Demystifying Bigotry Ii


Book Description

For many Americans, bigotry and white privilege are simply some things they read or hear about but never seem to experience on a personal level. Many have heard our society described as an ethnically diverse society but never really paid any attention to that diversity. Often when people hear about social injustices committed against American citizens, the sentiment “they probably deserved it” often comes to their minds without much thought. For all the people that fit into any of the aforementioned categories, this book serves as an introduction to ethnic bigotry as it exists in everyday life in America. The majority of the blog selections in this book are discussions, reactions, or analysis of occurrences in everyday America that lend themselves to an insight/interest into bigotry and the attitudes, ideas, and behavior that accompany it. Regardless of the conflicts in the selections, the conclusions are generally optimistic.

Herbs Demystified


Book Description

The scores of books on herbs already available generally restate old, often outdated lore about herbs. Now, Herbs Demystified does something entirely different: It is the first book to explain exactly what herbs actually do inside our bodies and how they achieve their effects. Biochemist Holly Phaneuf covers 100 of the most popular herbs-astragalus, black cohosh, chamomile, echinacea, garlic, gingko, ginseng, milk thistle, pine bark extract, saw palmetto, valerian, and many others. Phaneuf's introductory overview lays out the basic chemical principles that underlie the journey herbal molecules make in our bodies. Then, for each of the herbs, she covers its history and folklore; explains what the herb really does-its evidence of action; its good uses and not so good uses, including the forms in which it is typically available and commonly reported dosages; interesting facts and the bottom line. Like no other herb book before, Herbs Demystified allows readers to custom-fit an herb to one's own particular concern, therefore minimizing trial and error.










Demystifying Shariah


Book Description

A direct counterpoint to fear mongering headlines about shariah law—a Muslim American legal expert tells the real story, eliminating stereotypes and assumptions with compassion, irony, and humor Through scare tactics and deliberate misinformation campaigns, anti-Muslim propagandists insist wrongly that shariah is a draconian and oppressive Islamic law that all Muslims must abide by. They circulate horror stories, encouraging Americans to fear the “takeover of shariah” law in America and even mounting “anti-shariah protests” . . . . with zero evidence that shariah has taken over any part of our country. (That’s because it hasn’t.) It would be almost funny if it weren’t so terrifyingly wrong—as puzzling as if Americans suddenly began protesting the Martian occupation of Earth. Demystifying Shariah explains that shariah is not one set of punitive rules or even law the way we think of law—rigid and enforceable—but religious rules and recommendations that provide Muslims with guidance in various aspects of life. Sumbul Ali-Karamali draws on scholarship and her degree in Islamic law to explain shariah in an accessible, engaging narrative style—its various meanings, how it developed, and how the shariah-based legal system operated for over a thousand years. She explains what shariah means not only in the abstract but in the daily lives of Muslims. She discusses modern calls for shariah, what they mean, and whether shariah is the law of the land anywhere in the world. She also describes the key lies and misunderstandings about shariah circulating in our public discourse, and why so many of them are nonsensical. This engaging guide is intended to introduce you to the basic principles, goals, and general development of shariah and to answer questions like: How do Muslims engage with shariah? What does shariah have to do with our Constitution? What does shariah have to do with the way the world looks like today? And why do we all—Muslims or not—need to care?




Wicca Demystified


Book Description

Among the topics he covers are why Wiccans worship a goddess as well as a god; how Wiccans celebrate holidays; the Wiccan view of death, birth, and the nature of deity; right and wrong from a Wiccan perspective; witch stereotypes and nasty rumors about Wiccans; the Wiccan sacred text; and much more. Wicca Demystified goes beyond the simple mechanics of Wiccan worship to provide a glimpse into the heart and soul of the religion.
