Protecting Pharaoh's Treasures

My Life in Egyptology

By: Wafaa El Saddik,Rüdiger Heimlich

Growing up in Egypt's Nile Delta, Wafaa El Saddik was fascinated by the magnificent pharaonic monuments from an early age, and as a student she dreamed of conducting excavations herself and working in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. At a time when Egyptology was dominated by men, especially those with close connections to the regime, she was determined to succeed, and secured grants to study in Boston, London, and Vienna, eventually becoming the first female general director of the country's most prestigious museum. She launched the first general inventory of the museum's cellars in its more than hundred-year history, in the process discovering long-forgotten treasures, as well as confronting corruption and nepotism in the antiquities administration. In this very personal memoir, she looks back at the history of her country and asks, What happened to Egypt? Where did Nasser's bright new beginning go wrong? Why did Sadat fail to bring peace? Why did the Egyptians allow themselves to be so corrupted by Mubarak? And why was the Muslim Brotherhood able to achieve power? But her first concern remains: How can the ancient legacy of her country truly be protected?

By: Galal H. Elgemeie,Rasha A. Azzam,Wafaa A. Zaghary,Ashraf A. Aly,Nadia H Metwally,Mona O. Sarhan,Elshimaa M. Abdelhafez,Rasha E. Elsayed

N-Sulfonated-N-Heterocycles covers the synthesis, chemistry and biological applications of these compounds, focusing on pioneering synthetic approaches, mechanistic insights and their limitations, as well as recent advances in this field. The synthesis of some of N-sulfonated N-heterocycles and their transformation to other useful cyclic and acyclic compounds are discussed, as well as their uses as useful intermediates in the preparation of polymeric and medicinal materials. This book includes detailed methods and protocols, and the focus on applications makes this resource an essential guide for all researchers in the area of organic, medicinal and polymeric synthetic study. - Reviews the use of N-sulfonated N-heterocycles as important precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds - Includes information on synthetically useful transformations of N-sulfonated N-heterocycles - Covers a wide synthetic methods used for an important branch of heterocycles and their biological evaluation in detail - Features over 500 schemes to illustrate different synthetic pathways and reactions of N-sulfonated N-heterocycles
