DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection of short stories is an attempt at painting the closest possible picture of the daily lives of people from the author's part of the world. Various social topics and stigmas have been portrayed here through the emotions and stories of the characters in this short stories collection. The objective of this presentation does not lie towards influence but rather on the direction of acquaintance. A few of the stories are inspired from true events whereas others are pure work of fiction derived from everyday information. However, the issues addressed are as real as the day is true. The author only hopes to make sure that whichever the story may be, the readers are touched by them and relate somehow with their own lives.`In addition, the translator has been careful of keeping the real flavor of the stories intact while trying to successfully tell these tales in a foreign language. Her only hope is for the forgiving heart of the readers should they run into any transliteration mistakes.

Erman's time, and thanks to an extremely detailed discussion of all possible relevant data even on the less known Afro-Asiatic cognates to the Egyptian roots.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the various schools of Qur'anic exegesis, from the earliest periods through to the present day. Employing a comparative-contrastive methodology, the author examines traditional and rational schools of thought - such as the Mu'tazili, Shi'i, Ibadi, Sufi, metaphysical, modern, and scientific approaches to the interpretation of the Qur'an - to give a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences in their theological views. The study spans a broad period, covering exegetical techniques adopted in Qur'anic exegesis from its infancy during the 1st/7th century up to the beginning of the 15th/21st century. Furnished with copious micro- and macro-level examples which explicate the Qur'anic notions and the points of view relevant to each school and exegetical approach, the book provides a rounded empirical study of Islamic thought. This thorough and holistic historical investigation is an important contribution to the study of Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic theology, and as such will be of enormous interest to scholars of religion, philosophy and Islamic studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMcCann explains how wage discrimination battles have raised public legal consciousness and helped reform activists mobilize working women in the pay equity movement over the past two decades. Rights at Work explores the political strategies in more than a dozen pay equity struggles since the late 1970s, including battles of state employees in Washington and Connecticut, as well as city employees in San Jose and Los Angeles. Relying on interviews with over 140 union and feminist activists, McCann shows that, even when the courts failed to correct wage discrimination, litigation and other forms of legal advocacy provided reformers with the legal discourse--the understanding of legal rights and their constraints--for defining and advancing their cause.
