Subjects covered include Sufism and Islamic Gnosticism; Muslim revolutionaries and Freemasons; Renй Guйnon, fringe Masonry, Traditionalism, and Islam; the early history of the Shriners; the Ancient Order of Zuzimites; Charles, Prince of Wales and Islamic spirituality; and militant anti-Freemasonry.
Praise for the First Edition:
"...a highly significant work... of extra ordinary importance in this time of cultural and even spiritual conflict." - Robert Black, New Dawn magazine.
"... an excellent reminder of the wisdom that can come studying the intersections of cultures, people, and places." - Aimee E. Newell, The Northern Light.
"Millar's... understanding of his chosen subjects is deep. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly as an example of scholarship and research in the interest of making clearer Freemasonry's tangled relationship with little-understood trends and figures in the modern world." - Jay Kinney, The Plumbline (Scottish Rite Research Society).

The book has been recently resumed and finished, accord ing to the first plan, with as deep a consciousness as ever of its defects of style, but with no essential distrust of its general sentiment. The specula tions upon the purposes of Young America will seem to follow the public cry, but they were in.

Описание: Love. What is love? The only love Kayla knows is family, and even that is rare. Gino is the destroyer of love. William has fallen in love, he loved before, but in the end, he had killed the very ones he claimed to love. Gino had ripped loved ones open and bled them dry and never thought twice about it and never once looked back. Kyle had painted entire cities in blood and, in doing so, had torn families apart and had been hunted for it, yet all have failed. Love is a monster; it makes one weak. Yet they had fallen in love. What kind of men are they? They are not men . . . They are monsters-monsters that all fear. William is a monster who love cannot fix. Kyle is a monster who one has nightmares about. Gino is a monster who make all those creatures that go bump in the night afraid. They are the ones who should be feared.

Описание: "Grieve well and you grow stronger." Anthropologist Rebecca Louise Carter heard this wisdom over and over while living in post-Katrina New Orleans, where everyday violence disproportionately affects Black communities. What does it mean to grieve well? How does mourning strengthen survivors in the face of ongoing threats to Black life? Inspired by ministers and guided by grieving mothers who hold birthday parties for their deceased sons, Prayers for the People traces the emergence of a powerful new African American religious ideal at the intersection of urban life, death, and social and spiritual change. Carter frames this sensitive ethnography within the complex history of structural violence in America--from the legacies of slavery to free but unequal citizenship, from mass incarceration and overpolicing to social abandonment and the unequal distribution of goods and services. And yet Carter offers a vision of restorative kinship by which communities of faith work against the denial of Black personhood as well as the violent severing of social and familial bonds. A timely directive for human relations during a contentious time in America's history, Prayers for the People is also a hopeful vision of what an inclusive, nonviolent, and just urban society could be.

Описание: Centuries of warfare in Europe between the western and eastern worlds It is difficult for many contemporary readers to imagine a time when the European and Christian world was constantly at threat from the huge invading armies of the East and the Islamic world. In 732 AD the Umayyad Moors were defeated in battle between Poitiers and Tours just 12 miles from Paris. However, the principal incursions of the ensuing 800 years came from the Ottoman Turkish empire, which fought to establish its grip on Europe well into the 18th century. For example, Eugene of Savoy, Marlborough's famous military ally, first fought in those wars. This book, taken from Creasy's more expansive work on the history of the Ottoman Empire, concentrates on the period from the first invasions of Europe by the Turks, to the period of imperial stagnation and the slow decline of Ottoman power. Within this pages are accounts of the sieges of Constantinople and the fall of Byzantium, the sieges of Vienna, the fall of Rhodes and the resistance of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto and the many other battles and conflicts fought across eastern Europe by the Austrians, Hungarians, Poles, Serbs and others in order to hold the advancing crescent banner at bay. This is a fascinating account of the collision between the cultures and faiths of east and west that has been all but forgotten by those who were not on its perennial front line.
