Book Description
A fusion novel "What do you think it would be like waking up next to..." I thought it was a simple question at the time as she giggled into her pillow. So we give a fresh look to answer who he really is by spiraling back in time, yet his name kept getting mentions on social media. Digging to figure out who he really is, reading from the year zero, and suddenly we hear his name in therapist speak on the news. Eight pages was all we have found, who was he, really? The further back we dig, the more his episodes pop up in every day life. We wind up with a story from before time, that is part of our nature and involves us to this day. We discover some interesting real world places along the way and bring together a mixture of fact and fiction, legend and myth into our current events and daily routine to discover a story about our origins fusing together art, anthropology, psychology and truth of his story naturally ripe in the world we live in today. Find your reality. Set our mind free, you'll like what you see.

Book Description
Islam, Bruce Lawrence argues, is a complex, international religious system that cannot be reduced to stereotypes. As Lawrence demonstrates, Islam is a religion shaped as much by its own postulates and ethical demands as by the specific circumstances of Muslim people in the modern world. It is time, Lawrence believes, to replace inaccurate images of Islam with a recognition of the multifaceted character of this global religion and of its widely diverse adherents. Shattering the Myth provides significant insights into the history of Islam and a greater understanding of the varied experiences of Muslims today.

Book Description
Barbie or Lego? Reading maps or reading emotions? Do you have a female brain or a male brain? Or is that the wrong question? On a daily basis we face deeply ingrained beliefs that our sex determines our skills and preferences, from toys and colours to career choice and salaries. But what does this mean for our thoughts, decisions and behaviour? Using the latest cutting-edge neuroscience, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that bombard us from our earliest moments and shows how these messages mould our ideas of ourselves and even shape our brains. Rigorous, timely and liberating, The Gendered Brainhas huge repercussions for women and men, for parents and children, and for how we identify ourselves. 'Highly accessible... Revolutionary to a glorious degree' Observer

Book Description
Cherr’e Moraga, Migdalia Cruz, Caridad Svich, Josefina Lopez , Edit Villarreal and Diana S‡ena are in the vanguard of contemporary Hispanic women playwrights in the United States. The voices of three generations of Hispanic women are heard in these plays as the women explore their bicultural heritage, articulating what it means to be a Hispanic woman and, in essence, shattering the myths that have been associated with that heritage. The plays of Shattering the Myth illuminate a feminine language rich with texture and character, a language that has far too long been hidden from this countryÕs cultural tapestry. Opening the anthology is an introduction by Linda Feyder which provides background on the playwrights and their works. The plays in the collection were chosen by noted playwright and novelist Denise Ch‡vez.
