 Book of Gates
The Book of Gates thus insists on punishment of the enemies of Ma'at.
In the Book of Gates, the doors serve to close again (and no to open !…) the sections of the Duat and serve as airlocks, opening on the approach of the divine procession, to then be tightly closed again, prohibiting the passage of intruders and appearing to seal off the hours.
This text of the Book of Gates is studded with allusions to the fact that the passage through the world created by any entity, whether it is human beings or gods illuminating the land, cause its deterioration.

Amazon.co.uk: Books: Deadhouse Gates (Malazan Book of the Fallen)
The first book in this series, Gardens of the Moon, was a gloriously complex, action-packed romp of a novel, with a huge cast of entertaining, well-drawn characters and an absolute refusal to bown down to genre cliches or expectations.
The Coltaine storyline is the heart of the novel and is truly horrific at times, and the conclusion is truly gut-wrenching (the reader is as angry as the characters are at the heartless betrayal that ends the novel, and the poetic justice which rewards it is sweet).

 The Book of Gates
The Book of Gates is the principal guidebook to the netherworld found in 19th and part of the 20th Dynasty tombs of the New Kingdom, though it makes its first appearance to us with the last king of the 18th Dynasty.
It compares most readily with the gates in the Book of the Dead, spells 144 and 145, which the Ramesside Period Egyptians considered a substitute for the Book of Gates in tombs that did not belong to pharaohs, such as that of Nefertari and others in the Valley of the Queens.
The third hour of the Book of Gates appears to emphasis a few motifs that are central to the nightly journey, including mummies in the upper register, which are awakened from the dead and reanimated in their shrines.

Not only the book is a well versed discussion of how to succeed through hard drive, it is also a reflection and warning on how ambition, when unchecked, and an unbalanced life can turn into greed, complete paranoia and life driven by fear rather than the excitement of accomplishment.
The book tries to be balanced and shows the evolution of a boy genius to a driven shrewd industry leader to a completely paranoid ego maniac.
Not having any opinions of Gates when I started to read the book, besides the fact that he was a successful and driven person worthy of examination, I could not help but to admire him in his youth for his dedication and drive.

 Book Review: Gates of Injustice by Alan Elsner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In Gates of Injustice: The Crisis in America’s Prisons, Alan Elsner, national correspondent for the Reuters news agency, picks up where Kennedy left off and has presented the case for criminal justice reform comprehensively and with clarity, specificity and authority.
Acknowledging that the crisis is enormous and will not be quickly resolved, he suggests a number of “first steps” that are necessary, that can be very effective and that are well within the capabilities of the society to achieve.
Elsner’s book is very much in the tradition of Tarbell and Sinclair who, in other times and with respect to other national scandals, were able to arouse public indignation and compel reform.
