Book Synopsis Sword and Scimitar by : Raymond Ibrahim
Download or read book Sword and Scimitar written by Raymond Ibrahim and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the often-violent conflict between Islam and the West, shedding a revealing light on current hostilities The West and Islam -- the sword and scimitar -- have clashed since the mid-seventh century, when, according to Muslim tradition, the Roman emperor rejected Prophet Muhammad's order to abandon Christianity and convert to Islam, unleashing a centuries-long jihad on Christendom. Sword and Scimitar chronicles the decisive battles that arose from this ages-old Islamic jihad, beginning with the first major Islamic attack on Christian land in 636, through the Muslim occupation of nearly three-quarters of Christendom which prompted the Crusades, followed by renewed Muslim conquests by Turks and Tatars, to the European colonization of the Muslim world in the 1800s, when Islam largely went on the retreat -- until its reemergence in recent times. Using original sources in Arabic and Greek, preeminent historian Raymond Ibrahim describes each battle in vivid detail and explains how these wars and the larger historical currents of the age reflect the cultural fault lines between Islam and the West. The majority of these landmark battles -- including the battles of Yarmuk, Tours, Manzikert, the sieges at Constantinople and Vienna, and the crusades in Syria and Spain--are now forgotten or considered inconsequential. Yet today, as the West faces a resurgence of this enduring Islamic jihad, Sword and Scimitar provides the needed historical context to understand the current relationship between the West and the Islamic world -- and why the Islamic State is merely the latest chapter of an old history.

Book Synopsis The Best of Two Lives by : Doris R. Ayyoub
Download or read book The Best of Two Lives written by Doris R. Ayyoub and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best of Two Lives is a love story as well as family history. It is shaped as a journey, beginning with the cultural foundations of Jordan and the United States. Weaving threads of family stories, Doris introduces us to compelling characters, and describes ways of life that might be forgotten if not for projects such as this. Ibrahim's early years are detailed as he lived in a mixed Muslim-Christian community in Jordan, and Doris tells of growing up as a small-town conservative Christian in Oregon. One of the fundamental messages is that despite superficial differences, at the root, Arab lives and concerns in the Middle East are relatable, just as those of Americans in the United States. Doris never shrinks from showing negative attributes that she couldn't be blamed for wanting to hide, and that differentiates her book from a purely family history. There's something here to help us see our own families more clearly and honestly, and to understand them with compassion.

Book excerpt: This is a book with successful track record of teaching to speak English with great confidence and style. It provides all the necessary material for conversation practice. Lessons have been prepared by picking up familiar topics and creating extended dialogues based on everyday situations. The exercise after each lesson provides a variety of sentence patterns, word lists, grammatical intricacies, subtle variations in word/ phrase meanings, with their usage in different situations, and showcases the multiple ways of saying the same thing. These also provide ample hands-on practice through fill-in-the-blanks exercises. There is also a pronunciation guide with short notes on stress and rhythm. At the end of the book there is a treasure trove in the form of: an alert against words often confused between words that are always used in their plural form uncountable nouns words that are often misspelt words that are often mispronounced exercises to equip you against common mistakes that are often made. In the fourth edition, some more expressions have been included that are now becoming popular. The book is thus much richer in expressions and dialogues, and is in a more attractive format.

Book Synopsis Languid Bodies, Grounded Stances by : Nandini Sikand
Download or read book Languid Bodies, Grounded Stances written by Nandini Sikand and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely believed to be the oldest Indian dance tradition, odissi has transformed over the centuries from a sacred temple ritual to a transnational genre performed—and consumed—throughout the world. Building on ethnographic research in multiple locations, this book charts the evolution of odissi dance and reveals the richness, rigor, and complexity of the form as it is practiced today. As author and dancer-choreographer Nandini Sikand shows, the story of odissi is ultimately a story of postcolonial India, one in which identity, nationalism, tradition, and neoliberal politics dramatically come together.

Download or read book Letters of Light written by J.R. Osborn and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabic script remains one of the most widely employed writing systems in the world, for Arabic and non-Arabic languages alike. Focusing on naskh—the style most commonly used across the Middle East—Letters of Light traces the evolution of Arabic script from its earliest inscriptions to digital fonts, from calligraphy to print and beyond. J. R. Osborn narrates this storied past for historians of the Islamic and Arab worlds, for students of communication and technology, and for contemporary practitioners. The partnership of reed pen and paper during the tenth century inaugurated a golden age of Arabic writing. The shape and proportions of classical calligraphy known as al-khatt al-mansub were formalized, and variations emerged to suit different types of content. The rise of movable type quickly led to European experiments in printing Arabic texts. Ottoman Turkish printers, more sensitive than their European counterparts to the script’s nuances, adopted movable type more cautiously. Debates about “reforming” Arabic script for print technology persisted into the twentieth century. Arabic script continues to evolve in the digital age. Programmers have adapted it to the international Unicode standard, greatly facilitating Arabic presence online and in word processing. Technology companies are investing considerable resources to facilitate support of Arabic in their products. Professional designers around the world are bringing about a renaissance in the Arabic script community as they reinterpret classical aesthetics and push new boundaries in digital form.
