Looting Hummingbirds
In the first quarter of the 20th century, Daniel Thaly of Dominica, then a British Caribbean colony, was one of France’s most celebrated poets. He was educated in Martinique and then at medical school in France before returning to Dominica. His illustrious reputation crumbled when radicals in the emerging anti-colonial Negritude movement criticised his work. From then on he wrote little. Here for the first time in English (and French) we can read a selection of his lyrical and passionate poems - many about Dominica - alongside an introduction that pieces together what little is known of his life.
Sympathy for Yahweh
In Kenya, underneath a hot tin roof in tropical heat, a voice in a dream literally tempted author Alan Wildsmith to interpret the Book of Job. In Sympathy for Yahweh, you join Alan - a practicing psychotherapist, writer, creative cookie, and complete biblical novice - on a dynamic journey of discovery.? Many feel alienated by biblical religious doctrines and dogma, especially if their spiritual experiences have been disregarded by others, by frameworks, or by interpretations of holy texts. Oddly enough, though, Alan discovered that when you seriously engage the Book of Job, the very foundations of organised religion shudder. With humour and self-reflection, and from unique perspectives, Ala? book will bring you into a fresh, vital, and most importantly, unshackled relationship with our Western God. I? not just the dogmatic side of religion that this book shakes up but also dogmatic scientism, which pervades the Western psyche, casting away intuitions, dreams, synchronicities, visions, and other felt senses as superfluous - the more feminine aspects of our psyche - and while on the journey he had with this biblical book, Alan found femininity a subtle yet strong theme. Sympathy for Yahweh is for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, spirituality, and psychology. If an atheist can find faith in this book, so can a religious zealot! Everyone is welcome.

In the Year of the Tiger Volume 62
In 1950, France experienced two parallel but different outcomes in its Indochina war. While the conflict in the north ended with a disastrous defeat for the French at Dien Bien Phu, in southern Vietnam, or Cochinchina, France emerged victorious in a series of violent but now largely forgotten actions. In the Year of the Tiger tells the story of this critical southern campaign, revealing in dramatic detail how the French war for Cochinchina set the stage for the American war in Vietnam. In northern Vietnam, the French troops had focused on destroying Viet Minh main force units. A dearth of resources in the south dictated a different strategy. William M. Waddell III describes how, by avoiding costly attempts to defeat the Viet Minh in the traditional military sense, the southern French command was able to secure key economic and political strongholds. Consulting both French and Vietnamese sources, Waddell examines the principal commanders on both sides, their competing strategies, and the hard-fought military campaign that they waged for control of the south. The author’s deft analysis suggests that counter to widely accepted views, the Viet Minh were not invincible, and the outcome of the conflict in Indochina was not inevitable. A challenge to historical orthodoxy, In the Year of the Tiger presents a more balanced interpretation of the French war for Indochina. At the same time, the book alters and expands our understanding of the precedents and the dynamics of America’s Vietnam War.
Disasters of Biblical Proportions
How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophePeople have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.
