Terrorist, Ölscheich, voll verschleierte Frau - Stereotype über Araber sind seit dem 11. September in den US-Medien und der Populärkultur omnipräsent. Selten kommt die arabische Minderheit in den USA selbst zu Wort. Dieses Buch untersucht deshalb den literarischen Selbstausdruck arabisch-amerikanischer Autorinnen und Autoren. So wird sichtbar, was es bedeutet, im eigenen Land zum Feind geworden zu sein. Dabei wird auch die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit patriarchalen Strukturen und religiösem Eifer in der arabisch-amerikanischen Community und der arabischen Welt einbezogen.

Who could tell, in the first decade of the twentieth century, what strange adventures might befall those who ventured to travel by the new-fangled aeroplane? A forced landing, perhaps, in some long-forgotten land where time has stood mercifully still. James Smith, of the well-known London catering concern, drops in on Arcadia, where no-one tells lies, or grows older, where money is unheard of and unemployment a permanent attraction. Far from impressed by what Smith tells them of the joys of life in London his hosts despatch him, with missionary zeal-and two agelessly beautiful Arcadian nymphs-to convert the wretched metropolis. Things do not always go as planned.11 women, 13 men

One scientist''s account of the poltergeist case that made headlines across the country -- and the riveting examination of a child''s mysterious murder. When she was just fourteen years old, Tina Resch became the center of the best-documented case of poltergeist activity of the twentieth century. During the spring of 1984, Tina''s home in Ohio was thrown into chaos: appliances turned themselves on without electric current, objects flew through the air, furniture scooted across the floor. Censured endlessly by her adoptive family and thrust into the eye of a media twister thanks to one reporter''s photographic evidence of a flying phone, Tina was propelled into a downward spiral that led to an abusive marriage, a divorce, and the birth of a child -- all before her twentieth birthday. Three years later she was charged with that child''s murder, and she is currently serving a life sentence for a crime as controversial, mysterious, and complex as the accused herself -- a crime she maintains she did not commit. Unleashed is Tina''s story as told by a parapsychologist who witnessed striking paranormal phenomena in Tina''s presence. Examining the destructive powers of thwarted emotions from a scientific perspective, William Roll sheds remarkable light on the case of Tina Resch -- and boldly confronts our cultural responses to events that cannot be easily explained.

Poetry. Winner of the Dorset Prize, selected by Ilya Kaminsky. In his third full-length book of poems, Joshua Corey puts the sonnet to the test with this sequence of fractured, ventilated, and unrhymed poems written in the aftermath of 9/11 while Corey was living at a pastoral remove from war and terror in upstate New York. The tension between idyllic personal circumstances and horrific world-historical events led Corey to produce this series of layered poems, variously sardonic and sincere in tone. "These songs shuttle between a past and a future, cast adrift or severed from a violent, ashen present into a necessary untimeliness.... What then of the sonnet, repository of desire and enemy of time? It is, as ever, that form by which we re-imagine subjectivity to confront altered circumstances, and to assess 'the shipwreck of the singular' in the maelstrom of the many..."--Michael Palmer.

In this classic treatise, first published in 1925, J. Gresham Machen explores biblical answers to this pivotal question.Lamenting the "false and disastrous opposition which has been set up between knowledge and faith" and continuing what was his longrunning polemic against liberalism, Machen speaks out against halfhearted, watered-down attempts at faith that seek to engage the heart and the soul yet disregard the mind. He illuminates the Bible's teaching on the foundational tenets of Christian faith, clearly demonstrating that it is knowledge - the intellectual pursuit and embrace of God the Father and Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture - that forms the foundation of all true belief.

After three- quarters of a century, Dr. Abraham Kuyper's exhaustive study of the work of the Holy Spirit -- how available for the first time in a paperback edition -- still stands undiminished as a comprehensive Protestant statement about a central but much-misunderstood part of the Christian faith. "I have made an effort," Dr. Kuyper writes in his preface, "to represent the work of the Holy Spirit in its organic relations, so that the reader may survey the entire domain. And in surveying, who is not surprised at the ever-widening dimensions of the work of the Holy Spirit in all the things that pertain to God and man?" The 123 brief sections that make up this work first appeared in the Heraut, a Dutch religious weekly of which Dr. Kuyper served as editor. So it is that this profound exposition is lucidly written in the language of the ordinary people for whose spiritual growth he was deeply concerned.

One writer, Mary Shelley, inaugurated two of the three paradigms through which human beings imagine, with panic or pleasure, the end of their species. This book deals with her work.

Höhere Analysis klingt zunächst einmal sehr schwierig, und je weiter man in seinem Mathematikstudium fortschreitet, desto anspruchsvoller werden die Themen natürlich. Um die Studierenden beim Verständnis für diesen Stoff zu unterstützen, erscheint nun ein weiterer Band der Tutoriums-Reihe der Autoren Kreh, Goertz und Modler.In dem Buch erläutern die drei Autoren den Stoff der Vorlesungen Analysis 3, Vektoranalysis, Mannigfaltigkeiten und verwandter Vorlesungen. Die Inhalte werden an verständlichen und ausführlichen vorgerechneten Beispielen erklärt. Das Konzept bleibt wieder das bewährte: Jedes Kapitel ist zweigeteilt in einen mathematischen Teil, in dem die Definitionen, Sätze und Beweise stehen, und einen erklärenden Teil, in dem die schwierigen Definitionen und Sätze auf gewohnt lockere und lustige Art und Weise mit mehr als 100 Beispielen und etwa 50 Abbildungen mit Leben gefüllt werden. So erhält der Leser einerseits einen Blick für mathematisch exakteFormulierungen und andererseits Hilfen und Anschauungen, die wichtig sind, um den Stoff zu verstehen.
