Crime & mystery2017Echo of Someone Else’s War

The works of Juan Miramar presented in this book, as always, are distinguished by refined language, subtle humor and a peculiar philosophical view of life, as well as a bright oriental flavor. The story "Echo of Someone Else’s War" impresses with its fascinating dynamic plot. A scientist and writer, a former translator of international peacekeeping forces, suddenly finds himself in the thick of events of a modern secret war. The distant past extends its tentacles into the present, not only forcing the main character to remember his military experience, but also prompting him to choose a side in Arab and non-Arab conflicts that are foreign to him.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2024Plagues of the heart
Crisis and covenanting in a seventeenth-century Scottish town
by Michelle D. Brock
Using a wide range of archival material, Plagues of the heart provides a fresh understanding of religion and identity not only in seventeenth-century Scotland, but in protestant communities across the early modern world grappling with a range of interrelated crises. By examining the 'culture of covenanting' in the southwestern port-city of Ayr between the British civil wars and the Revolution of 1688, this book reveals how adherence to the National Covenant of 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 informed the identities and lived experiences of a generation of Scots. This is the compelling story of one Scottish town and its remarkable minister, but it demonstrates how in the early modern period, especially when it came to matters of faith, the local was imbedded rather than isolated, engaged rather than insular.

2010The Provision of Reason to the Piety of the Heart
(Sharia - Creed)
by Ramza Khair Allah
In this book, I have presented in an easy and accessible manner what I have learned about my religion that I must convey to every Muslim and Muslimah. "Convey from me, even if it is just one verse," as narrated by Bukhari. Knowledge is a duty for every Muslim and Muslimah. Allah says, "Allah raises those of you who have believed and those who were given knowledge, degrees." And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to Ali ibn Abi Talib, "By Allah, if Allah guides a single man through you, it is better for you than red camels," agreed upon. He also said, "When a son of Adam dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge that benefits, or a righteous child who prays for him." These are attempts we have made to serve our religion and benefit our fellow believers. O Allah, Protector of the believers and Guardian of the righteous, make this work of mine accepted, and make my efforts in it praiseworthy and beneficial.

DIAM DALAM GEMPITA
by FAZLEENA HISHAMUDDIN, FINN ANUAR
Women are mysterious creatures. The behaviour and characteristics of women can often be perceived as enigmatic and unpredictable. The intricacies of their world are often misunderstood and disregarded, leading women to suppress their emotions. The book "Diam Dalam Gempita" presents 14 short stories addressing social topics such as taboo subjects, discrimination, stigma, freedom of speech, injustice, and the status and role of women in the contemporary era. However, there is no intention to falsely accuse an individual. In this context, both men and women are regarded as equals. Readers will be immersed in topics such as the chaotic yet majestic world of motherhood, the epic pandemic, the legal system for girls, the poverty of menstruation, child marriages, human trafficking, the technological capability to conquer humans, sex and intimation, and the role and struggle of husbands. The stories would open readers up to a whole new view of gender roles and how far we have come. A fluid and modern style of writing that is easy to read. Thought-provoking and bold, Diam Dalam Gempita delves into one’s realities.

Fiction2021Composition Biography: Thoughts and Confusion Carry Me
by Said Bengrad
The book is a story that combines childhood living in the 1960s deserts, before current forms of technology and virtualization. In this narrative text, it was not a matter of resurrecting a moment in a fleeting life in a non-stop chronology, but of shaping it into concepts that reconstruct it in an abstract way. The text does not present an individual story, but rather redraws the boundaries of an entire generation’s experience, a generation that saw the light after Morocco’s independence, with all of its subsequent achievements, failures, victories, and tragedies. The narrator in the text does not present ready-made theories; instead, he captures life in its events and facts and elevates it to an abstract level pending contemplation. The event in the text is an excuse for restoring life in the form of a “human experience,” and that is the outlet for returning academic knowledge to its role as an incubator for people’s concerns as depicted by their narratives, stories, and beliefs. What people experience by instinct; the story turns into another story constructed in the abstract. We do not simply live, we also contemplate our own living, and this is the sublime function of narration.

Zoology & animal sciencesMay 2021Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle
by Robert Blair
Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

Colonialism & imperialismMarch 1905Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Charles Marlow. Marlow tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness.
