For the curious visitor, Egypt is a land of mystery and magic. So much to admire and so much to awaken our curiosity, as its history unfolds through an endless series of pyramids, tombs, temples, mosques, souks and museums. How to make the most of this immense patrimony in the limited time available during a visit to the country? A good guidebook is indispensable, and here it is at last, and it makes fascinating reading. Ellen Grady lays out before us the shimmering tapestry that is Egypt, following every colourful thread and describing its intricate weave with affectionate expertise. Medieval cities, the infinite deserts, the inscrutable Nile, all emerge in their splendour to be admired, and at last, understood. Swirling patterns of gods and hieroglyphs reveal at last their hitherto incomprehensible design. The protagonists emerge to tell us their stories; kings and pharaohs, explorers and adventurers, scholars and sycophants. Besides the admirable description of monuments and places of interest, you will find all the background history you need.
History of start of the fight against IR35. (Based on the second edition and parts 1-3 of Freedom to Freelance) Part 1 - Forming the PCG -the original formation of the PCG following the announcement of IR35 Part 2 - The Parliamentary Battle - the initial Parliamentary battle in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords Part 3 - Judicial Review - how we raised the money and took the Government to the High Court for a judicial review hearing over IR35 It is not the full story you need to read all eight parts for that. It has proved hard to find any division, but this is the clearest place to divide it as it was the first phase in the development of the PCG when the movement was very much united and I think it is the part that interests people the most. Parts 4 - 8 (in the next edition) deal with what followed after the judicial review hearing and I think are even more interesting and that edition follows this one.

In this companion volume to her Egypt Guidebook, Ellen Grady focuses on some of the remarkable female protagonists of the Egypt chronicle, and tells us their stories. Who are the Nile Ladies? Quite a surprising assortment of women, including a goddess, several queens, a few saints, a philosopher mathematician/astronomer, four unconventional Englishwomen (one of whom was probably Irish), a feminist, a pop singer and a determined little Parisian, all with one thing in common: their passion for Egypt. These are some of the figures who stand out in Egypt’s incredibly long history, spanning over five thousand years. No other civilisation lasted so long.
