Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Isle of Faerie is a terrible, glorious, wonderful land. The air is warm, the flowers sweet-smelling… and time no longer means quite what you thought it did. There are broken limbs on the grass, and the rivers want to drown you. Rinaldo Device is stranded in a world where his magic of metal-working means nothing. Without his brother. Without a way home. And the worst secret he’s ever kept is about to come spilling out… Back in London, Flavia and Orlando hurry to put a rescue plan together for Rinaldo and the Gloucester children, but they may already be too late. The Queen of Faerie is out for revenge, and no one can stand in her way. Not even an angry princess, a heartbroken daughter, or a mysterious yellow cat. If you enjoy gaslamp fantasy and faerie Victoriana, you’ll love this third volume in the Sparks & Philtres novella series.

Download or read book The Meaning and Explanation of the Glorious Qur an Vol 6 written by Muhammad Saed Abdul-Rahman and published by MSA Publication Limited. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 2nd edition of volume 6 of the ten volumes of The Meaning And Explanation Of The Glorious Qur'an. The first edition of this book contained many formatting and typing errors. In this new edition, we have corrected all the errors found in the first edition. We have also re-arranged the structure of the book and added the full Arabic Text of the thirty Parts of the Qur'an. The reader is now able to read not only the meaning, the transliteration and the tafsir (explanation) of the Glorious Qur'an but also the full Arabic text as well. Our mission is to gather in one place, for the English-speaking public, all relevant information needed to make the Qur'an more understandable and easier to study. This book tries to do this by providing the following: 1. The Arabic Text for those who are able to read Arabic 2. Transliteration of the Arabic text for those who are unable to read the Arabic script. This will give them a sample of the sound of the Qur'an, which they could not otherwise comprehend from reading the English meaning. 3. The meaning of the qur'an (translated by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan) 4. Background introductions by two famous Islamic scholars, Maududi and Ibn Kathir 5. Explanation (abridged Tafsir) by Ibn Kathir (translated by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri) We hope that by doing this an ordinary English-speaker will be able to pick up a copy of this book and study and comprehend The Glorious Qur'an in a way that is acceptable to the understanding of the Rightly-guided Muslim Ummah (Community).

Download or read book Glorious Causes written by Yale R. Magrass and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on historical cases of the American South before and after the Civil War, Europe – especially Germany – between the world wars, and the United States in Vietnam and its aftermath, this book takes a historical approach to explain the problems of capitalism and democratic leadership in western democracies today. Capitalist democracies proclaim equality, material prosperity and comfort but produce extreme differences in wealth and power. They promise security and peace, but deliver frequent wars. The promises broken, elites often turn to other visions- partially borrowed from feudalism- to win public support. Nations turn to honor, nobility and war as a way of winning over workers and legitimating the capitalist system itself. Capitalism’s contradictions often have produced a cultural divide. One side, "cosmopolitans" – urban, see themselves as citizens of the world, not one region or country – identify as secular, preach multi-culturalism, entertain state welfare systems, and are cautious about going to war. Their opponents, "traditionalists," breed among people who feel left behind, anxiousness and insecurity, often embracing community, tradition, God and family. The devastation of the world wars and the Third Reich led Europe to forgo visions of empire, militarism and glory and focus upon improving the quality of life for their own citizens. Although the United States does not need to experience comparable trauma, they should follow Europe’s example- forget glory and instead build a better life for the American people. The last chapter will consider how such a change could emerge in the US and who might help fight for it.
Download or read book A Sweet and Glorious Land written by John Keahey and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I eventually came across an edition of Gissing's work.... At one moment, halfway through my reading of this classic, I turned to my wife and said that I wanted to visit Italy and follow in the footsteps Gissing made in 1897 during his third and final trip to Italy:from Naples where he boarded the coastal steamer south to Paola; and from there, in a horse-drawn carriage, through the Calabrian mountains to Cosenza.From Cosenza, he went by train to Taranto and, using a combination of trains and carriages, made it all the way to Reggio di Calabria.It was a journey that covered much of the foot of Italy, principally along the coastal instep of the Ionian Sea....I wanted to see, one hundred years after Gissing, how these ancient lands looked." - from A Sweet and Glorious LandIn the winter of 1897-1898, Victorian writer George Gissing made a well-chronicled journey throughout southern Italy.The result was a book, By the Ionian Sea, in which he detailed the influence of ancient Greece on the peninsula and contrasted the glory of Greece and its magnificent cities to the southern Italy of the late 1800s.The book was published in 1901 and has since become a classic in travel literature.A hundred years later, award-winning newspaper journalist John Keahey sets off to retrace Gissing's footsteps.His goal is to compare and contrast the two Italys, seeing first-hand all the changes that have occurred over the past century.He explores the outdoor markets in Naples, journeys to the charming coastal town of Paola, takes a train ride out of the Calabrian mountain town of Cosenza and into the port city of Taranto, and makes his way down to Reggio at the toe of Italy's boot.Along the route, he visits modern-day Crotone, the Ionian coastal city that was famous in antiquity as the place where Pythagoras had his school, as well as where Hannibal, pursued for 15 years along the length of Italy by the Romans, embarked in shame for Carthage (now in modern-day Tunisia).Going beyond Gissing's journey, Keahey also makes an additional stop at Sibari near where the site of ancient Sybaris has been partially excavated.From train rides through the lush countryside to the crisp mountain air of Catanzaro, Keahey paints a beautiful and compelling picture of one of the lesser known parts of the country.Reminiscent of Under the Tuscan Sun,A Sweet and Glorious Land is not only a wonderful travelogue but also an intriguing story of southern Italy and its people.Praise for A Sweet and Glorious Land:"John Keahey's idea of visiting the shores of the Ionian Sea under the expert guidance of his predecessor, the Victorian novelist and traveller George Gissing, has proved a brilliant one, fertilizing his own originality and giving breadth to his lightly-worn learning." (Pierre Coustillas, editor of The Gissing Journal and Professor of EnglishLiterature at the University of Lille, France)AUTHORBIO: JOHN KEAHEY is a veteran newspaper journalist who, for the past ten years, has been a news editor and reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune.He has history and marketing degrees from the University of Utah and spends as much time as possible in Italy.He lives in Salt Lake City with book-designer Connie Disney.
Download or read book A Glorious Defeat written by Timothy J. Henderson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy J. Henderson's A Glorious Defeat provide a short, accessible account of the US-Mexican War. The war that was fought between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848 was a major event in the history of both countries: it cost Mexico half of its national territory, opened western North America to U.S. expansion, and brought to the surface a host of tensions that led to devastating civil wars in both countries. Among generations of Latin Americans, it helped to cement the image of the United States as an arrogant, aggressive, and imperialist nation, poisoning relations between a young America and its southern neighbors. In contrast with many current books that treat the war as a fundamentally American experience, Timothy J. Henderson's A Glorious Defeat offers a fresh perspective on the Mexican side of the equation. Examining the manner in which Mexico gained independence, Henderson brings to light a greater understanding of that country's intense factionalism and political paralysis leading up to and through the war. Also touching on a range of topics from culture, ethnicity, religion, and geography, this comprehensive yet concise narrative humanizes the conflict and serves as the perfect introduction for new readers of Mexican history.
