Some day.” —The Irish Times “There is something for everyone. It has a wide range of scenarios from dangerous to just downright irritating . . . It is fun, witty, entertaining and you learn something along the way too.” —Quill Quotes
Download or read book A Buffalo s Revenge written by Bob Lupo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Buffalo's Revenge, a Vietnam negative, explores the limits of a nation engaged in a struggle for freedom when the mirror reveals a fractured image. Racism is bundled in an interlocking grid of white and black and oriental hatred. The backdrop of the home front, the plague of assassinations, a spiraling anti-war movement, a sandwiched Media, and politicians and a military caught in the glare of appeasing conflicting demands underscores the plight of individuals fighting for their lives and their loves. Doc Lusane must overcome his need to die; James Jaggers his need to kill; Pee Wee Anson to hate. The home front explodes in a frenzy of hate and violence. The boys discover love beyond the peculiar cadence of language and dialect. They discover life beyond race or color. They discover themselves. America was at war thirty-five years ago and we are at war today. A Buffalo's Revenge is a snapshot of America, then and now.
Download or read book The Messenger written by Resit Haylamaz and published by Tughra Books. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book narrates the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, shedding light upon segments of his life that are either neglected or glossed over in conflict-focused biographies. The narrations in this book revolve around the Prophet's various strategies of diplomacy and reconciliation to avoid conflicts. In narrating these events, the book helps the readers broaden their perspective on the life of the Messenger of God and better capture the ethos of his life. Indeed, both Muslims and non-Muslims may benefit from this understanding at a time when violent extremist groups such as ISIS are causing carnage with their brutality while dressing their totalitarian ideologies in Muslim garb. The book exposes the hypocritical and willful deception of these radical groups which cherry-pick incidents and sayings from the Prophet's life, decontextualize them, and abuse them to serve their perverted ideologies. The extensive evidence presented in this book will not only dispel many myths about the life and message of the Noble Prophet, but also show how through compassionate efforts he conquered the hearts of people around him and turned them from die-hard enemies to devoted faithful friends.
Download or read book Roses from the Orphanage written by Fatma S. Rawah and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roses from the Orphanage is a fairy tale of twin sisters who lived in an orphanage long time ago, in an imaginary city of Zeyoun on a coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The twins were little when abandoned at the doorstep of Madam Ghalba, a wealthy and sympathetic lady who owned the orphanage. The lady took care of the twins like her own from childhood to grown-up beautiful girls; unfortunately, they turned out to be two different individuals. As a result of the obsession of immoral desires by one of the sisters, they were separated in a mysterious way and lost each other for good, or at least that was how it seems. However, fate was on their side, and due to their strong bond of love and hope of being together again, the twin sisters found each other in extraordinary circumstances.
Download or read book Southern Politics in the 1990s written by Alexander P. Lamis and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1999-08 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the Republican party surged to majority status in the South after two decades of struggling unevenly to become established in the formerly one-party Democratic section of the country. In this comprehensive, up-to-date study, seasoned observers tell the fascinating story of the GOP’s remarkable advance at the regional level and in each of the eleven states of the former Confederacy, effectively capturing the current partisan dynamics at work throughout Dixie. In Southern Politics in the 1990s eleven teams of political scientists and journalists—all of them long-time observers of the political scene in their own states—offer individual chapters that closely examine partisan and electoral developments in each southern state. Alexander P. Lamis frames the state discussions with introductory and concluding chapters that highlight the evolution of the two-party South and the political transformation the region as a whole underwent during the decade of the 1990s. Together, the authors show that the amazing Republican spurt was fueled by many factors, including the ongoing entrenchment of the partisan competition begun three decades earlier; the national Republican sweep of 1994 that affected all regions of the country equally; and the successful efforts of Republicans to paint the Democrats as hopelessly mired in a corrupt political system and themselves as untainted reformers who represent the future. However, as the separate state chapters illustrate, the pace of change differed from state to state. For example, South Carolina was an early Dixie leader in the GOP’s growth in the 1990s, but Arkansas caught the wave only in the middle of the decade. Offering in-depth political analysis on both the state and the regional level, Southern Politics in the 1990s reveals that the 1990s revolution in southern politics gave the country, for the first time since the 1850s, a truly national party system. The book will prove essential to anyone interested in southern politics at the dawn of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Resistance Dissidence Revolution written by Viola Shafik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated within an emerging academic interest in documentary film in the Middle East and North Africa, this book studies the development of diverse documentary forms in relation to revolutionary and emancipatory movements that took place across the twentieth century in the so-called Arab World. Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s image of a “rhizome,” the author takes a de-territorialized approach to revolutionary filmmaking, embracing the diversity and fluidity of revolutionary works in the “Arab World.” As well as outlining the documentary film histories of the main film-producing nations of the region – Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco – the book analyzes the formal and esthetic features of individual works in relation to specific socio-political historical developments. Topics addressed include de-colonization, the wars of liberation, the Tricontinental movement, the Palestinian question, the Rif Uprising, the Leaden and Black Years, civil war in Lebanon, the recent Arab revolutions, state authoritarianism and totalitarianism, gender, collectivism and political subjectivity. Ultimately, the book contributes to a general theory of revolutionary documentary film forms by studying the works of consecutive periods from different ideological contexts. The book is much-needed reading for students and academics interested in film and media studies and the history, culture and politics of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
