Family Life in the Ottoman Mediterranean: A Social History by Beshara B. Doumani
Requirements: PDF Reader, 4 MB
Overview: In writings about Islam, women, and modernity in the Middle East, family and religion are frequently invoked but rarely historicized. Accessibly written and based on a wide range of local sources spanning two centuries (1660–1860), this book shows that there is no such thing as a typical Muslim or Arab family. Rather, it reveals dramatic regional differences, even within the same cultural zone, in the ways that family is understood, organized, and reproduced. By concentrating on family life in the Ottoman Mediterranean, in particular in what is now Lebanon and Palestine, Beshara B. Doumani skilfully uses examples of family waqf endowments, lawsuits between kin, and other cases from the shariʿa courts to reconstruct the encounters between kin and court and kin in court. Through his comparative examination of the transformations of family, property, and gender regimes, Doumani offers a ground-breaking examination of the stories and priorities of ordinary people. By doing so, he challenges prevailing assumptions about modern Middle Eastern societies.

Violence, Colonialism and Empire in the Modern World by Philip Dwyer, Amanda Nettelbeck
Requirements: EPUB, PDF Reader, 5 MB
Overview: This book explores the theme of violence, repression and atrocity in imperial and colonial empires, as well as its representations and memories, from the late eighteenth through to the twentieth century. It examines the wide variety of violent means by which colonies and empire were maintained in the modern era, the politics of repression and the violent structures inherent in empire. Bringing together scholars from around the world, the book includes chapters on British, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese colonies and conquests.
It considers multiple experiences of colonial violence, ranging from political dispute to the non-lethal violence of everyday colonialism and the symbolic repression inherent in colonial practices and hierarchies. These comparative case studies show how violence was used to assert and maintain control in the colonies, contesting the long held view that the colonial project was of benefit to colonised peoples.

The Illustrated History of Football by David Squires
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 106 MB
Overview: This is football comic-ery, but not as you know it. Welcome to the inimitable work of illustrator David Squires.
Football and comics. Once a hearty Saturday combination to match cartoons and cereal, in recent years they’ve drifted apart. Thankfully for us, Squires is here to change all that.
In The Illustrated History of Football, his first book, Squires relives some of football’s most glorious moments and meets its greatest figures. In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football’s overblown balloon.
Funny, good-looking and preternaturally astute, this book is everything Sepp Blatter wishes he could be.
