Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2015. Paperback. Good. This bestseller explores how we often misunderstand the causes of our confl icts and shows us the paths to achieving true peace within ourselves and ou r relationships. From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception comes a new edition of an international bestseller that instills hope and inspires reconciliation. W hat if conflicts at home, conflicts at work, and conflicts in the world ste m from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that ca use? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? This book unfolds as a story. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the other's ethnic cousins. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and global conflicts that weigh us down, even when war is upon us., Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2015, 2.5, Used - Good.

A debut novel that tells the story of Rasa, a young gay man coming of age i n the Middle East In excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlig hting. The spine remains undamaged. Set over the course of twenty-four hours, Guapa follows Rasa, a gay man living in an unnamed Arab country, as he tries to carve out a life for himself in the midst of political and social upheaval. Rasa spends his days translating for Western journalists and pining for the nights when he can sneak his lover, Taymour, into his room. One night Rasa's grandmother -- the woman who raised him -- catches them in bed together. The following day Rasa is consumed by the search for his best friend Maj, a fiery activist and drag queen star of the underground bar, Guapa, who has been arrested by the police. Ashamed to go home and face his grandmother, and reeling from the potential loss of the three most important people in his life, Rasa roams the city's slums and prisons, the lavish weddings of the country's elite, and the bars where outcasts and intellectuals drink to a long-lost revolution. Each new encounter leads him closer to confronting his own identity, as he revisits his childhood and probes the secrets that haunt his family. As Rasa confronts the simultaneous collapse of political hope and his closest personal relationships, he is forced to discover the roots of his alienation and try to re-emerge into a society that may never accept him., Other Press, LLC, 2016, 4, London: Guild Publishing Ltd.

A Walk in the Dark Ages takes the reader on a journey across the Europe of thirteen centuries ago, as it might have been taken by an Irish monk travelling to Byzantium. In his narrative Frank Delaney evokes the astonishing European world as it was in the closing years of the seventh century. At that time the so-called Dark Ages stood probably at their darkest. The Roman Empire had been swept away forever by successive waves of barbaric tribes, who had conquered most of western Europe including northern Italy, much of which lay in the hands of the brutal Lombards. Pope Sergius I reigned over Christendom in a crumbling Rome, whose statues had been stolen or decapitated, and whose population had been reduced from over a million to thirty thousand or so. The Arabs marched on, subduing Spain and threatening France. East of the Rhine total savagery prevailed. Yet the darkness lightened, although spasmodically. In Ireland the old Celtic Christianity had survived and produced a flowering of artistic, intellectual and missionary endeavour that would become recognized all over Europe. In the east, the Roman emperor at Constantinople ruled over the complex Byzantine civilization that still confidently regarded itself as the centre of the world. A Walk in the Dark Ages journeys through time and the imagination, popularly intended but with roots in scholarship - historical, archaeological and artistic. Frank Delaney has travelled the entire journey, from the rocks of Skellig Michael to the domes of Istanbul. His text is richly illustrated with photographs of the most beautiful and evocative treasures which survive from the period, as well as illustrations of the landscapes and buildings which remain closest and most relevant to what a seventh-century traveller might actually have seen. ., Guild Publishing Ltd, 1988, 3, Free Press.

Examines the network's religious roots, its widespread organizational reach (including the U.S.), its complex political and religious agenda, and its terrifying tactics. Covers not only the social, political, and economic factors that have led to the creation of this elusive terrorist network. Al-Qaeda: Anatomy of Terror examines the network's religious roots, its widespread organizational reach (including the U.S.), its complex political and religious agenda, and its terrifying tactics. The book includes a chilling account of life within al-Qaeda that comes in part from the testimony of members of the Bin Laden group, including Jamal Ahmed al-Fadl, who was arrested for staging the August 1998 suicide bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. It describes al-Qaeda's capabilities of acts of mass destruction, including stockpiles of radiological weapons. It is impossible to understand the present situation without also understanding the often violent history of Islam and its factions. Al-Qaeda: Anatomy of Terror covers not only the social, political, and economic factors that have led to the creation of this elusive terrorist network, but also uncovers its religious roots in fundamentalist interpretations of the Koran and the widespread support for those interpretations among radical Islamic groups worldwide. ., Alpha February 8, 2002, 0, Allen & Unwin, Australia, 2003.

SYNOPSIS: In the post-September 11th political reality, the Bush administration is learning that holding together alliances with the Arab world, support for the "war on terrorism", and regional stability in the Middle East all connect to the Israel-Palestine issue. While US media increasingly report on the escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians, little or no analysis is offered regarding the origins and history of the conflict, so needed to genuinely work toward dialogue and solutions. In this book, Israeli journalist Tanya Reinhart provides a primer on the crisis. She closely examines the roots of the conflict, and offers an analysis of all sides of the issue, concluding with a proposal for moving beyond the violence to real solutions. Drawing from maps and declassified Israeli sources, Reinhart studies the details of past negotiations, expectations, shortcomings, misinterpretations and deceptions. Among Reinhart's areas of focus are the Oslo meetings; myths and facts about what happened at Camp David; and the politics of Barak and Sharon in relation to Arafat, the recent Taba negotiations, and prospects for genuine solutions. The book is a guide to understanding the Middle East and US involvement in the crisis. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Military & Warfare; ISBN: 1741140854. ISBN/EAN: 9781741140859.
