Since its inception, Islam and its civilization have been in continuous
relationships with other religions, cultures, and civilizations, including not
only different forms of Christianity and Judaism inside and outside the Middle
East, Zoroastrianism and Manicheism, Hinduism and even Buddhism, but also tribal
religions in West and East Africa, in South Russia and in Central Asia,
including Tibet. The essays collected here examine the many texts that have come
down to us about these cultures and their religions, from Muslim theologians and
jurists, travelers and historians, and men of letters and of culture.

IRM Press | ISBN 1591408105 | 2005 Year | PDF | 2,73 Mb | 250 Pages
The popularity of object-oriented concepts, design, and programming has
stimulated the need for a database system that enables a straightforward process
to store and retrieve object instances. Exploring object-oriented features and
techniques in Oracle DBMS, this book describes the fundamental aspects of data
modeling and implementation in Oracle. The implementation of structural aspects
of an object model are covered, including object types, collection types, object
referencing, nested tables, and inheritance structures, as well as the
behavioral aspects that include encapsulated member procedures and functions.
The complete cycle of database design using object-oriented concepts,
implementation on object-relational Oracle, and data manipulations using member
procedures/functions and object-relational queries is also addressed.

David W. Orr, "The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention"
Oxford University Press | ISBN 019514855X | 2005 Year | PDF | 0,77 Mb | 247
Pages
The environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative--
trying to stop "progress." The Nature of Design, on the other hand, is about
starting things, specifically an ecological design revolution that changes how
we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood, and how we deal
with waste.
Ecological design is an emerging field that aims to recalibrate what humans do
in the world according to how the world works as a biophysical system. Design in
this sense is a large concept having to do as much with politics and ethics as
with buildings and technology.
The book begins by describing the scope of design, comparing it to the
Enlightenment of the 18th century. Subsequent chapters describe barriers to a
design revolution inherent in our misuse of language, the clockspeed of
technological society, and shortsighted politics. Orr goes on to describe the
critical role educational institutions might play in fostering design
intelligence and what he calls "a higher order of heroism."
Appropriately, the book ends on themes of charity, wilderness, and the rights of
children. Astute yet broadly appealing, The Nature of Design combines theory,
practicality, and a call to action.
Walter Laqueur, "The New Terrorism: Fanaticism and the Arms of Mass Destruction"
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0195140648 | 2000 Year | PDF | 2 Mb | 320 Pages
The use of violence to achieve political goals stretches all the way back to
biblical times, and Walter Laqueur outlines its long practice in these pages.
Yet his main concern is with the 21st-century threat of "megaterrorism": "What
we know about past ages of barbarism is frightening enough," he writes. "The
consequences of aggressive madness in the age of high technology and the era of
weapons of mass destruction may well be beyond our imagination." Along the way,
he offers a fascinating sociology of terrorism; its practitioners, for instance,
tend to come from the educated middle classes (although this is far from a hard-
and-fast rule). Also, terrorists rarely believe their actions will allow them to
seize political power. Instead, they aim to provoke specific responses from
their targets, such as lighting an international conflict. Although it is hardly
a how-to book, The New Terrorism describes what it takes for terrorism to
succeed--Laqueur's list of essentials includes careful planning, an ability to
improvise, small units of operation, the anonymity of large urban areas, and
ready sources of money. The book is full of rich observations, and there
probably isn't a more knowledgeable source on the subject than Laqueur, who has
written several books on European and Middle Eastern history and military
analysis. His mild pessimism is troubling, but perhaps warranted. Terrorism is
about to become even more terrible.
