Sinossi

Shatt al Arab Faith examines the profound religious and historical importance of the Shatt al Arab waterway, formed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, within Islamic history. It argues that the river is more than a geographical feature; it embodies the interwoven nature of faith, history, and geography. The book highlights how this region, central to the cradle of civilization in Mesopotamia, became a critical point for the evolution of Islamic beliefs and identity.

 
Intriguingly, the Shatt al Arab is not merely a physical location but a living testament embedded in the collective memory of the Islamic world. The book explores the river's significance through historical narratives, diverse religious practices, and its modern-day importance to Islamic identity. It traces the river's presence in early Islamic texts, examines rituals and beliefs associated with it, and investigates its role in contemporary geopolitical challenges.

 
The approach combines historical analysis with contemporary relevance, offering insights into how the past shapes the present. The book progresses from introducing the geographical and religious context to delving into specific historical periods, religious practices, and the river's symbolic role, drawing from diverse sources like historical texts, travelogues, and oral histories.

    What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. 
     
     
     
    This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future. This book will be essential for anyone who wants to understand how the most powerful tech companies of our time are transforming the global economy.

    Decrees were legislative acts of the highest Soviet institutions, primarily of the Council of People's Commissars (the highest executive body — Sovnarkom) and of VTsIK (the highest legislative body between sessions of the Congress of Soviets).
    The Bolshevik Initial Decrees were announced as soon as the Bolsheviks declared their success in the October Revolution (October 26, 1917). The Decrees seemed to conform to the popular Bolshevik slogan "Peace, Land and Bread". The slogan succinctly articulated the grievances of the Russian peasantry, armed forces and proletariat.
    The Bolsheviks were not opportunists but benevolent idealists; the point of the Decrees was to bring about a better quality of life for the Russian people. Regardless of which view is the more accurate account, it is clear from these opposing perspectives that the history of the Initial Decrees is a politically charged issue. This is perhaps because historians use the Decrees to try to discern whether the implementation of Marxist thought has totalitarian tendencies.

    If you are queer or transgender, you may feel like you have to hide certain aspects of yourself in order to "blend into" society. You may even feel ashamed of your differences. You aren't alone. Many queer and trans people feel disconnected from their authentic selves, or have internalized negative beliefs. So, how can you fully embrace the beauty of who you are? 
     
     
     
    All Parts Welcome offers skills grounded in internal family systems (IFS) therapy to help you build self-compassion, strength, and resilience as you reconnect with, reclaim, and befriend parts of yourself. The concept of multiplicity in IFS will show you how to honor all parts of your identity and help you gain a greater understanding of these parts. 
     
     
     
    This workbook will help you: heal the pain of rejection; honor coping mechanisms that have helped you; identify what matters to you; set boundaries; build community and meaningful connection; and boost your mental health. 
     
     
      
    IFS is about inclusion and belonging—about making space for the complexity of our identities and experiences, including both the challenging and joyful ones. If you're ready to celebrate all of the parts that make you you, this workbook can help you get started.
