Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All three books in 'DaDa Detective Agency', a series of mystery novels by Pete Adams, now in one volume! Road Kill: In the genteel, upper middle-class community of Southsea, Portsmouth, cataclysmic events unfold, culminating in a violent clash featuring a Sherman tank and a bazooka. Investigating the strange occurrence is Lord Everard Pimple, an inexperienced aristocrat who unwittingly stumbles into a world of feminine charms and a host of unforeseen complications. As Everard's life spins out of control, he remains oblivious to the looming danger that threatens to level his world. Will he survive the fallout? Rite Judgement: In the aftermath of Sister Winfrede's gruesome murder, the police and MI5 are called in to investigate a string of increasingly bizarre deaths that hint at a connection to something sinister. Even as more bodies pile up, one victim, Bea Flat, inexplicably returns from the dead to conduct the orchestra. Jack Austin and the DaDa Detective Agency are at the center of this surreal tale of crime, myth, and legend, where reality and illusion blur and hope prevails despite the chaos. Rite Judgement is a story of good versus evil, and the human capacity for belief in the face of uncertainty. Blood Sport: As Jack and Mandy return home from a Rite of Spring dance in London, they speak with Jack's son, Angie, who, like his father, is considered inept in the field of crime-solving. But when Angie is tasked with investigating council planning decisions, he uncovers a web of corporate greed and a sinister organization called Hegemon that threatens the coastal resources of Portsmouth. With his father's analytical genes, Angie becomes a defender of democracy, taking on surreal and unexpected challenges. 'Blood Sport', the third book in Pete Adams's DaDa Detective Agency series, is a comedic yet serious tale of conspiracy and the power of inherited traits.

Nyerere's vision of education for the common good - a pragmatically balanced articulation of a postcolonial African perspective on higher education - Kiluba L. Nkulu emphasizes a human-centered approach to community and national development. Serving the Common Good offers a provocative and unique perspective on the state of higher education in Africa, and will be useful in courses on African Studies, Education and Society, Educational Foundations and Inquiry, Higher Education and Leadership, Political Economy, and Sociology.

Book excerpt: From one of the most popular historians writing today comes a book as fascinating as the bestsellers of Karen Armstrong and Reza Aslan. In this captivating chronicle, Martin Gilbert shines new light on a controversial dilemma in the modern world: the troubled relationship between Jews and Muslims. Beginning at the dawn of Islam and sweeping from the Atlantic Ocean to the mountains of Afghanistan, Gilbert presents the first popular and authoritative history of Jewish peoples under Muslim rule. He confronts with wisdom and compassion the stormy events in their dramatic story, including anti-Zionist movements and the forced exodus to Israel. He also gives special attention to the twentieth century and to the current political debate about refugee status and restitution. Throughout, Gilbert weaves a compelling narrative of perseverance, struggle, and renewal marked by surprising moments of tolerance and partnership. A monumental and timely book, Jews under Muslim Rule is a crowning achievement that confirms Martin Gilbert as one of the foremost historians of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Behind the clamorous headlines of militant and political Islam lies the more serene and cultivated form that is traditional Islam, which now is increasingly under threat from both fundamentalists and modern secularists. Author Jean-Louis Michon unveils this lesser-known dimension of Islam while capturing the essence and beauty of this often misinterpreted religion, which has over 1.5 billion adherents (about a quarter of the world's population)." "Illustrated with over 270 color photographs, Introduction to Traditional Islam is divided into four parts: 1: the foundations of Islam, which highlights the pillars of the faith as well as the traditional Islamic city and its holistic vision of life; 2: the message of Islamic art; 3: music and spirituality; and 4: the way of Sufism, the inward or mystical dimension of Islam."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Arab Modernism as World Cinema written by Peter Limbrick and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arab Modernism as World Cinema explores the radically beautiful films of Moroccan filmmaker Moumen Smihi, demonstrating the importance of Moroccan and Arab film cultures in histories of world cinema. Addressing the legacy of the Nahda or “Arab Renaissance” of the nineteenth and early twentieth century—when Arab writers and artists reenergized Arab culture by engaging with other languages and societies—Peter Limbrick argues that Smihi’s films take up the spirit of the Nahda for a new age. Examining Smihi’s oeuvre, which enacts an exchange of images and ideas between Arab and non-Arab cultures, Limbrick rethinks the relation of Arab cinema to modernism and further engages debates about the use of modernist forms by filmmakers in the Global South. This original study offers new routes for thinking about world cinema and modernism in the Middle East and North Africa, and about Arab cinema in the world.
Download or read book Building a World Heritage City written by Michele Lamprakos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Society of Architectural Historians Spiro Kostof Book Award, Honorable Mention, 2018" The conservation of old Sanaa is a major cultural heritage initiative that began in the 1980's under the auspices of UNESCO; it continues today, led by local agencies and actors. In contrast to other parts of the world where conservation was introduced at a later date to remediate the effects of modernization, in Yemen the two processes have been more or less concurrent. This has resulted in a paradox: unlike many other countries in the Middle East that abandoned traditional construction practices long ago, in Yemen these practices have not died out. Builders and craftsmen still work in 'traditional' construction, and see themselves as caretakers of the old city. At the same time, social forms that shaped the built fabric persist in both the old city and the new districts. Yemenis, in effect, are not separated from their heritage by an historical divide. What does it mean to conserve in a place where the 'historic past' is, in some sense, still alive? How must international agencies and consultants readjust theory and practice as they interact with living representatives of this historic past? And what are the implications of the case of Sanaa for conservation in general? Building a World Heritage City addresses these questions and also fosters greater cultural understanding of a little known, but geopolitically important, part of the world that is often portrayed exclusively in terms of unrest and political turmoil.
