Mohammed

F. Roy Dibble

Sinopsis

In "Mohammed," Roy F. Dibble presents a meticulously researched and compelling exploration of the life of the Islamic prophet, framed within the intricate socio-political landscape of 7th-century Arabia. Dibble employs a narrative style that seamlessly intertwines scholarly analysis with accessible prose, making this work suitable for both academic audiences and general readers. The book delves into the cultural and religious contexts that shaped Mohammed's teachings, examining the profound impact of his message on the formation of Islamic civilization and its continuing relevance today. Dibble, a noted scholar of religious studies, has dedicated much of his career to the examination of the interplay between faith and history. His extensive background in Middle Eastern cultures and languages, combined with rigorous textual analysis of early Islamic sources, informs every aspect of this book. This dedication reveals his respect for the subject matter, allowing him to present a nuanced portrayal of Mohammed that challenges simplistic interpretations and invites deeper understanding. I highly recommend "Mohammed" to anyone seeking an informed and thought-provoking account of one of history's most influential figures. Dibble's balanced approach not only elevates our comprehension of the prophet's legacy but also encourages a broader appreciation of the complexities within Islamic theology and history.

Reflections of My Life

Betty Dawson

Living in a quiet corner of rural Northern Ireland in the 50s and 60s, children had an idyllic freedom to explore plus a healthy respect for hard work and community spirit. Moving from this, to the bustle and confusion of London, enjoying a short spell living in historic Bath to then living in the Far East, was in itself a lifetime experience. But follow this on with a broken marriage, a protracted divorce and the harsh realities of living with the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland, was a route not experienced by everyone. Starting again, in the hitherto unknown world of a 'word smith' in Public Relations, which included working across the UK, Europe, Bosnia (during and post-conflict) and in Kosovo (post-conflict), was a new route. This process was an accidental rather than a deliberate choice. It flowed out of necessity, drawn by instinctive reaction to circumstances rather than by design. These experiences form the basis of this narrative.

World cup 2026 – fc geopolitics -

Kévin Veyssière

At a time when Donald Trump intends to make the 2026 World Cup a showcase of power for the United States and a political instrument in the service of his ideology, one thing is clear: the soccer World Cup has always been political. National team players are «ambassadors in spikes», responsible for presenting their country’s symbols, identity and image to the world. Behind the goals, the exploits and the emotions, the World Cup is an instrument of soft power and power projection, sometimes revealing the international balance of power.
In this new edition, Kévin Veyssière tells 26 stories in which the round ball is at the heart of major international political issues. How did Mussolini use the 1934 World Cup to further his fascist regime? Why did the match between Kuwait and France in 1982 give rise to the first diplomatic arbitration in World Cup history? What went on behind the scenes of the «peace match» between the USA and Iran in 1998? What do the World Cups in Qatar 2022, Saudi Arabia 2034 and the 48-team World Cup 2026 have in store for us?
World Cup 2026 invites the curious, whether soccer fans or budding geographers, to travel the world through great sporting moments, while helping to understand the geopolitical stakes of our planet.

In Harm’s Way: The Memoir of a...

Teresa Thornhill

‘Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.’ Louise Allen
When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children?
Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court.
What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care?
Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption?
The Family Court makes life-changing decisions about the most vulnerable children in England and Wales behind closed doors. It's an institution tasked with protecting the youngers most at risk, but how often does it make the right decisions?
In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection – in both its social work and legal aspects – often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children.
‘A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn’t have to be this way so what can be done about it?’ – Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
‘This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children’s social worker and probation officer; it’s a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.’ – Joanna Hughes, former children’s social worker and probation officer.
Thornhill's In Harm’s Way is a compelling autobiography that delves into the personal experiences of those entangled in the courts and enforcement system. This non-fiction memoir is a biography of the system itself, highlighting its shortcomings and the urgent need for reform.
For fans of Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings)

The Maverick Effect - The Inside...

Harish Mehta

'The customs officer told me that I needed to leave samples of what I was exporting with him. I was forced to leave the floppy disk of the software with him. The diligent officer immediately planted a stapler pin through the floppy disk and attached it to the form, thereby destroying the media and rendering it unreadable. For the longest time, everybody's understanding of software differed immensely. This confusion continued into the 1980s, and it was getting challenging to grow the business. The more I met young software entrepreneurs, the more I realized that my frustration was not unique. Something had to be done.'
In the mid-1970s, a young, twenty-something man living an American dream threw away a lucrative job as a database manager and came back to India. At that time, India had no IT industry to speak of; computers were a novelty, and the nation was trapped in socio-economic backwardness and a labyrinthine License Raj.
As young Harish Mehta struggled to find his stride, he realized that India's nascent and fragmented IT industry acutely needed a unified voice that could speak to the government, change laws and harness the country's potential. In an unlikely alliance of headstrong and competing young professionals, he united other IT entrepreneurs to envision a world-beating association that would revolutionize Indian IT: NASSCOM.
The Maverick Effect is the extraordinary story of this band of dreamers who joined hands to transform a nation while also changing the lens through which the world looked at India. Valued at a staggering $200 billion today, the Indian
IT industry directly employs more than four million people. It is the largest forex earner and has helped millions of Indians beat poverty and rise to the middle-income group. Honest, open and inspiring, Harish Mehta's journey proves that no vision is impossible if unrelenting, kindred spirits unite.
