Howard Carter is often remembered for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, but his legacy in the field of Egyptology spreads far further than this single discovery. The youngest of 11 children, Howard Carter began his career as an artist working for the Egypt Exploration Fund in 1891. Despite his young age, he pioneered new techniques in archaeological recording and used those skills to create beautiful, accurate images of tomb and temple scenes preserved on the monuments of Egypt.
“Erik Skare’s Brief History of Palestinian Islamism is a timely and meticulously researched work, combining insightful analysis and objective assessment. By integrating the latest developments around and after October 7 with a long-evolving historical context, this book stands as an exemplary piece of modern historiography on the Palestinian cause and its Islamist movements. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the colonial context in which Palestinian Islamist movements emerged and responded.”
