 Christoph Reuter, "My Life Is a Weapon: A Modern History of Suicide Bombing" English | ISBN: 0691126151 | 2006 | 208 pages | PDF | 32 MB What kind of people are suicide bombers? How do they justify their actions? In this meticulously researched and sensitively written book, journalist Christoph Reuter argues that popular views of these young men and women-as crazed fanatics or brainwashed automatons-fall short of the mark. In many cases these modern-day martyrs are well-educated young adults who turn themselves into human bombs willingly and eagerly-to exact revenge on a more powerful enemy, perceived as both unjust and oppressive. Suicide assassins are determined to make a difference, for once in their lives, no matter what the cost. As Reuter's many interviews with would-be martyrs, their trainers, friends, and relatives reveal, the bombers are motivated more by how they expect to be remembered-as heroic figures-than by religion-infused visions of a blissful life to come.  Mutagenesis, Cytotoxicity and Crop Improvement : Revolutionizing Food Science by Tariq Ahmad Bhat English | 2021 | ISBN: 1527562964 | 515 Pages | True PDF | 10.5 MB  Ajay Skaria, Shail Mayaram, M. S. S. Pandian, "Muslims, Dalits, and the Fabrications of History" English | 2006 | ISBN: 1905422113, 1905422121 | PDF | pages: 348 | 47.7 mb How have the dominant histories of the Indian subcontinent been constructed and how do they deal with the subject of Muslims and Dalits or 'Untouchables'? Taking a subaltern approach - the view from below - Muslims, Dalits, and the Fabrications of History explores a wide range of issues across history. The essays range across: the creation of the concept of 'the Musalman' through the work of Hindi writers and publicists in the late nineteenth century; how the re-imaginings of the Mappila peasant 'uprisings' in the early twentieth century constructed a popular image of the fanatic Musalman; Gandhi´s attempt to rethink political relations between Hindus and Muslims; the anomalous position of Kabir within the frameworks of caste and canonicity; the history, politics, and legal aspects of the case of the Dalit murdered on the steps of a Hanuman temple; how authority, property and matriliny in Malabar helped to shape colonial law-making; the rhetoric of the bardic tradition; the nationalist imagination.  Music Therapy: Music for Sleep, Anxiety and Pain by Rachel Douglas English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B8CPBZ27 | 57 pages | EPUB | 4.71 Mb "Music as Medicine: The Science of How Music Can Help Induce Sleep, Relieves Anxiety and Pain in Patients" is geared toward music students yet incorporates other disciplines to provide an explanation for why and how we make sense of music and respond to it―cognitively, physically, and emotionally. All human societies in every corner of the globe engage in music. Taken collectively, these musical experiences are widely varied and hugely complex affairs. How did human beings come to be musical creatures? How and why do our bodies respond to music? Why do people have emotional responses to music? Music can play an important part in our lives yet how many of us appreciate the effect it has on our brains, bodies and moods, or understand how we can use music as a medicine? Music has the power to reduce everyday symptoms, such as stress, insomnia, pain, depression, and even snoring, as well as helping challenges found in neurological conditions such as freezing and gait problems, and difficulties with voice and swallowing. With modern advances in technology, scientists are now able to measure the precise effect of music on body and brain. Music as Medicine presents many research studies which have examined the effect of music on various conditions, and offers clear suggestions as to how readers can use music to reduce various symptoms, whether a person thinks themselves musical or not. It covers three aspects of musical involvement: listening to music, moving to music and making music. The author takes a special look at the benefits of music for neurological conditions. Music stimulates many areas of the brain and in the case of damaged brains, it can activate alternative pathways to act in the place of damaged ones. Many of the symptoms discussed are also experienced by people with other diagnoses and by those who are otherwise fit and healthy so this book contains much that is relevant to all.

Oliver Scharbrodt, "Muhammad 'Abduh: Modern Islam and the Culture of Ambiguity" English | ISBN: 1838607307 | 2022 | 280 pages | PDF | 7 MB How to approach the complex intellectual legacy of a modern Muslim thinker like Muhammad 'Abduh (1849-1905)?

Nicholas Royle, "Mother: A Memoir" English | 2020 | pages: 224 | ISBN: 1912408570 | EPUB | 3,1 mb Before the devastating 'loss of her marbles', Mrs Royle, a nurse by profession, is a marvellously no-nonsense character, an autodidact who reads widely and voraciously -from Trollope to Woolf, Tennyson to Foucault -swears at her fox-hunting neighbours, and instils in the young Nick a love of reading and of wildlife that will form his character and his career. In this touching, funny and beautifully written portrait of family life, mother-son relationships and bereavement, Nicholas Royle captures the spirit of post-war parenting as well as of his mother whose dementia and death were triggered by the tragedy of losing her other son-Royle's younger brother -to cancer in his twenties. At once poetic and philosophical, this extraordinary memoir is also a powerful reflection on the climate crisis and 'mother nature', on literature and life writing, on human and non-human animals, and on the links between the maternal and memory itself.  Pierre Manent, "Montaigne: Life without Law " English | ISBN: 0268107815 | 2020 | 288 pages | PDF | 18 MB In Montaigne: Life without Law, originally published in French in 2014 and now translated for the first time into English by Paul Seaton, Pierre Manent provides a careful reading of Montaigne's three-volume work, Essays. Although Montaigne's writing resists easy analysis―Montaigne includes seven essays before he even explicitly states the purpose of the Essays―Manent finds in it a subtle unity, and demonstrates both the philosophical depth of Montaigne's reflections and the distinctive and even radical character of his central ideas. To show Montaigne's unique contribution to political discourse, Manent compares his work to other influential modern philosophers, including Machiavelli, Hobbes, Pascal, and Rousseau. For example, whereas Hobbes proposed the modern state as necessary because of humanity's supposedly natural condition in a "war of all against all," Montaigne did not see the state as the remedy to civil-religious discord. But in fact, speculation on the state does not play a large role in the Essays. Rather, Montaigne's philosophical reflection focuses on the concept of what he calls  Rich Cohen, "Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1250056047 | EPUB | pages: 352 | 4.9 mb Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football is the New York Times bestselling gripping account of a once-in-a-lifetime team and their lone Super Bowl season. |
