Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One of the world's foremost commentators on religious affairs on the history (and destiny) of the world's most misunderstood religion. In the public mind, Islam is a religion of extremes: it is the world's fastest growing faith; more than three-quarters of the world's refugees are Islamic; it has produced government by authoritarian monarchies in Saudi Arabia and ultra-republicans in Iran. Whether we are reading about civil war in Algeria or Afghanistan, the struggle for the soul of Turkey, or political turmoil in Pakistan or Malaysia, the Islamic context permeates all these situations. Karen Armstrong's elegant and concise book traces how Islam grew from the other religions of the book, Judaism and Christianity; introduces us to the character of Muhammed; and demonstrates that for much of its history, the religion has been a force for enlightenment that promoted liberties for women and allowed the arts and sciences to flourish. ISLAM shows how this progressive legacy is today often set aside as the faith struggles to come to terms with the economic and political weakness of most of its believers and with the forces of modernity itself. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001192414

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Bringing together 31 world-renowned artists, We Are All Born Free is a fully illustrated, simplified adaptation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established to cultivate world peace in the wake of the Second World War. Published in association with Amnesty International to mark the 60th anniversary of the declaration, the collection leads readers through each of its 30 articles, the full resonance of which is beautifully realised by the accompanying illustrations. Children and adults will recognise the work of their favourite artists and discover new ones as they gain valuable and long-lasting insight into the rights that belong to everyone, whatever our differences. With the unique styles of Axel Scheffler, Peter Sis, Satoshi Kitamura, Alan Lee, Polly Dunbar, Jackie Morris, Debi Gliori, Chris Riddell and many more, the role of the declaration in shaping the modern world has never been more boldly presented.

Includes a helpful index at the back to match artists with articles. All royalties from the sale of this book are donated to Amnesty International. Actor David Tennant and John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, provide forewords explaining how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is more than an era-defining document: it is a collection of rules for the world to live by, and We Are All Born Free might be the most important [book] that you ever own. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR006815518

This book offers the story of Buddhism from its beginnings, in the life of Prime Siddhartha Gautama, his transfiguration as the Buddha and the metamorphosis of his vision into Buddhism, the religion. It continues with its migration to different countries and the development of a specific identity in each place, with ideas and practices distinct to each sect and school. History, fact and legend intertwine in the making of a philosophy that is the guiding light to three hundred million people worldwide. Deeply rooted in ancient traditions, Buddhism was virtually obliterated in its originating homeland, India, before making a comeback worldwide. Flexible, practical, and foremost an ethical creed, Buddhism's ability to maintain its core beliefs while adapting to each new environment, is the secret of its continuing strength and growth. Hence also the growth of Buddhist adherents in all parts of the world today - for this creed, they claim, has the healing touch we all so desperately need.No. 20331 310 pp. Seller Inventory # 31122
