Commonly non-Muslims writing on Islam either attack Islam and denigrate its followers, or become apologists over repressive aspects of some Muslim communities. Geraldine Brooks' Nine Parts of Desire, The Hidden World of Islamic Women at times does both of these things. But it is in the book's critical yet respectful look at Islam that the reader finds subjects for serious discussion and a measure of understanding in the depiction of Islam. "It becomes insufficient to look at Islam on paper, or Islam in history, and dwell on the unarguable improvements it brought to women's lives in the seventh century," Brooks writes. "Today, the much more urgent and relevant task is to examine the way the faith has proved such fertile ground for almost every anti-woman custom it encountered in its great march out of Arabia." She maintains that Islam adopted the royal Persian custom of veils, accepted gender mutilation from Egypt, "and when it found societies in which women had never had a voice in public affairs, its own traditions of lively women's participation withered." The book is not overburdened with Western judgements far removed from its subject matter, but is rather an empathetic attempt to understand the culture behind the veils.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. John Hall {Photographs] (illustrator). "When you bring flowers into your home and your life, you surround your family and friends with natural beauty that creates a climate of well-being and continuity." Barbara Milo Ohrbach, author of nine books, including the best-selling The Scented Room, now celebrates the joy of flowers in her gorgeously photographed new book, Simply Flowers. Ms. Ohrbach brings her creative approach and exquisite taste to arranging fresh flowers, providing all the basics you will need to effortlessly decorate and beautify your home with flowers, from simple country baskets spilling with vibrant wild flowers to stylish arrangements of carefully chosen blossoms. Filled with practical advice and innovative ideas, including handy lists of botanicals, Simply Flowers is a very personal and imaginative book that takes the mystery out of flower arranging, making it easy and enjoyable. Ms. Ohrbach offers important tips on selecting and cutting flowers, and how to keep them looking fresh and beautiful for as long as possible; choosing the proper vase to complement your bouquet; finding the perfect place for your flowers; clever ways of mixing fruits and vegetables with botanicals; and simple arrangements that are especially quick to make when you're pressed for time. She discusses forcing bulbs and branches; using silk flowers and house plants; and ways to use ribbons and fabrics that will turn your flowers into charming and welcome gifts. Readers with green thumbs (and even those without) will find helpful suggestions for planning their own cutting gardens or window boxes. And for anyone who likes to entertain, there are easy ideas for inventive table decorations. At the end of her book, Ms. Ohrbach shares the sources she has relied on over the years for cut flowers and arrangements, books on flowers and gardening, and catalogues for bulbs, seeds, plants, and tools and accessories. Whether you're a practiced hand at flower arranging, new to the art, or someone who just has a passion for flower-filled rooms, Simply Flowers will be a perennial inspiration. 134 pages.

Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. In the first days of World War I a German light cruiser detached itself from the East Asiatic Squadron with the mission to raid and harass Allied shipping. The ship, "SMS Emden", not only became world famous in its two months of raiding, during which it sank sixteen ships and captured others, but demonstrated to a cunning enemy the vulnerability of Australian, New Zealand and Empire shipping links. The two dominions were left with little naval protection as Britain gathered its ships to fight the Germans in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Then in 1916, came another raider, the "Wolf", which, undetected and unmolested, laid mines around Australia and New Zealand and preyed upon merchant ships sailing in the Tasman Sea and South Pacific. The following year the Germans made an abortive attempt to send a sailing ship to raid the South Seas, which ended when the "Seeadler" was wrecked on a small atoll. With over eighty black and white photographs, many of them previously unpublished, and detailed maps of the routes of the major ships, "German Raiders" makes fascinating reading and is an important addition to the naval history of Australia and New Zealand.
