978-1621576808, No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You, Raheem Kassam (Author), Nigel Farage (Foreword), Regnery, Hardcover, English, Worldwide

$35.90

No Go Zones. That's what they're called. And while the politically correct try to deny their existence, the shocking reality of these "No Go Zones"—where Sharia law can prevail and local police stay away—can be attested to by its many victims. Now Raheem Kassam, a courageous reporter and editor at Breitbart, takes us where few journalists have dared to tread—inside the No Go Zones, revealing areas that Western governments, including the United States, don't want to admit exist within their own borders. With compelling reporting, Kassam takes you into Islamic areas you might not even know existed—communities, neighborhoods, and whole city districts from San Bernardino, California, (a No Go Zone of the mind) to Hamtramck, Michigan (essentially an Islamic colony in the Midwest); from Malmö, Sweden, to the heart of London, England—where infidels are unwelcome, Islamic law is king, and extremism grows. In No Go Zones, Kassam reveals:

How in No Go Zones a blind eye is being turned to polygamy, female genital mutilation, sexual assault, segregation, and even honor killings
Why Muslim ghettos in the West aren't the equivalent of Little Italy or Chinatown, but a serious cultural and political threat
How the welfare state actually funds and supports a Muslim subculture of resentment
How to identify extremist mosques
A matter of numbers: how mass migration could transform Europe into a Muslim-dominated continent within our own lifetimes
The alarming speed at which No Go Zones are coming to America

Compelling in its reporting, shocking in its detail, Raheem Kassam's No Go Zones is one of the most frightening true stories you will read this year.

9780252036873, Last Works, Moses Mendelssohn (Author), Bruce Rosenstock (Translator), University of Illinois Press, Hardcover, English, Worldwide

$108.44

Moses Mendelssohn (1729–1786) was the central figure in the emancipation of European Jewry. His intellect, judgment, and tact won the admiration and friendship of contemporaries as illustrious as Johann Gottfried Herder, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and Immanuel Kant. His enormously influential Jerusalem (1783) made the case for religious tolerance, a cause he worked for all his life. Last Works includes, for the first time complete and in a single volume, the English translation of Morning Hours: Lectures on the Existence of God (1785) and To the Friends of Lessing (1786). Bruce Rosenstock has also provided an historical introduction and an extensive philosophical commentary to both texts. At the center of Mendelssohn's last works is his friendship with Lessing. Mendelssohn hoped to show that he, a Torah-observant Jew, and Lessing, Germany's leading dramatist, had forged a life-long friendship that held out the promise of a tolerant and enlightened culture in which religious strife would be a thing of the past. Lessing's death in 1781 was a severe blow to Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn wrote his last two works to commemorate Lessing and to carry on the work to which they had dedicated much of their lives. Morning Hours treats a range of major philosophical topics: the nature of truth, the foundations of human knowledge, the basis of our moral and aesthetic powers of judgment, the reality of the external world, and the grounds for a rational faith in a providential deity. It is also a key text for Mendelssohn's readings of Spinoza. In To the Friends of Lessing, Mendelssohn attempts to unmask the individual whom he believes to be the real enemy of the enlightened state: the Schwärmer, the religious fanatic who rejects reason in favor of belief in suprarational revelation.

9780367488628, After Method: Mess in Social Science Research, John Law (Author), Routledge (Manohar), Paperback, English, Worldwide

$9.00

"After Method: Mess in Social Science Research" by John Law challenges traditional research methodologies that prioritize clarity and precision. Law argues that methods not only describe social realities but also play a role in creating them, making them inherently political. He contends that many social phenomena are fluid, elusive, and multiple, suggesting that current methods are inadequate for capturing this complexity. Law advocates for embracing the 'mess' in social science research, proposing a shift towards methodologies that accommodate vagueness and disorder. This approach encourages researchers to reconsider their methods to better reflect the multifaceted nature of social realities. The book is a call to rethink how social science research is conducted, emphasizing the need for methods that are flexible and responsive to the complexities of the social world. By challenging conventional approaches, Law opens up new possibilities for understanding and studying social phenomena. "After Method" is a significant contribution to the field, offering a fresh perspective on research practices.

Aggarwal critically examines the decisions and actions of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India.
