Biblical Figures in the Islamic Faith (9781498251624)

""Vicchio believes that by understanding how much Muslim tradition overlaps with the biblical traditions of Judaism and Christianity, we might begin to expose a wedge of common ground on which understanding and respect might begin to be built. ""Vicchio begins with a brief introduction sketching some fundamentals of Muslim history and culture, and clearing away some common misconceptions. His main goal, however, is to give us a detailed look at the treatment of biblical figures in the literature of Islam. The broad range of his research and presentation is startling. He begins with the Qur'an but continues on to the collected writing of the roughly two hundred years after Mohammed (Hadith, Sunnah, Akhbar) that came to be regarded as authoritative in the various traditions that developed in early Islam. He then traces the interest in these biblical figures on into modern treatments of the role of these figures in Muslim scholarship and how these figures are under...

Ugly Americans (9780099455059)

The true story of the Ivy League hedge fund cowboys who gambled with the dangerously high stakes of the Asian stock market. John Malcolm, high school football hero and Princeton graduate made his millions back in the early '90s, a time when dozens of elite young American graduates made their fortunes in hedge funds in the Far East, beating the Japanese at their own game, riding the crashing waves of the Asian stock markets, gambling at impossibly high stakes and winning. Failure meant not only bankruptcy and disgrace a la Nick Leeson, but potentially even death - at the hands of the Japanese Yakuza: one of the world's most notoriously violent organised crime syndicates. Ugly Americans tells Malcolm's story, and that of others like him, in a high octane book, filled with glamour, money and the dangers these incur, this true story is a cross between Mezrich's own best-selling Bringing Down the House and Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker. ...

When I Was Young in the Mountains (9780140548754)

When I was young in the mountains, Grandfather came home in the evening covered with the black dust of a coal mine. Only his lips were clean, and he used them to kiss the top of my head. Growing up in the mountains was special. Grandmother made hot corn bread and fried okra. There were trips to the swimming hole and Crawford's store. Each pleasure was one to share - and remember. And each is part of a gentle story, illuminated with perceptively happy paintings, that evokes the love of a way of life, of a family, and most of all, of a place.

Enciklopedia Vortaro Esperanto-Germana (9782369600329)

Eugen WÜster komencis publikigi sian Enciklopedian vortaron Esperanto-germana en la jaro 1923. Lia vidis en tiu vortaro la unuan paŝon, «provon sur la vojo al la internacia sinteza vortaro de Esperanto». WÜster skribis: «Se iam estos eble kunigi la afero- kaj lingvo-spertajn fortojn de la esperanta movado por verkado de internacia enciklopedia vortaro de "oficiale rekomendataj" esprimoj, tiam la unua tasko estos kolektado kaj kribro de tio, kio jam ekzistas. En tiu senco fari antaulaboron por la Provizora Vortarego, estis la ĉefa intenco de la verkado de ĉi tiu vortolibro. Ni ne konsideris tiom grava la kompletecon de ĉiuj esprimoj foje uzitaj kiel la fikson de la signifoj, la sinonimikon kaj la frazeologion.» Eugen WÜster sukcesis libroforme aperigi nur kvar volumojn, kiuj kovras la literojn A ĝis K (sed K ne tute komplete). Antau kelkaj semajnoj aperis aparta libro, eldonita de la interlingvisto Detlev Blanke, kun la fino de la litero K kaj la litero L. Estus dezirinde ke t...

Mennonites in Texas : The Quiet in the Land (9781585444977)

With their distinctive head coverings, plain dress, and quiet, unassuming demeanor, the Mennonites are a striking presence within the often flamboyant and proud people of Texas. If you have seen them at a gas station, in a grocery store, or even at the Dallas - Fort Worth airport, you have probably taken note and wondered how they came to be there. In this photographic tour of two Texas Mennonite communities, separated by almost 450 miles, Laura L. Camden and Susan Gaetz Duarte introduce you to the Beachy Amish Mennonites of Lott, a small community of approximately 160 people in Central Texas, and the very different Mennonites of Seminole, a West Texas farming community of more than five thousand residents and five separate congregations, several of which still speak the Mennonite Low German. Spending more than a year getting to know the families, participating in day-to-day activities, and photographing the unique culture of the communities, Camden and Gaetz Duarte developed deep insi...

Zwischen Resignation Und Gewalt : Jugendprotest in Den Achtziger Jahren (9783810007230)

Die hier publizierten Beiträge stellen eine Auswahl von Untersu- chungsergebnissen aus unserer fünfjährigen Forschungsarbeit über das Protestverhalten von Jugendlichen dar. Sie sind im Rahmen zweier Projekte entstanden, die vom Bundesministerium für Ju- gend, Familie, Frauen und Gesundheit in Auftrag gegeben und am Zentrum für Psychosomatische Medizin der Universität Gießen durchgeführt wurden: Im ersten Projekt (1982 - 1983) lag der Schwerpunkt auf den Kerngruppen des neuen Jugendprotestes: den Hausbesetzern, den Punks und den Alternativen. Im zweiten Pro- jekt (1985 - 1987) richtete sich unser Forschungsinteresse auf die Weiterentwicklung dieser Protestszene nach Abflauen der Bewe- gung und auf andere ins Blickfeld rückende Protestgruppen, z. B. Skinheads, Autonome und Friedensbewegte. Das Forschungsvorhaben wurde 1981 angeregt durch den turbu- lenten Verlauf einer Diskussion im Zweiten Deutschen Fernsehen zwischen jugendlichen Hausbesetzern, Punks und Vertretern aus Politik, Kultur ...

The Big Short : Inside the Doomsday Machine (9780393338829)

The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking. Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.
