Social Diagnosis is the classic in social work literature. In it Miss Richmond first established a technique of social casework. She discusses the nature and uses of social evidence, its tests and their practical application, and summarizes the lessons to be learned from history, science, and the law. While other aids in diagnosis have been added to the caseworker's equipment, the assembling of social evidence is still an important discipline of the profession, to which this volume continues to make a significant contribution. No revision of the book has ever been made nor does any later book take its place.
Mit Irmtraut Munro geht Anfang 2009 eine der produktivsten Forscherinnen zum altagyptischen Totenbuch in den Ruhestand. In den vergangenen 15 Jahren erschien im Harrassowitz-Verlag ein Dutzend Monographien von ihr zu diesem Thema. Die Festschrift versammelt 17 Aufsatze befreundeter Wissenschaftler und Kollegen aus insgesamt 10 europaischen Landern. Dem Hauptinteresse der Jubilarin entsprechend bilden Publikationen und Studien zu einzelnen Textzeugen des Totenbuchs einen inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt des Buches. Weitere Beitrage befassen sich mit ihrer Ikonographie, Uberlieferungsgeschichte sowie ihrem Inhalt und ihren Vignetten. Einige Beitrage gehen uber den Bereich des Totenbuchs hinaus und nehmen Bezug auf weitere Texte wie das Mundoffnungsritual und die Pyramidentexte. Insgesamt behandelt das Buch ausgewahlte Fragen zum Totenbuch uber seinen gesamten Belegzeitraum vom Neuen Reich bis zur Ptolemaerzeit.
The sixteenth Current Research in Egyptology (CRE) conference was held from the 15–18 April 2015 at the University of Oxford and once again provided a platform for postgraduates and early career Egyptologists, as well as independent researchers, to present their research. These proceedings for CREXVI represent the wide-range of themes that were offered by delegates during the conference. Papers focus on the theme of travel in ancient Egypt from a wide range of perspectives such as concrete or abstract travels, travel in space and time, travel inside, to, or from Egypt, travel in literature, travel of beliefs and ideas or travel of objects.
16 papers explore the subject of palaeopathology in Egypt and Nubia from its beginnings in the early 1900s through to current research themes and the impact of technological development in the field.
The present volume is the result of the second international symposium dedicated to the necropolis of Abusir, Saqqara and Dahshur that took place in Prague in June-July 2005. The thirty articles include contributions by Hartwig Altenmueller, Dieter Arnold, Vassil Dobrev, Ludwig Morenz, Miroslav Verner, Christiane Ziegler and numerous other scholars. The contributions cover various aspects of the Memphite region from the Early Dynastic Period to the Roman era, but the bulk of the papers focus on the Abusir-Saqqara necropolis in the Old Kingdom. A study and interpretation of the archaeological remains and literary sources form the main themes of interest among the contributions, but the most characteristic feature of most papers is the use of a combination of archaeological, literary and iconographic material in order to attain a deeper knowledge and better understanding of the Memphite necropolis and its development over time.
The Czech Institute of Egyptology of Charles University has since the start of the 3rd millennium established the tradition of organizing on a regular basis a platform for scholars active in the pyramid fields of the Memphite region (Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur, and Giza). This volume, fifth in the series, contains 30 contributions by 35 scholars.
This is the catalog of the exhibition at the National Museum in Prague mapping over a century of archaeological exploration of Abusir by Egyptian, German, and Czech missions.
The volume presents a palaeographic study of the old hieratic inscriptions that were found on the blocks of stone masonry of the Old Kingdom tombs in the Saqqara and Abusir necropolis. The study includes the previously published material, above all from the Czech excavations in Abusir and the French work in Saqqara. In addition to that, also some yet unpublished inscriptions discovered in the recent years, were included into the study.
19 essays collected in this publication elucidate the emergence, transmission, and interaction of economic structures and management of recourses during the second half of the third, and especially in the second millennium BC in Mesopotamia.
