The present volume collects thirty-two papers on various topics from the history of Egyptology to archaeology and material culture, from the Predynastic to the Roman period, through history and epigraphy, as well as new technologies.
This is the first volume on the history of the Nile Delta to cover the c.7000 years from the Predynastic period to the twentieth century. It offers a multidisciplinary approach engaging with varied aspects of the region's long, complex, yet still underappreciated history. Readers will learn of the history of settlement, agriculture and the management of water resources at different periods and in different places, as well as the naming and mapping of the Delta and the roles played by tourism and archaeology. The wide range of backgrounds of the contributors and the broad panoply of methodological and conceptual practices deployed enable new spaces to be opened up for conversations and cross-fertilization across disciplinary and chronological boundaries. The result is a potent tribute to the historical significance of this region and the instrumental role it has played in the shaping of past, present and future Afro-Eurasian worlds.

Il volume illustra il lavoro di ricostruzione della missione di scavo condotta dall’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» nell’inverno fra il 1964 e il 1965 sul sito di Arsinoe, antico capoluogo del distretto del Fayyum. Materiali d’archivio, reperti e papiri fanno luce sia sulle attività sul campo e sull’architettura del settore indagato, sia su alcuni aspetti della vita quotidiana nell’Egitto di età tolemaica e romana. La documentazione d’archivio è stata poi utilizzata per rendere nuovamente ‘visitabile’ – attraverso modelli 3D, digital storytelling e realtà aumentata – un sito archeologico per sempre scomparso a causa dell’incedere dell’urbanizzazione contemporanea.
In the last decade, much needed attention and research has been focused on the group of psychiatric conditions termed 'impulse control disorders' or ICDs. Pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, kleptomania, hypersexuality, Internet 'addiction', among other disorders, are characterized by a recurrent urge to perform a repetitive behavior that is gratifying in the moment but causes significant long-term distress and disability. Despite the high rate of co-morbidity with obsessive compulsive disorder, ICDs are now clearly distinguished from these disorders with a unique clinical approach for diagnosis and treatment. A wide array of psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic options is now available for treating these disorders. Drs Elias Aboujaoude and Lorrin M. Koran have collated the world's foremost experts in ICD research and treatment to create a comprehensive book on the frequency, evolution, treatment, and related public policy, public health, forensic, and medical issues of these disorders. This is the first book to bring together medical and social knowledge bases related to impulse control disorders.
Includes sections "Activities of the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol" and "Current literature."
