David Walsh
No: Why Kids of All Ages Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It

2007 y.
Publisher: Free Press
Description: Psychologist Walsh, president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family, tackles a tough subject in this book on how parents can say `no` to their kids and why they should. Walsh argues that we are raising our children in a `Yes` culture that gives kids the message that they can and should have whatever they want whenever they want it. But scientific research, the author contends, reveals that children`s brains are primed to learn the concept of `no` early on, in fact, Walsh points out, instant gratification is not the path to resiliency or success. On the contrary, our `yes` culture leads to disappointment and failure when kids later learn that they can`t always have their way. Walsh`s approach fosters such qualities as perseverance, patience and commitment, emphasizing a balanced parenting style that is neither predominantly negative nor permissive. In age-by-age chapters, he chronicles the developmentally appropriate use of the word, revealing how it helps… [detailed...]

Rien Poortvliet
Noah`s Ark

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Admired all over the world for his remarkable illustrations, Rien Poortvliet showcases his craftsmanship and love for the natural world in Noah`s Ark . Poortvliet`s distinct talent can be seen in both the exceptional variety of animals and the character with which they are portrayed, which have made this book a perennial favorite for readers young and old. Poortvliet tells the tale of Noah and his vision, offering a parallel, nonreligious allegory for those who may not appreciate the story in its original form. He speculates about the design of the Ark, how it might have been built, and how the animals-from zebras to foxes, snakes to rhinoceros-might have lived together aboard the boat. Originally published in 1986 in a larger format (which is now in its fifth printing), Noah`s Ark is being reissued in a new, smaller format. This new edition of an Abrams classic contains all of the exquisite illustrations of the original in a more accessible trim size, and at a… [detailed...]

Brian Arthur Brown
Noah`s Other Son: Bridging the Gap Between the Bible and the Qu`ran

2007 y.
Publisher: Continuum
Description: After the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Muslims became Satanic figures in the eyes of many Westerners and many religious leaders looked upon Islam as an evil religion that promoted terrorism and holy war. Many Christians and Jews, who had inherited centuries of prejudice against Muslims, caricatured Islam, turning it from a religion of beauty with millions of faithful adherents to an ugly and scabrous form of political militancy. In his compelling new book, Canadian pastor Brian Brown engages in conciliatory dialogue with Christians, Jews, and Muslims in an attempt to recover the beauty and value of Islam for the West. Noah`s Other Son helps Jews and Christians understand the role that several biblical figures from their own traditions play in Islam. Do Christians know, for example, that Jesus in the Qur`an was speaking about Muhammad when he promised to send an Advocate or Comforter? Who would have imagined that Noah had a rebellious son who… [detailed...]

Noble Brutes: How Eastern Horses Transformed English Culture (Animals, History, Culture)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `His lordship`s Arabian,` a phrase often heard in eighteenth-century England, described a new kind of horse imported into the British Isles from the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary States of North Africa. Noble Brutes traces how the introduction of these Eastern blood horses transformed early modern culture and revolutionized England`s racing and equestrian tradition. More than two hundred Oriental horses were imported into the British Isles between 1650 and 1750. With the horses came Eastern ideas about horsemanship and the relationship between horses and humans. Landry`s groundbreaking archival research reveals how these Eastern imports profoundly influenced riding and racing styles, as well as literature and sporting art. After only a generation of crossbreeding on British soil, the English Thoroughbred was born, and with it the gentlemanly ideal of free forward movement over a country as an enactment of English liberties. This radical reinterpretation of Ottoman and Arab influences… [detailed...]

Maurice Keen
Nobles, Knights and Men-at-Arms in the Middle Ages

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The literature of chivalry and of courtly love has left an indelible impression on western ideas. What is less clear is how far the contemporary warrior aristocracy took this literature to heart and how far its ideals had influence in practice, especially in war. These are questions that Maurice Keen is uniquely qualified to answer. This book is a collection of Maurice Keen`s articles and deals with both the ideas of chivalry and the reality of warfare. He discusses brotherhood-in-arms, courtly love, crusades, heraldry, knighthood, the law of arms, tournaments and the nature of nobility, as well as describing the actual brutality of medieval warfare and the lure of plunder. While the standards set by chivalric codes undoubtedly had areal, if intangible, influence on the behaviour of contemporaries, chivalry`s idealisation of the knight errant also enhanced the attraction of war, endorsing its horrors with a veneer of acceptability.

Description: Most Americans are shocked to discover that slavery still exists in the United States. Yet 145 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the CIA estimates that 14,500 to17,000 foreigners are “trafficked” annually into the United States, threatened with violence, and forced to work against their will. Modern people unanimously agree that slavery is abhorrent. How, then, can it be making a reappearance on American soil?Award-winning journalist John Bowe examines how outsourcing, subcontracting, immigration fraud, and the relentless pursuit of “everyday low prices” have created an opportunity for modern slavery to regain a toehold in the American economy. Bowe uses thorough and often dangerous research, exclusive interviews, eyewitness accounts, and rigorous economic analysis to examine three illegal workplaces where employees are literally or virtually enslaved. From rural Florida to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the U.S. commonwealth of Saipan in the Western Pacific, he documents coercive and… [detailed...]
