| When
Baghdad
Ruled the Muslim World: The Rise
and Fall of
Islam's Greatest Dynasty
|
| by: Hugh Kennedy |
A "remarkable narrative history" (London Times) of the
dynasty that ruled from Baghdad during Islam's greatest
era
The
"golden age of Islam" in the eighth and ninth centuries was as
significant to world history as the Roman Empire was in the
first
and second centuries. Islamic culture and enterprise stretched
from
Tunisia to India; its legacy influenced politics and society
for
years to come. From the founding of the city of Baghdad in A.D.
762
to the end of the ninth century, the rule of the Abbasid
dynasty was
the zenith of Islamic conquest and influence. The caliphs of
Baghdad
formed the model for succeeding Muslim regimes, from military
conquests to court-sponsored poetry and literature, from
building
palaces to establishing court bureaucracies. Yet the true story
of
this fascinating empire has rarely been told outside the
academic
world. |

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America
No preaching.
No
pontificating. Just some uncommon sense about the things that
have
made this country great -- and the culprits who are screwing it
up.
Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers
(the
cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at "ordinary"
Americans) ... the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy
celebrities
who think they're smart just because they're famous) ... the TV
Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared
to a
churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat) ... the
Intellectual
Thugs (bigwigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run
the
gamut from left wing to far left wing) ... and many
more. |

| Blood
and
Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum
|
| by: Michael T.
Klare |
From the author of Resource Wars, a landmark assessment
of
the critical role of petroleum in America's actions
abroad.
In
his pathbreaking Resource Wars, world security expert Michael
T.
Klare alerted us to the role of resources in conflicts in the
post-Cold War world. Now, in Blood and Oil, he concentrates on
a
single precious commodity, petroleum, while issuing a warning
to the
United States-its most powerful, and most dependent, global
consumer. Since September 11th and the commencement of the "war
on
terror," the world's attention has been focused on the
relationship
between U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and the oceans
of
crude oil that lie beneath the region's soil. Klare traces
oil's
impact on international affairs since World War II, revealing
its
influence on the Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Carter
doctrines. He
shows how America's own wells are drying up as our demand
increases;
by 2010, the United States will need to import 60 percent of
its
oil. And since most of this supply will have to come from
chronically unstable, often violently anti-American zones-the
Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea, Latin America, and Africa-our
dependency is bound to lead to recurrent military involvement.

Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel opens in a jail
cell
in Mumbai, India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after
correctly answering all twelve questions on India's biggest
quiz
show, Who Will Win a Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor
orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could
win
such a contest. But through a series of exhilarating tales Ram
explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the
answer
to each question.
Ram takes us on an amazing review of his
own
history -- from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes
donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded
Bollywood star to his adventure with a security-crazed
Australian
army colonel to his career as an overly creative tour guide at
the
Taj Mahal.
Swarup's Q & A is a beguiling blend of high
comedy, drama, and romance that reveals how we know what we
know --
not just about trivia, but about life itself. Cutting across
humanity in all its squalor and glory, Vikas Swarup presents a
kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle between good and evil --
and
what happens when one boy has no other choice in life but to
survive. |

| Interrupted
Journeys:
Young Refugees from Hitler's Reich
|
| by: Alan Gill |
As the dark storm clouds of World War II gathered over
Europe, some 10,000 young German, Austrian and Czech Jews fled
Nazi
oppression in their homeland to seek refuge in Britain, America
and
Australia. Leaving behind their parents, families and
everything
familiar, they fled to an unknown country and future in their
fight
for survival.
INTERRUPTED JOURNEYS tells the wartime
stories of
the Kinder transports and other child and teen refugees. It
reveals
the trials and eventual triumphs of young people who survived
the
Nazi camps, or spent the war in hiding, and who migrated to the
same
destinations, sponsored by private and government agencies, in
the
post-war era. These immigrants have added richly to the life of
their host countries and Alan Gill has drawn on several years
of
research and hours of personal interviews to bring their
stories to
a new generation. |

| 1453:
The
Holy War for
Constantinople and the
Clash of Islam
and the West
|
| by: Roger Crowley |
A complete and compelling account of the fall of
Constantinople, the siege that gave rise to today's jihad.
When
Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, a remarkable
era
in world history ended. Constantinople, the "city of the
world's
desire," was a wealthy, imperial, intimidating, and Christian
city,
influencing world opinion for a thousand years. The fall of
Constantinople marked the end of the Byzantium Empire and the
end of
the medieval era. Thereafter, two worlds would rise -- that of
the
West and that of the Middle East.

In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote
twelve
short romance novels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and
every one
of them. Nine of these stories were originally published by the
Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All immediately
went
out of print and could be found only at used bookstores and
yard
sales.
I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are
now
being re-released by HarperCollins. Back to the Bedroom is
presented
here in almost original form. I've done only minor editing to
correct some embarrassing bloopers missed the first time
around.

| Nick Stone's future has never looked as bleak. The only
person he's ever loved is dead. The only people who might give
him a
reason not to join her have turned their backs. Until a chance
encounter with a man he saved ten years ago appears to throw
him a
lifeline...But on the bullet- and bomb-scarred streets of
Baghdad,
second chances are in short supply. A simple quest becomes a
journey
to the heart of a chilling conspiracy; too late, he realizes
that he
is being used as bait - to lure into the open a man he believes
can
offer some salvation, but whom the darker forces of the West
will
stop at nothing to destroy...From its violent and shocking
opening
in the Muslim enclaves of Bosnia, through vivid,
lightning-paced
action in war-torn Iraq, this unforgettable story proves Andy
McNab
yet again to be the master of the modern thriller, a writer at
the
very top of his game. |

| In 1812, Sir John Malcolm published the groundbreaking
Sketch
of the Sikhs. Contrary to popular belief, Malcolm was not the
first
European to write about the Sikhs. In the previous two
centuries,
soldiers, travelers, administrators, scholars, missionaries and
empire-builders had witnessed the development of the Sikhs. The
letters, diaries, newspaper accounts and memoirs of these men
and
women have been painstakingly researched and compiled to shed
light
on a little-understood period of Sikh history. For the first
time,
the evolution of a major world religion can be made available
based
on authentic eyewitness accounts. Each account is introduced
with a
biographical commentary, and detailed footnotes are designed to
give
the reader essential information for a greater clarity of
understanding. |

| No book has captured the trials and traumas of the
transition
from star performer to competent manager better than Linda
Hill's
classic Becoming a Manager. In tracing and analyzing the
experiences
of nineteen new managers, Hill reveals the profound complexity
and
difficulty of the process of developing into a manager. In
their own
distinct voices, these managers describe how they reframed
their
understanding of their roles and responsibilities and how they
coped
with the stresses and emotions of the transformation-in
essence, how
they were able to take on new identities. Now, in a
substantially
expanded second edition, the author offers concrete advice on
the
crucial issues of dealing effectively with organizational
politics
and developing and leading diverse teams in times of change, as
well
as on how managers can prepare themselves to lead over the
course of
their careers. In a new epilogue, she explores what
organizations
can do to help managers in their journey to lead and learn.
