This book was written with the intention of showing gratitude for the blessings from Allah and seeking His pleasure. It is but a meager effort compared to the great blessings the Creator has showered upon the writer. It is precisely with the blessings and pleasures bestowed by Allah that this hand is able to write, head able to think and tongue able to speak so as to convey this information to my people, and indeed to whoever is interested, regardless of skin colour, tribe, race or belief.

Verily the Code of Law of Allah are a trust for all, to be understood, coneyed and implemented, whether or not people are willing to accept is totally up to them. Those who accept are promised pleasures in this world and in the hereafter while those who do not are promised the opposite. That is all.

May Allah shower us with His guidance.

His starting point is moral intuition—the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim—that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.

An unforgettable firsthand account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity. This remarkable debut book chronicles what has happened in Rwanda and neighboring states since 1994, when the Rwandan government called on everyone in the Hutu majority to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Though the killing was low-tech--largely by machete--it was carried out at shocking speed: some 800,000 people were exterminated in a hundred days. A Tutsi pastor, in a letter to his church president, a Hutu, used the chilling phrase that gives Philip Gourevitch his title. With keen dramatic intensity, Gourevitch frames the genesis and horror of Rwanda's genocidal logic in the anguish of its aftermath: the mass displacements, the temptations of revenge and the quest for justice, the impossibly crowded prisons and refugee camps. Through intimate portraits of Rwandans in all walks of life, he focuses on the psychological and political challenges of survival and on how the new leaders of postcolonial Africa went to war in the Congo when resurgent genocidal forces threatened to overrun central Africa. Can a country composed largely of perpetrators and victims create a cohesive national society? This moving contribution to the literature of witness tells us much about the struggle everywhere to forge sane, habitable political orders, and about the stubbornness of the human spirit in a world of extremity. We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families is the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.

The Story of China tells a thrilling story of intense drama, fabulous creativity and deep humanity; a portrait of a country that will be of the greatest importance to the world in the twenty-first century.
China’s story is extraordinarily rich and dramatic. Now Michael Wood, one of the UK's pre-eminent historians, brings it all together in a major new one-volume history of China that is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand its burgeoning role in our world today.

China is the oldest living civilisation on earth, but its history is still surprisingly little known in the wider world. Michael Wood's sparkling narrative, which mingles the grand sweep with local and personal stories, woven together with the author’s own travel journals, is an enthralling account of China’s 4000-year-old tradition, taking in life stationed on the Great Wall or inside the Forbidden City. The story is enriched with the latest archaeological and documentary discoveries; correspondence and court cases going back to the Qin and Han dynasties; family letters from soldiers in the real-life Terracotta Army; stories from Silk Road merchants and Buddhist travellers, along with memoirs and diaries of  emperors, poets and peasants.  

A compelling portrait of a single civilisation over an immense period of time, the book is full of intimate detail and colourful voices, taking us from the desolate Mongolian steppes to the ultra-modern world of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. It also asks what were the forces that have kept China together for so long? Why was China overtaken by the west after the 18th century? What lies behind China’s extraordinary rise today?

Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad is a captivating novel that explores themes of identity, displacement, and the power of art in the face of political strife. Set in present-day Palestine, the story follows Sonia Nasir, a British actress of Palestinian descent who returns to her ancestral homeland after years away.

Sonia's journey is one of rediscovering her roots and confronting the complexities of her heritage. She grapples with her own conflicted feelings about Palestine, a land she left as a child but that still holds a deep emotional resonance for her.

As Sonia reconnects with her family and the wider Palestinian community, she is drawn into the vibrant world of the local theater scene. She joins a production of Hamlet in Arabic, a daring project that takes on added significance in the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Through the lens of the play, Hammad explores the multifaceted realities of Palestinian life. The characters grapple with issues of occupation, checkpoints, and the constant threat of violence. Yet, there is also resilience, hope, and a fierce determination to preserve their culture and identity.
