This volume of 12 studies, mainly published during the past 15 years, begins with an overview of the Islamic astronomy covering not only sophisticated mathematical astronomy and instrumentation but also simple folk astronomy, and the ways in which astronomy was used in the service of religion. It continues with discussions of the importance of Islamic instruments and scientific manuscript illustrations. Three studies deal with the regional schools that developed in Islamic astronomy, in this case, Egypt and the Maghrib. Another focuses on a curious astrological table for calculating the length of life of any individual. The notion of the world centred on the sacred Kaaba in Mecca inspired both astronomers and proponents of folk astronomy to propose methods for finding the qibla, or sacred direction towards the Kaaba; their activities are surveyed here. The interaction between the mathematical and folk traditions in astronomy is then illustrated by an 11th-century text on the qibla in Transoxania. The last three studies deal with an account of the geodetic measurements sponsored by the Caliph al-Ma''mûn in the 9th century; a world-map in the tradition of the 11th-century polymath al-Bîrûnî, alas corrupted by careless copying; and a table of geographical coordinates from 15th-century Egypt.

When thieves attempt to steal a mysterious package from Forthwick University, Addison does the unthinkable—he takes it himself and is propelled on an adventure of a lifetime across a world of steam and diesel on the brink of war.

Now, the intrepid group of adventurers must race against time to uncover the fabled Index of Alkeme before fanatics can use its secrets to subjugate humankind. If you enjoy dogfights with air pirates, encounters with mystical monks and daemons, and experiencing the dangers of a high-stakes adventure first-hand, you will love this book.

Two remarkable Iranian world-maps were discovered in 1989 and 1995. Both are made of brass and date from 17th-century Iran. Mecca is at the centre and a highly sophisticated longitude and latitude grid enables the user to determine the direction and distance to Mecca for anywhere in the world between Andalusia and China. Prior to the discovery of these maps it was thought that such cartographic grids were conceived in Europe ca. 1910. This richly-illustrated book presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes the two world-maps in detail. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad.

Success in life involves not just about doing the right things, but also not doing the wrong things. Doing the right things alone will not guarantee success because if you are doing the right things and also doing some wrongs things, the effects of the two will end up cancelling each other out and such person could end up becoming worse off. Being successful require consistent actions, that is being consistent in doing a series of right things that will stack up to give success. Successful people develop a clear mindset on their goals and what they need to do to get there, they understand that without clarity there is no direction. Imagine trying to travel to a destination that you have not been before and you don’t know how to get there, you have no plan, no map and no GPS navigational system, obviously any path will seems like the obvious choice to get you to your destination. It is however certain that such path will not get you to the destination but to somewhere you did not desire, and most likely that will not be a good destination or a preferred choice. And because there is no clarity on how to get to the destination, when obstacles and challenges shows up as they always do, such a persons with no plan of action and objective focus will quickly find every reason to quit.

A rollicking account of the bizarre hostage drama that gave rise to the term "Stockholm syndrome." On the morning of August 23, 1973, a man wearing a wig, makeup, and a pair of sunglasses walked into the main branch of Sveriges Kreditbank, a prominent bank in central Stockholm. He ripped out a submachine gun, fired it into the ceiling, and shouted, "The party starts!" This was the beginning of a six-day hostage crisis—and media circus—that would mesmerize the world, drawing into its grip everyone from Sweden’s most notorious outlaw to the prime minister himself. As policemen and reporters encircled the bank, the crime-in-progress turned into a high-stakes thriller broadcast on live television. Inside the building, meanwhile, complicated emotional relationships developed between captors and captives that would launch a remarkable new concept into the realm of psychology, hostage negotiation, and popular culture. Based on a wealth of previously unpublished sources, including rare film footage and unprecedented access to the main participants, Six Days in August captures the surreal events in their entirety, on an almost minute-by-minute basis. It is a rich human drama that blurs the lines between loyalty and betrayal, obedience and defiance, fear and attraction—and a groundbreaking work of nonfiction that forces us to consider "Stockholm syndrome" in an entirely new light.

The interconnectedness of communities, organisations, governing bodies, policy and individuals in the field of disaster studies has never been accurately examined or comprehensively modelled. This kind of study is vital for planning policy and emergency responses and assessing individual and community vulnerability, resilience and sustainability as well as mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts; it therefore deserves attention. Disasters and Social Resilience fills this gap by introducing to the field of disaster studies a fresh methodology and a model for examining and measuring impacts and responses to disasters. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory, which is used to look at communities holistically, is outlined and illustrated through a series of chapters, guiding the reader from the theory''s underpinnings through research illustrations and applications focused on each level of Bronfenbrenner’s ecosystems, culminating in an integration chapter. The final chapter provides policy recommendations for local and national government bodies and emergency providers to help individuals and communities prepare and withstand the effects of a range of disasters. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of disaster and emergency management, disaster readiness and risk reduction (DRR), and to scholars and students of more general climate change and sustainability studies.

First published in 1984. This book brings together and develops the economic theory relating to the design and operation of systems of non-central government — positing major developments in several areas. It considers what functions systems most suitably perform in non-central governments, and their appropriate size and structure. How these authorities might finance themselves — by taxes, charges or loans — is analysed in detail. It also examines the use of grants by higher tiers of government and how such programmes should be designed. Concentrating on contemporary economic concerns, it relates the theory to practice in countries such as Australia, Canada, West Germany, the UK and USA.

Though Ross Youngs has been enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame since 1972, few have given his remarkable career its due. Born in Shiner and raised in San Antonio, Youngs played his first game as a professional at the age of sixteen, and just three years later, his contract was purchased by the New York Giants, one of baseball''s elite teams in the early twentieth century.

"Death in the city of light" is the true story of the hunt for Marcel Petiot, a respectable physician by day, who turned out to be a brutal serial killer by night in Nazi-occupied Paris. Petiot was charged with 27 grisly murders, though his victims - many of whom were Jews seeking to escape the Nazis - may have numbered in excess of 100, for Petiot was not only skilled at evading detection and capture, he was also expert at dismembering his victims beyond any chance of identification. The investigation was led by Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu of the Homicide Squad, who became entangled with a cast of captivating characters through the shadowy world of Gestapo, gangsters, nightclub owners, Resistance fighters, pimps, prostitutes, spies, and various nefarious figures of the Parisian underground.

Lurking in the background is the greater instance of the 1967 CHICAGO Snow Storm, that incorporates the lesser story of one man, Lawrence Godfrey, and the acquired baggage that has created barriers based on circumstances that have alienated him from his family. Mainly, between him and his son, Francis, who resists his father''s attempts to get him to commit to accepting his place as the actively on-the-job working heir to the family business. Another of the stories within the story is of the loss of sexual intimacy between Lawrence and his wife, Esther. And, of the tensions resulting in his sister, Tiara, and her African born husband, Dewitt, being separated based on the prejudicial notions influenced on Tiara by her snobbish former boy friend who is now her on the job boss. Nevertheless, since Lawrence has learned he is the target for assassination, it is Dewitt, to whom Lawrence entrusts as next, after himself, to run the family businesses and protect the family. Events occurring from 1961 - 1967, include a time when Martin Luther King Jr''s non-violent civil rights movement was waning, of the emergence of Jesse Jackson Sr. whom the media erroneously labeled as a closet "Black Militant" type, but who was in fact a believer in the capitalistic system, and it is at the time of the rise of the feminist, and Gay movements. The play points out that the imperfect man-made-up positives, and negatives involving our meager importance as we continue even today to waste our time for evolving, living separated by social fences obsessed ultimately with actions and acts like "pigs" and so we have no regard for self-analysis and self-control, we scramble and trample and "kill" each other to be first to "feed" at the "trough", the issues we treat as crucial, but, to the world as a whole are considered as insignificant when compared to (?) ... nature, and the continuation of the universe.
