Mukhtasar Tareekh-e-MaujudaatProduct Details:Author: Bill Bryson | Urdu Translation by: Dr. Amanullah Qureshi | ISBN: N/A | Format: Hardcover | Pages: 541 | Weight: 1.95 lbs | Pub. Date: 2006 | Publisher: Takhleeqat DESCRIPTION Urdu translation of worldwide bestseller, "A Short History of Nearly Everything". From primordial nothingness to this very moment, A Short History of Nearly Everything reports what happened and how humans figured it out. To accomplish this daunting literary task, Bill Bryson uses hundreds of sources, from popular science books to interviews with luminaries in various fields. His aim is to help people like him, who rejected stale school textbooks and dry explanations, to appreciate how we have used science to understand the smallest particles and the unimaginably vast expanses of space. With his distinctive prose style and wit, Bryson succeeds admirably. Though A Short History clocks in at a daunting 500-plus pages and covers the same material as every science book before it, it reads something like a particularly detailed novel (albeit without a plot). Each longish chapter is devoted to a topic like the age of our planet or how cells work, and these chapters are grouped into larger sections such as "The Size of the Earth" and "Life Itself." Bryson chats with experts like Richard Fortey (author of Life and Trilobite) and these interviews are charming. But it's when Bryson dives into some of science's best and most embarrassing fights--Cope vs. Marsh, Conway Morris vs. Gould--that he finds literary gold. |
Khuda Kay Liye JangProduct Details: Author: Karen Armstrong | Translator: Mohammad Ahsan Butt | ISBN: 969-479-123-5 | Format: Hardcover | Pages: 456 | Weight: 1.62 lbs | Pub. Date: 2006 | Publisher: Nigarshat Publications DESCRIPTION Urdu translation of "The Battle For God" by Karen Armstrong. In our supposedly secular age governed by reason and technology, fundamentalism has emerged as an overwhelming force in every major world religion. Why? This is the fascinating, disturbing question that bestselling author Karen Armstrong addresses in her brilliant new book The Battle for God. Writing with the broad perspective and deep understanding of human spirituality that won huge audiences for A History of God, Armstrong illuminates the spread of militant piety as a phenomenon peculiar to our moment in history. Contrary to popular belief, fundamentalism is not a throwback to some ancient form of religion but rather a response to the spiritual crisis of the modern world. As Armstrong argues, the collapse of a piety rooted in myth and cult during the Renaissance forced people of faith to grasp for new ways of being religious--and fundamentalism was born. Armstrong focuses here on three fundamentalist movements: Protestant fundamentalism in America, Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, and Islamic fundamentalism in Egypt and Iran--exploring how each has developed its own unique way of combating the assaults of modernity. Blending history, sociology, and spirituality, The Battle for God is a compelling and compassionate study of a radical form of religious expression that is critically shaping the course of world history. "One of the most penetrating, readable, and prescient accounts to date of the rise of the fundamentalist movements in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." --The New York Times Book Review "EXCELLENT . . . HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND HIGHLY READABLE . . . This is a book that will prove indispensable . . . for anyone who seeks insight into how these powerful movements affect global politics and society today and into the future." --The Baltimore Sun . |
Andheri Raat Kay MusafirProduct Details: Author: Nasim Hijazi | ISBN: N/A | Format: Hardcover | Pages: 492 | Weight: 1.50 lbs | Pub. Date: N/A | Publisher: Jahangir Book Depot DESCRIPTION When the Romans colonised southern Spain, they built their own city here and called it Illibris. The Muslims, conquering the peninsula in the 8th century, gave it its current name of Granada. It was the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians in 1492, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon. This is the tragic story of the decline and the subsequent end of Muslim rule in Spain - the betrayals, internal conspiracies, lack of faith - all contributing to their downfall. Nasim Hijazi's description of events is such that you feel you are watching a movie instead of reading a book. You also feel part of the action with the result that once you start reading, its hard to put the book down. |
