Synopsis

Islamic Architecture explores the development of building design and urban planning across the Middle East from the 7th to the 16th centuries, showcasing how mosques, palaces, and other structures became potent representations of Islamic civilization. Examining the adaptation of pre-existing traditions alongside the creation of uniquely Islamic styles, the book highlights the integration of Roman, Byzantine, and Persian elements. Early Islamic architects skillfully modified these forms to reflect Islamic values, leading to the development of distinctive features like the mihrab and minaret. 

 
The book emphasizes that Islamic architecture embodies more than just aesthetics; it is a tangible expression of a dynamic civilization's intellectual curiosity and artistic creativity. It traces the evolution of mosque design, analyzes palace architecture as a projection of authority, and considers how Islamic principles influenced urban planning. By examining extant buildings, historical texts, and architectural drawings, the book provides valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural context of Islamic architectural history.

    After the successful amphibious invasion on D-Day in June 1944, the Allies began racing east toward Germany and liberating France along the way. It was Hitler’s belief that by splitting the Allied march across Europe in their drive toward Germany, he could cause the collapse of the enemy armies and cut off their supply lines. Part of Hitler’s confidence came as a result of underestimating American resolve, but with the Soviets racing toward Berlin from the east, this final offensive would truly be the last gasp of the German war machine, and the month long campaign was fought over a large area of the Ardennes Forest, through France, Belgium and parts of Luxembourg. From an Allied point of view, the operations were commonly referred to as the Ardennes Offensive, while the German code phrase for the operation was Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (“Operation Watch on the Rhine”), with the initial breakout going under the name of “Operation Mist.” Today, Americans know it best as the Battle of the Bulge. 
    After resisting the German attack, the Allied armies began advancing, and with that, the race to Berlin was truly on. In April 1945, the Allies were within sight of the German capital of Berlin, but Hitler refused to acknowledge the collapsed state of the German military effort even at this desperate stage, and he confined himself to his Berlin bunker where he met for prolonged periods only with those that professed eternal loyalty, even to the point of death. In his last weeks, Hitler continued to blame the incompetence of military officers for Germany’s apparent failings, and he even blamed the German people themselves for a lack of spirit and strength. As their leader dwelled in a state of self-pity, without remorse or mercy but near suicide, the people of Berlin were simply left to await their fate as Russians advanced from the east and the other Allies advanced from the west.

    Friars and Filipinos is a critical and satirical essay in which José Rizal examines the deep-rooted influence of the Spanish colonial friars on Philippine society and governance. Written in response to an article by a Spanish writer, Rizal systematically critiques the hypocrisy, greed, and abuses of power committed by the religious orders, exposing how they manipulated both faith and politics to maintain control over the Filipino people. He contrasts their corruption with the dignity, intelligence, and potential of the Filipino native, advocating for justice, reform, and national consciousness. With clarity and passion, Rizal calls for an end to clerical dominance and the recognition of Filipino rights. This essay stands as a powerful indictment of colonial oppression and a vital piece of the intellectual foundation for Philippine nationalism.

    On the way from Delhi to Jaunpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh is the dusty town of Badshahpur. Even in this nondescript settlement, people receive money via mobile transfer from family members working in distant cities. There are computer training centres offering diploma courses in Bhojpuri, Hindi and English. Here is an example of India's numerous remote towns that have skipped the stage of basic learning and landed straight into digital literacy as they strive to keep up with the times. In his last book, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, writing with Srijan Pal Singh, draws upon examples ranging from entrepreneurship in places like Badshahpur to a sophisticated missile programme like Agni to show how it can be 'Advantage India' in the final lap of the journey to 2020-the landmark year by which he had envisioned the country could transform into an economic power. How can the new initiatives-such as Make in India, Swachh Bharat, smart cities and skill development for the youth-be used to unleash the country's vast potential? Advantage India offers the answer-a movement driven by every home and school to educate the new generation and give a fresh meaning to citizenship.
