The Economic Gulag: Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Inequality By Robert Bahlieda 2018 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1433153769 | PDF | 2 MB The Economic Gulag: Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Inequality is a trenchant critical analysis of the devastating ravages of capitalist patriarchy in our modern society and its pervasive and increasingly destabilizing negative influence on our views and values regarding power, gender, wealth, and inequality. It extends the investigation begun in The Democratic Gulag (2015) that argued that we live in a social and ideological gulag dominated by the meta-ideology of patriarchy that has defined and circumscribed every aspect of the social experience of humanity for millennia to the detriment of all. The Economic Gulag explores how patriarchy is infused within capitalist theory and practice. It offers a socially democratic critique and alternatives to reform its dominance. Through the lens of critical theory and the use of current empirical and statistical research, The Economic Gulag deconstructs the modern neoliberal capitalist wealth myth and its underlying theory of homo economicus. This book exposes a system rife with deception, inequality, human exploitation, and misery that is touted as the unchallenged champion of democratic individualism and success. The Economic Gulag makes a powerful case for the pressing need to dismantle the democratic and economic gulags in which we live and replace them with a new ideal social democracy based on true economic equality and fairness in a post-patriarchal and post-capitalist world. It concludes with fifteen radical, powerful, and transformative recommendations for change that will provide the "shock therapy" required to usher in a new socially democratic order liberated from patriarchy and all its vestiges.
 Wiebke Denecke, "The Dynamics of Masters Literature: Early Chinese Thought from Confucius to Han Feizi" English | 2011 | pages: 385 | ISBN: 0674056094 | PDF | 9,7 mb The importance of the rich corpus of "Masters Literature" that developed in early China since the fifth century BCE has long been recognized. But just what are these texts? Scholars have often approached them as philosophy, but these writings have also been studied as literature, history, and anthropological, religious, and paleographic records. How should we translate these texts for our times?  The Divine Texts By Imam Mustafa Ibn Ahmad Ash-Shatti 2008 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 189731261X | PDF | 38 MB The Salafi Call has been preached in earnest to Orthodox Muslims for more than 200 years. But what is this call? And what does it mean? Who is Muhammad ibn `Abdul Wahhab and should Muslims be concerned for themselves or their children? The author, Imam Mustafa ash-Shatti, answers these questions and gives well rounded answers. And with more than 300 footnotes, the common Muslim will accurately be able to assess Salafi yyah's goals and what side he or she should be on.  Gerald Hawting, "The Development of Islamic Ritual" English | 2006 | pages: 421 | ISBN: 0860787125 | PDF | 18,4 mb This volume is concerned with the origins, development and character of ritual in Islam. The focus is upon the rituals associated with the five 'pillars of Islam': the credal formula, prayer, alms, fasting and pilgrimage. Since the 19th century academic scholarship has sought to investigate Muslim rituals from the point of view of history, the study of religion, and the social sciences, and a set of the most important and influential contributions to this debate, some of them translated into English for the first time, is brought together here. Participation in the ritual life of Islam is for most Muslims the predominant expression of their adherence to the faith and of their religious identity. The Development of Islamic Ritual shows some of the ways in which this important aspect of Islam developed to maturity in the first centuries of Islamic history.  The Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire English | 2011 | ISBN: 1435136047 | 470 Pages | EPUB (True) | 3 MB Like England's Charles II, the Ottoman Empire took "an unconscionable time dying." Since the seventeenth century, observers had been predicting the collapse of this so-called Sick Man of Europe, yet it survived all its rivals. As late as 1910, the Ottoman Empire straddled three continents. Unlike the Romanovs, Habsburgs, or Hohenzollerns, the House of Osman, which had allied itself with the Kaiser, was still recognized as an imperial dynasty during the peace conference following World War I.  The Creation of Adam and Eve: History of Mankind by Steve Preston English | May 8, 2014 | ISBN: 1499387369 | 309 pages | EPUB | 6.89 Mb This book covers the first 20 thousand years of the creation known as Adamic man or Cro-magnon. Initially created about 40 thousand years ago, around the world we find the same stories. Adam was , somehow, placed in a garden in the middle of Afghanistan according to details in our Bible and he was finally kicked out because of his interaction with the Nephalimic people and one named Lilith. This covers the trials of this creation up until about 20 thousand years ago.  Theo Hermans, "The Conference of the Tongues" English | 2007 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 1905763050, 1138147559 | EPUB | 3,0 mb The Conference of the Tongues offers a series of startling reflections on fundamental questions of translation. It throws new light on familiar problems and opens up some radically different avenues of thought. It engages with value conflicts in translation and the social accountability of translators, and turns the old issue of equivalence inside out. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary and historical examples, the book teases out the translator's subject-position in translations, makes notions of intertextuality and irony serviceable for translation studies, tries to think translation without transformation, and uses a controversial sociological model to cast a cold eye on the entire world of translating.
