizes problem gambling as an issue for the whole society rather than just the individual, focusing on the availability of gambling and identifying its capacity, as a construct, to encourage or restrict the behaviour of the individual. As such, this book will be of significance to social scientists with interests in gambling, young people, social problems, and the sociology of leisure and culture.
