Summary

Nomadic Conquests explores how nomadic societies, like the Bedouins and Mongols, reshaped the Middle East's political and military landscape. It challenges the traditional view of nomads as mere raiders, presenting them as active agents of change. The book reveals that the Bedouins' tribal structures and military prowess were instrumental in the rapid expansion of early Islamic caliphates and highlights the Mongols' innovative military tactics, such as their adept use of cavalry, which significantly impacted existing political structures like the Abbasid Caliphate. The book examines the historical context of nomadic life, from social organization to military capabilities, emphasizing environmental factors that influenced their interactions with settled societies. Nomadic Conquests progresses through three sections, starting with the Bedouin influence on early Islamic conquests, then moves onto the Mongol invasions, and concludes with the long-term consequences of nomadic rule, including cultural exchange and the diffusion of military technologies. It adopts an analytical approach, drawing from primary and secondary sources to offer a balanced and accessible overview of this critical period in world history.

  • Practice the Pause - Jesus' Contemplative Practice New Brain Science and What It Means to Be Fully Human - cover

    Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

    These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
 
 
 
But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
 
 
 
In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

    An outrageous miscellany of serious and light-hearted lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tells the tall tale of South Africa.
The fibs come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe:
• Why everything we've learnt about Shaka Zulu, 'Africa's Napoleon', is a pack of lies.
• Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were satanic messages if you played some of The Beatles songs backwards.
• National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue, and integrity … until he wasn't.
• President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were 'special'. Turns out we aren't.
Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor's spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there's something for everyone.
