With an introduction by neuroscientist Daniel Glaser With his trademark compassion & erudition, Dr Oliver Sacks examines the power of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, & everyday people. Among them: a surgeon who is struck by lightning & suddenly becomes obsessed with Chopin; people with `amusia`, to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of poets & pans; & a man whose memory spans only seven seconds
- for everything but music. Dr Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson`s disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, & calm & organize people who are deeply disoriented b Alzheimer`s or schizophrenia. This classic of neurology is a book that alters our conception of who we are & how we function, & shows us an essential part of what it is to be human.

” There has never been an America without Muslims” -- so begins Amir Hussain, one of the most important scholars & teachers of Islam in America. Hussain, who is himself an American Muslim, contends that Muslims played an essential role in the creation & cultivation of the United States. Memories of 9/11 & the rise of global terrorism fuel concerns about American Muslims. The fear of American Muslims in part stems from the stereotype that all followers of Islam are violent extremists who want to overturn the American way of life. Inherent to this stereotype is the popular misconception that Islam is a new religion to America. Hussain directly addresses both of these stereotypes. Far from undermining America, Islam & American Muslims have been, & continue to be, important threads in the fabric of American life. Hussain chronicles the history of Islam in America to underscore the valuable cultural influence of Muslims on American life. He then rivets attention on music, sports, & culture as key areas in which Muslims have shaped & transformed American identity. America, Hussain concludes, would not exist as it does today without the essential contributions made by its Muslim citizens. ...

The German book that has shaped an entire generation. A mother & her two teenage children sit at the dinner table. In the middle stands a large pot of cooked mussels. Why has the father not returned home? As the evening wears on, we glimpse the issues that are tearing this family apart. 'I wrote this book in August 1989, just before the Fall of the Berlin Wall. I wanted to understand how revolutions start. It seemed logical to use the figure of a tyrannical father & turn the story into a German family saga.' Birgit Vanderbeke Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'I love this monologue. It's the first Peirene book which made me laugh out loud with tears in my eyes. The author lays bare the contradictory logic of an inflexible mind. This is a poignant yet hilarious narrative with a brilliant ending.' Meike Ziervogel ...

A fresh treatment of Fascist Italy & Nazi Germany, revealing the close ties between Mussolini & Hitler & their regimes From 1934 until 1944 Mussolini met Hitler numerous times, & the two developed a relationship that deeply affected both countries. While Germany is generally regarded as the senior power, Christian Goeschel demonstrates just how much history has underrepresented Mussolini`s influence on his German ally. In this highly readable book, Goeschel, a scholar of twentieth-century Germany & Italy, revisits all of Mussolini & Hitler`s key meetings & asks how these meetings constructed a powerful image of a strong Fascist-Nazi relationship that still resonates with the general public. His portrait of Mussolini draws on sources ranging beyond political history to reveal a leader who, at times, shaped Hitler`s decisions & was not the gullible buffoon he`s often portrayed as. The first comprehensive study of the Mussolini-Hitler relationship, this book is a must-read for scholars & anyone interested in the history of European fascism, World War II, or political leadership. ...
