This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subaltern studies, the study of non-elite or underrepresented people, have revolutionized the writing of Middle Eastern history. Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean represents the next step in this transformation. The book explores the lives of eleven nonconformists who became agents of political and social change, actively organizing new forms of resistance—against either colonial European regimes or the traditional societies in which they lived—that disrupted the status quo, in some cases, with dramatic results. These case studies highlight cross-border connections in the Mediterranean world, exploring how these channels were navigated. Chapters in the book examine the lives of subversives and mavericks, such as Tawhida ben Shaykh, the first Arab woman to receive a medical degree; Mokhtar al-Ayari, a radical Tunisian labor leader; Nazli Hanem, Kmar Bayya, and Khiriya bin Ayyad, three aristocractic women who resisted the patriarchal structures of their societies by organizing and participating in intellectual salons for men and women and advocating social reform; Qaid Najim al-Akhsassi, an ex-slave and military officer, who fought against French and Spanish colonial expansion; and Boubeker al-Ghandjawi, a nearly illiterate trader who succeeded, though his diverse connections, in establishing important relations between the Moroccan sultan and the representative of the British government. Although based on individual and local perspectives, Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean reveals new and unrecognized trans-local connections across the Muslim world, illuminating our understanding of these societies beyond narrow elite circles.

Book excerpt: Clinging to life… An embassy terrorist attack in Africa left intelligence analyst Claire Day close to death, but she remembers nothing of the attack. She was left a husk of a woman. Only a shining figure in her dreams pulls her back from the brink—a mysterious man, strong, protective, powerful. He’s the only one that can keep the looming horror that haunts her dreams at bay—but she has no idea who he is. Obsessed by a ghost… They told former Marine Dan Weston that the beautiful woman that he kissed on the day of the terrorist attack was counted among the dead. He’s tried to move on, building a successful new career, but he just can’t get her hauntingly gorgeous eyes and her soft lips out of his head. It’s driving him nuts. When he finds out Claire’s not dead at all, nothing on earth, heaven or hell can keep him away. And just in time, too—because the dark forces that destroyed the Embassy will stop at nothing to destroy Claire, once and for all. But they didn’t reckon with Dan Weston… Please note: This title was previously published under the title Shadows at Midnight.

Book excerpt: A Brand New Series from Elle Thorne, author of the Shifters Forever Worlds! ShifterFest: Spring Break meets Lollapalooza in Twilight. With hot wolf shifters. ShifterFest is held somewhere different every year. This year, it’s south of the Olympic National Forest in Washington, and Score Flanigan’s doing security. Every pack has to contribute two males—called tributes—to the cause. But hey, don’t go confusing them with the Hunger Games. This has nothing to do with that. They were called tributes long before some woman decided to write about kids killing each other in a post-apocalyptic world. Score was planning to meet himself a wolf-honey for the night—until he was informed he was doing security. Humans aren’t technically involved. In fact, they aren’t wanted. This is a “Shifters Only” event. It’s all about fellowship. Grown-up fun. Drinking. Carousing. The Wolf Council meets and discusses business. Some arrange marriages because that’s what some packs still do. Others get together to see family in other packs. A huge party. Journalist Bliss Thompson heard there was a big thing happening. Hey, it only took her eight years to get a degree. Don’t judge. And now, if she wants a job, she has to prove herself to the editor of the local paper by getting a story. And her friend Hailey has found a doozy of a story. Sure, Hailey says it involves a werewolf festival, but everyone knows werewolves aren’t real. Still, it should be fun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace McKenna had been friends with Jenson for years, and when she got into a bind, there was no way Jenson was going to let her deal with it on her own. Jenson’s wife, Jade, loved Gracie to pieces, too. Maverick was tired of living in a condo. Staying in a house while out of town attending a few classes had him realizing the condo life wasn’t what he wanted. He was ready for a change. His dad told him about a house he had considered getting for the foundation, but it had too much land. Maverick took a look and fell in love with it as soon as he walked in the front door. The banker did warn him, though, that the prior owner’s family might be a bother, but Maverick loved the house so much that he’d take it anyway. Jade told Gracie that everyone was helping out Jenson’s brother, Maverick, move some stuff into his new house. Gracie agreed to tag along. “What are you doing?” He thought that it was obvious but told her anyway that he was kissing her. “Why? I mean, do you have any idea…well, of course you don’t. You just take what you want, don’t you?” “No. I would have waited for an invitation to kiss you, but I don’t think that you would have given me one. I was hoping…no, that’s not right. I was going to beg you for more, but right now, you have a tight grip on my hair that tells me you’re not happy with being kissed. Is it me? Or do you have someone else in your life?” She told him that it was all him. “I see. Was I too pushy, you think?” “Do I think you were too pushy? Yes. You were. Why would you kiss a total stranger without knowing a bit about her?” He said he had only ever done that the one time with her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acambaro collection comprises hundreds of clay figurines that are apparently thousands of years old; however, they depict such bizarre animals and scenes that most archaeologists dismiss them as an elaborate hoax. The collection shows humans interacting with dinosaurs and various other 'monsters' such as horned men. Both Hapgood and Earl Stanley Gardner were convinced that the figurines from Acambaro were authentic ancient artifacts that indicated that men and dinosaurs had cohabited together in the recent past, and that dinosaurs had not become extinct many millions of years ago as commonly thought. David Hatcher Childress writes a lengthy introduction concerning Acambaro, the latest testing, and other evidence of 'living' dinosaurs.
