The satanic verses cliff notes5/26/2023 The book has been widely praised by many literary critics and has won numerous awards, but it has also been the subject of strong criticism and controversy, with some Islamic scholars arguing that the novel is blasphemous and defamatory. The title of the book refers to a story in which Satan allegedly spoke verses to Muhammad, which were later rejected by the Islamic faith. The novel has been described as a “complex and multi-layered” work and has provoked strong reactions both in the Muslim world and in the West. The novel is based on the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and explores the various aspects of Islam, as well as the tensions between the Islamic faith and other religions and cultures. The Satanic Verses is a controversial novel by British Indian author Salman Rushdie, first published in 1988.

An unquiet mind full text5/26/2023 Most of our images are sourced automatically, so the book cover shown might be different to the edition we have in stock. This is a used book in good condition, meaning that it shows signs of wear but has no major defects. In her autobiography, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Jamison came out as not only an expert on the illness but also someone who has it. An Unquiet Mind is a memoir of enormous candor, vividness, and wisdom-a deeply powerful book that has both transformed and saved lives. Here Jamison examines bipolar illness from the dual perspectives of the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors and the cruel allure that at times prompted her to resist taking medication. For even while she was pursuing her career in academic medicine, Jamison found herself succumbing to the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic depressions that afflicted many of her patients, as her disorder launched her into ruinous spending sprees, episodes of violence, and an attempted suicide. Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic-depressive (bipolar) illness she has also experienced it firsthand. The way the content is organized and presented is seamlessly smooth, innovative, and comprehensive. Everything you need for every book you read. WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR In her bestselling classic, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison changed the way we think about moods and madness. Our Teacher Edition on An Unquiet Mind can help. Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle5/26/2023 The list appeared with Conan Doyle’s explanations: In June of 1927, the Editor (presumably) opened the envelope. I have left my list in a sealed envelope with the Editor of the Strand.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself would select the very best (that is, his own favorite) Holmes stories, and whichever fan guessed the author’s list “most nearly” would win £100 and an autographed copy of Conan Doyle’s Memories and Adventures. “It is as a little test of the opinion of the public that I inaugurate the small competition announced here,” Conan Doyle wrote in the Strand. “I have drawn up a list of the twelve short stories contained in the four published volumes which I consider to be the best, and I should like to know to what extent my choice agrees with that of Strand readers. In March of 1927, just before the final volume of Sherlock Holmes stories, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, was due to be published in book form, the Strand introduced a competition for its readers. ( A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, both novels, had already been printed elsewhere.) Readers loved it, magazine sales soared, and Conan Doyle would go on to publish a total of 4 novels and 56 short stories about Sherlock Homes, with most of the stories published in the Strand between 18. In June of 1891, “A Scandal in Bohemia,” the first short story featuring everyone’s favorite consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, was published in The Strand Magazine. Dust bowl the worst hard time5/26/2023 But the plague was man-made, as Egan shows: the plains weren't suited to farming, and plowing up the grass to plant wheat, along with a confluence of economic disaster-the Depression-and natural disaster-eight years of drought-resulted in an ecological and human catastrophe that Egan details with stunning specificity. Egan tells an extraordinary tale in this visceral account of how America's great, grassy plains turned to dust, and how the ferocious plains winds stirred up an endless series of "black blizzards" that were like a biblical plague: "Dust clouds boiled up, ten thousand feet or more in the sky, and rolled like moving mountains" in what became known as the Dust Bowl. Surrender of a Siren by Tessa Dare5/26/2023 Yet neither could she remain like this, head and neck protruding from a hole in the deck, like some species of seafaring marmot. The thought of returning below held no appeal whatsoever. She inhaled a deep, bracing breath of fresh air. She has a wonderful way with words and imagery. the shipboard ravishing.) And Dare’s writing continues to make me want to use the block quote feature in WordPress. Nothing really happens the way one would expect. Much like with Goddess of the Hunt, Dare takes the plot line of a standard romance -impulsive, virtuous maiden on a ship with a scoundrel - and plays with it. And she gets more than she ever dreamed when she meets “Gray” Grayson and arranges passage aboard his ship, the Aphrodite. Thankfully, picking authors like Dare has proved a good investment! Surrender of a Siren picks up with Goddess of the Hunt‘s Sophia Hathaway determined to get to Tortola to start a new life. In these tough economic times, while I’m shaving a lot of my incidental spending out of my budget, I seem to have added impulse buying books. Surrender of a Siren, by Tessa Dare, hit bookstore shelves yesterday and I hit the bookstore yesterday to buy it.
