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.

Pests & Other Friends
Celebrate the often maligned pests who populate our world in this cheerfully illustrated compendium of the world’s most misunderstood animals. Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap, but each and every one of them serves a purpose in our ecosystem. In Pests and Other Friends, you will learn how helpful, fascinating, and hilarious these creatures can be! This book explores regions across North America, highlighting specific ecosystems and the animals that draw the ire of the people who live there. From the armadillos in the American Southwest digging holes in backyards, to the sandhill cranes across the Great Plains dining on farmers’ crops, you’ll learn all about these creatures' troublemaking behaviors as well as their benefits to their ecosystems. By delving into the history and diet of each species and the reasons they are considered pests, you’ll never look at pigeons, skunks, or groundhogs in the same way. Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and the only marsupial in North America, the Virginia opossum, can all be found within these pages. Hopefully, you will be able to appreciate them for what they do for us despite getting into our garbage cans, gardens, and attics.
Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism
Muslim intellectuals who sought to establish the boundaries of modern Muslim identityMuslim modernism was a political and intellectual movement that sought to redefine the relationship between Islam and the colonial West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Spearheaded by Muslim leaders in Asia and the Middle East, the modernist project arose from a desire to reconcile Islamic beliefs and practices with European ideas of secularism, scientific progress, women’s rights, and democratic representation. Teena Purohit provides innovative readings of the foundational thinkers of Muslim modernism, showing how their calls for unity and reform led to the marginalization of Muslim minority communities that is still with us today. Sunni Chauvinism and the Roots of Muslim Modernism offers fresh perspectives on figures such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and Abul A’la Mawdudi. It sheds light on the exclusionary impulses and Sunni normative biases of modernist Muslim writers and explores how their aim to unite the global Muslim community—which was stagnant and fragmented in their eyes—also created lasting divisions. While modernists claimed to represent all Muslims when they asserted the centrality and significance of unity, they questioned the status of groups such as Ahmadis, Bahais, and the Shia more broadly. Addressing timely questions about religious authority and reform in modern Islam, this incisive book reveals how modernist notions of Islam as a single homogeneous tradition gave rise to enduring debates about who belongs to the Muslim community and who should be excluded.
Beatrice the Sixteenth
A pioneering feminist adventure in an alternate world before the concept of gender. Introduced by Lucy Sante, author of the acclaimed memoir of transition I Heard Her Call My Name, this pioneering 1909 feminist utopia is productively discombobulating. When Mary Hatherley, an intrepid British explorer, is kicked in the head by the camel she was riding through the Arabian desert, she finds herself transported to what seems to be an alternate version of Earth. Arriving in Armeria, she discovers a society in which the very concept of gender is unknown. Like Mary, the reader will become disoriented, enjoyably so: By avoiding the use of gendered pronouns, the story s author (herself a gender-fluid activist) challenges our assumptions about gendered social paradigms.
