Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world pray, fast, and pay special attention to doing good deeds. Shirin is nine and thinks she should be able to fast like her older brother Ali, but her parents feel she is still too young to go without food and water all day. When Shirin catches Ali sneaking food after school, she wonders: Should she tattle or is this an opportunity for a good deed? Shirin feels left out when the others break their fasts to have their own meals after dark and in the early morning, before it is light again. But then her grandmother tells a story that shows her a way she can feel more a part of Ramadan and the traditions and closeness her family enjoys during this special month of the year. Her good deeds result in a surprise for everyone!

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), a major figure in the German Romantic movement, painted sublime works representing nature at its most melancholic and desolate. One of his most famous motifs was that of two intimate figures, seen from behind, gazing at the moon. Friedrich painted three versions of this theme, one of which -- Two Men Contemplating the Moon -- has recently been acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The book discusses the Metropolitan's painting in conjunction with the other two versions and a number of related paintings and drawings by Friedrich and his Dresden friends. It also presents fascinating details about the moon itself -- including what was known about it in Friedrich's lifetime and its presence and symbolism in contemporary Romantic poetry.

This book reveals the true story of what was unfolding in the Middle East in the centuries leading up to the emergence of Christianity as accurately as possible. It will upset some, but that is not my goal. The true history of events is always suppressed and this is an attempt to revive the actual story as it occurred, as faithfully as possible. A long-lost prophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls reveals that Judas Maccabeus was the original Messiah, and he did do amazing things, including liberating Israel from the oppressive Greeks. He gave Israel independence for the first time in 400 years and began a golden period. However, in the centuries to come, the spectre of the Roman army began to manifest. The Jews needed hope and so the prophecy was revamped and extended. This resulted in a whole swathe of messianic contenders and in the 70's AD, after Rome defeated the Jews in a bloody war, a relatively unknown man was extolled as the Messiah. The reason why Jesus was chosen? He was the most Western of all the contenders; he preached tolerance at a time when few Jews would. This suited Rome, and so in Rome, in a foreign tongue, his story was written. A lot of it was made up (I don't say these words lightly, I will prove this). This book answers many more questions too, questions that have vexed us for millennia such as: 'Where is the Garden of Eden?' 'What happened to Noah’s Ark?' 'Who was the first man?' 'Who was the Devil?' The answers will surprise you and they’ll challenge everything that you think you know. We live in dangerous times, when fact is hard to discern from fiction. This book offers a glimmer of truth at a time when this is the rarest of commodities.
