DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Rahman Khan cannot leave the police. At least not yet. He has a new team, a new supervising officer and an old obsession - to finish what he had hoped would be his one last case - if it will let him. Driven to find a virtual foe known only as the Stoatmaster - behind the procurement of children for wealthy and powerful paedophiles, he must first solve the riddle of the Purples. The abyss of the dark web looms and hypnotically beckons. Another fugitive they cannot find - this time of flesh and bones - the killer of a colleague, the sadistic terrorizer of children - an enemy who is to them incarnate evil, indivisible, inescapable, evil - and seemingly as elusive as the Stoatmaster. They cannot find this creature - but it can find them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Women in Dialogue: (M)Uses of Culture results from an international symposium held at Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, in 2006, which brought together scholars from over ten countries, and from multiple academic backgrounds, who share professional interest in women’s studies, and, to no less degree, in current women’s realities. The book presents a collection of essays united by a common focus on the position of women as objects of cultural production in different geographic, national, and political contexts, as well as the character and typology of women’s contribution to cultural activity across the ethnic or religious divide marking the face of contemporary world. The volume comprises two sections: the first, titled “Women in Dialogue,” contains contributions which analyze literary representations of women from a variety of perspectives, and from diverse spatial and temporal locations. The second part, titled “(M)Uses of Culture,” includes personalized observations by several women writers, of both poetry and fiction, their commentaries on their own work as artists, and their deeply experienced “musings” on the position of women as artists in the world of today. The essays that this volume brings together are varied in subject matter; yet they are connected by the common theme, epitomized in the metaphor of dialogue, as a platform for active, productive communication, leading – on the pages of the book, if not elsewhere – to learning, and mutual understanding.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Iran and the Muslim countries where the irrational burqa is more popular today than one or two generations ago count more politically and economically than few years ago. The countries where the miniskirt and more relaxed moral attitudes have been more popular count always less in the world scene. Third world countries with high birth rates have progressed relatively more than Western countries with lower birthrates. When there was the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century with great progress and Britain started to dominate the seas, the birth rates were very high. Since independence in 1947, the population of India has increased fourfold and progressed a lot. Could you imagine Britain or any other European country starting to conquer the world again? The other way out seems more probable. With young people from developing countries that dare attack America and the Western countries in their own territories.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Advance Praise for Behind the Burqa "Whenever and wherever adults make war, children die and women are subjected to fear and humiliation. This is true of Afghanistan too. Read this harrowing book. The tragic yet heroic tale of two women is told with great simplicity. They will haunt you." -Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "The stories of Sulima and Hala achingly articulate the twin and enduring legacies of misogyny and violence. A critical historical document, Behind the Burqa ultimately reveals the unbreakable strength of Afghan women." -Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues Founder and Artistic Director, V-Day "Behind the Burqa provides important information about conditions in Afghanistan, as well as the plight of asylum-seekers in the United States. I highly recommend this book to all people who are concerned about human rights, both at home and abroad." -Senator Sam Brownback, (R. Kansas) ranking member, Immigration Subcommittee, Committee on the Judiciary "This book is a gripping reading experience, and it also offers important suggestions for those who would like to participate in making our asylum politics more humane." -Eleanor Acer, Director, Asylum Program, Lawyers Committee for Human Rights "This book shows the injustices suffered by innocent women seeking asylum in the U. S. and the power of religious faith to provide hope and courage even in prison." -Fauziya Kassindja, author of Do They Hear You When You Cry "Sulima and Hala epitomize the worldwide struggle of women for equality and justice. Their story is gripping and illuminating." -Jessica Neuwirth, President of Equality Now
