Haideh Moghissi, "Muslim Diaspora: Gender, Culture and Identity"
English | 2006 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 0415770815 | PDF | 1,3 mb
Muslim Diaspora identifies those aspects of migratory experience that shatter or reinforce a group's attachment to its homeland and affect its readiness to adapt to a new country.

The contributors to this collection examine many dimensions of life in the Diaspora and demonstrate that identity is always constructed in relation to others. They show how religious identity in diaspora is mediated by many other factors such as:
- Gender
- Class
- Ethnic origin
- National status
A central aim is to understand Diaspora as an agent of social and cultural change, particularly in its transformative impact on women. Throughout, the book advances a more nuanced understanding of the notions of ethnicity, difference and rights. It makes an important contribution to understanding the complex processes of formation and adoption of transnational identities and the challenging contradictions of a world that is being rapidly globalized in economic and political terms, and yet is increasingly localized and differentiated, ethically and culturally.
Muslim Diaspora includes contributions from outstanding scholars and is an invaluable text for students in sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural studies, Islamic studies, women's studies as well as the general reader.

My Journey Out of Narcissism From Chaos to Clarity : Living Beyond Narcissism - The Steps I Took to Rewire My Mind and Rebuild My Heart (Narcissist's Journey ... to Overcome Narcissistic Patterns) by Katashi Yoshimura
English | September 28, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DHVTSYTN | 115 pages | EPUB | 0.99 Mb
What if you could completely rewrite the story of your life? What if, instead of living in the shadows of shame, guilt, and the emotional wreckage left by narcissism, you could step into the light, heal your deepest wounds, and finally build the kind of authentic, loving relationships you've always longed for?

For years, I was trapped in a vicious cycle-inflicting pain, manipulating those I cared about, and always convincing myself that I was the victim. My world was defined by control, deceit, and fear. But underneath it all, I was terrified. Terrified of being vulnerable. Terrified of facing my own flaws. Terrified of admitting that I was the one causing the destruction in my life.
It was only when I took a hard look in the mirror that everything began to change. I began to unravel the web of lies I had built around myself, and for the first time, I committed to truly understanding who I was and how I could transform. Through intense self-reflection, therapy, and an unwavering determination to heal, I slowly began to unearth something I thought I'd never find-empathy. Real, heart-wrenching empathy that allowed me to finally feel the pain I had caused others and to let go of the toxic armor I had worn for so long.
This journey was far from easy, but I stand before you now as living proof that change is not only possible- it's within your reach. You can free yourself from the grip of narcissism, heal from the emotional pain it leaves behind, and forge genuine, meaningful connections. It's not too late. It's never too late.
In this deeply transformative book, you'll uncover:
✔ My raw and personal story of redemption, showing you step by step that no matter how entrenched you are in destructive patterns, healing is possible. I share my darkest moments, the hard truths I faced, and the powerful breakthroughs that led to my transformation.
✔ How to recognize the toxic patterns of narcissism - whether in yourself or someone else-and, more importantly, how to break free from their suffocating hold. I'll guide you through the telltale signs and arm you with tools to dismantle the destructive behaviors that once seemed unshakable.
✔ Proven techniques for self-reflection and emotional growth that will empower you to confront your past and rebuild yourself from the inside out. You'll learn how to peel back the layers of self-deception and step into a space of true self-awareness.
✔ Practical, real-world advice on developing empathy, authenticity, and emotional intelligence-skills that are essential for creating healthy, lasting relationships. These aren't just abstract concepts; they're actionable steps you can take today to start connecting with others in a deeper, more genuine way.
✔ Mindfulness tools and daily practices designed to sustain your growth and help you navigate life's challenges without falling back into old habits. Healing is not a one-time event; it's a lifelong journey, and I'll show you how to maintain your progress even in the face of adversity.
Imagine being able to look at yourself in the mirror and feel proud of the person staring back at you. Imagine waking up each day with a sense of peace, knowing that you are no longer defined by your past mistakes. Imagine the joy of building relationships based on trust, honesty, and mutual respect-not manipulation or fear.
Whether you're struggling with narcissistic tendencies yourself or you've been hurt by someone who is, this book offers the insights, guidance, and support you need to break free and reclaim your life.
You deserve happiness. You deserve peace. You deserve to be free.

México misterioso : Una historia de Fantasmas, leyendas y lugares desconcertantes de los estados mexicanos (Spanish Edition) by Charles River Editors
Spanish | February 27, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DYWWQ5YL | 88 pages | EPUB | 12 Mb
En una época de la Antigüedad en la que la mayor parte de Europa estaba cubierta de bosques y tribus errantes, México ya había desarrollado civilizaciones complejas, empezando por los olmecas y siguiendo por los mayas, una civilización con avanzados conocimientos de medicina, ingeniería y astronomía. Los mayas calculaban la precesión de los equinoccios y los ciclos de las Pléyades, en los que basaban su año, ya que creían proceder de esa constelación. La última gran civilización, y quizá la más famosa, antes de la llegada de los europeos fue la azteca.

Con tantos pueblos antiguos cuya influencia, creencias y modificaciones del paisaje se extienden hasta nuestros días, México es tierra fértil para leyendas, fantasmas, lugares sorprendentes y misterios. La creencia en la comunión con las cosas del más allá (estrellas, constelaciones y vida después de la muerte), el misticismo y las apariciones están íntimamente entretejidos en el colorido tejido de la nación mexicana, hasta el punto de que un acontecimiento metafísico (la aparición de la Virgen de Guadalupe) es considerado por muchos como uno de los elementos fundacionales de la nación. Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe tiene una contrapartida espeluznante, otra mujer que apareció por la misma época: La Llorona. Si el contenido de la primera visión es amoroso y conciliador, el de la segunda está lleno de pesar y agonía.
La Llorona es sólo la primera de una larga procesión de fantasmas aún menos benignos. Durante muchos años, en la actual Ciudad de México se cometieron sacrificios humanos y un sinfín de crueldades. La gente de todo el país cree que una legión de voces fantasmales -si es que se cree en los fantasmas como subproducto de la repetición, el recuerdo y la reexperiencia de memorias trágicas- aún pueden oírse en las ciudades y valles de México. Después de todo, los arqueólogos han encontrado pruebas de escalofriantes sacrificios humanos en la capital mexicana, pruebas de que los antiguos habitantes honraban a sus dioses decapitando los cuerpos de sus prisioneros y colocando sus cabezas sangrantes en un palo. Se han encontrado varios yacimientos, y el más grande se desenterró en la antigua Tenochtitlan (actual Ciudad de México), que puede contener hasta 60.000 cráneos humanos.
El territorio mexicano era relativamente desconocido hasta principios del siglo XX, incluso para sus propios habitantes, ya que muchas de sus ruinas y maravillas naturales estaban fuera de su alcance o sepultadas bajo espesas selvas. No fue hasta el desarrollo del ferrocarril a principios del siglo XX cuando este vasto país (el 14º más grande del mundo) empezó a revelar sus secretos. Una vez pacificado México, el interés por las ruinas mayas y aztecas y las extrañas historias que circulaban por los pueblos atrajo a decenas de arqueólogos, antropólogos, fotógrafos e historiadores de todo el mundo.
A partir de ese momento, la nación pudo mostrar sus encantos y misterios a propios y extraños. El sur guardaba recuerdos de una raza que hablaba con las estrellas, el centro poseía fantasmas llenos de pesar y resentimiento, y el norte rebosaba de lugares que sólo un escritor de ciencia ficción podría imaginar. El resultado es una recopilación de los aspectos más sorprendentes, misteriosos y terroríficos de México, que incluye lugares mágicos, enigmas de la historia y extraños seres y apariciones. México es un país místico donde la gente corriente ha aprendido a convivir con sus fantasmas, viejos y nuevos. Como dijo una vez Octavio Paz, Premio Nobel de Literatura: "Uno de los rasgos más notables del carácter mexicano es su disposición a contemplar el horror: el mexicano es incluso familiar y complaciente en su trato con él."

English | 2007 | pages: 94 | ISBN: 0497112604 | PDF | 1,1 mb
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency is indexed in search engines, such aswww.google.comor others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

Paul O'Brien, Harold Craighead, Harry Kroto, "Nano-Society: Pushing the Boundaries of Technology"
English | 2009 | pages: 332 | ISBN: 1847558836 | PDF | 18,2 mb
Major technology shifts do not happen overnight and rarely are they the result of a single breakthrough discovery. Nowhere is this more true than for the broad set of enabling technologies that we have come to simply call "nanotechnology". Rather than standing on the shoulders of a few intellectual giants, nanotechnologies are created by tens of thousands of researchers and scientists working on minute and sometimes arcane aspects of their fields of expertise in areas as diverse as medicine, telecommunications, solar cells, filtration, coatings, or ever smaller transistors for electronic devices. They come from different sciences, live in different parts of the world and work for different organizations (government laboratories, industry laboratories, universities, private research facilities) and follow their own set of rules - get papers reviewed and published; achieve scientific recognition from their peers; struggle to get funding for new ideas; look to make that breakthrough discovery that leads to the ultimate resumÚ item - a nobel prize; get pushed by their funders to secure patent rights and commercialize new discoveries. This book puts a spotlight on some of the scientists who are pushing the boundaries of technology and it gives examples of their work and how they are advancing knowledge one little step at a time. The book shatters the monolithic term "nanotechnology" into the myriad of facets that it really is. It is a journey through the world of nanotechnology research and development, taking a personal look at how nanotechnologies get created today and by whom. The book covers 122 specific research projects that are happening in laboratories around the world and provides commentaries from the scientists in their own words. However, the collection of stories in this book barely scratches the surface of the vast and growing body of research that leads us into the nanotechnology age. The selection presented in the book is not meant to rank some laboratories and scientists higher than others, nor to imply that the work introduced in the book is more important or valuable than all the work that is not covered. The intention is to give the interested reader an idea of the incredibly diverse aspects that make up nanotechnology research and development - the results of which will bring about a new era of industrial and medical technologies. Nanoscience and nanotechnology research is a truly multidisciplinary and international effort. Each of the chapters is based on a particular scientific paper that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and, while each story revolves around one or two scientists who were interviewed for this book, many, if not most, of the scientific accomplishments covered in the book are the result of collaborative efforts by several scientists and research groups, often from different organizations and from different countries. The book is different to other books in this field because it provides a novel human touch to nanotechnology research by not only covering a wide range of research topics but also the (often nameless) scientists behind this research. The book is a collection of Spotlight articles from the popular Nanowerk website and each article has been crafted with the author(s) of a scientific paper and signed off by them prior to being posted on Nanowerk. The book is intended for two broad groups of audiences - scientists and nanoscience students who want a bite-size, quick read to get a good first impression of what nanotechnologies are about and how they affect not only their own field but also neighbouring fields and other scientific disciplines further away. And a non-scientific readership that needs to (because it affects their organization and they have to acquaint themselves with nanotechnology) or wants to get a 'non-threatening' (i.e. no formulas, complex diagrams, or unexplained scientific terms) introduction, written by a non-scientist for non-scientists.

George W. White, "Nationalism and Territory"
English | 2000 | pages: 162 | ISBN: 0847698084 | PDF | 18,9 mb
Why do nations come into conflict? What factors lead to the horrors of ethnic cleansing? This timely book offers clear-eyed answers to these questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place, focusing especially on Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. Moving beyond studies of nationalism that consider only the economic and geostrategic value of territory, George White shows that the very core of national identity is intimately bound to specific places. Indeed, nations define themselves in terms of spaces that have historical, linguistic, and religious meaning, as Serbs have clearly demonstrated in Kosovo. These territories are concrete expressions of a nationOs identity, both past and present. With his detailed analysis of the places that define national identity in Southeastern Europe, White convincingly shows why territorial disputes so often escalate into war.

Bruce E. Johansen, "Native Americans Today: A Biographical Dictionary"
English | 2010 | pages: 340 | ISBN: 0313355541 | PDF | 2,6 mb
This engaging collection of Native American profiles examines these individuals' unique life experiences within the larger context of U.S. history.

Native Americans Today: A Biographical Dictionary focuses on the lives of contemporary Native Americans. Such treatments are rare, as most Native American biographies are historical (pre-1900) and cover familiar figures. Profiles collected here are written to be enjoyable as well as instructive, presented as examples of personal storytelling that should be savored not only for their factual content, but also for the humanity they evoke.
The book spotlights Native American lives in the United States and Canada, mainly after 1900, though a few older figures are included because their lives evoke strikingly modern themes. The author, an expert on all things Native American, knows (or knew) several of the people in the entries, adding a special vibrancy to the writing. Among those profiled are former U.S. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, activist Eloise Cobell, and controversial political prisoner Leonard Peltier, as well as writers, artists, and musicians. The compilation also includes non-Native Americans whose lives and careers impacted Indian life.
