Arms and Armor

DK Eyewitness Books

Author: Michele Byam, Dk

In a world where even toy guns are reviled by pacifistic parents there exists the extraordinary Eyewitness Book Arms & Armor. Studying weaponry is an unusual, fascinating angle on human history, as people have always used weapons to hunt, defend themselves, or attack. This intriguing photo essay examines the design, construction, and use of hand weapons and armor--from the Stone Age axe to the revolvers and rifles of the Wild West.

In the tradition of the Eyewitness series, Arms & Armor begins with a short introduction to prehistoric weapons, accompanied by a photograph-rich spread with fascinating, history-packed, fun-fact-loaded captions. The Los Angeles Times Book Review says the Eyewitness Books are "like a mini-museum between the covers of a book," and they are right! From crude Paleolithic hand axes, we progress to missile weapons; the first warriors (and the effect of the discovery of copper and bronze on tools and weapons); the weapons of the armies of ancient times; weapons from the Dark Ages; European swords; crossbows versuslongbows; axes, daggers, and knives; plate and mail armor; Indian warriors; Japanese samurais; early firearms; flintlock firearms; dueling swords; dueling pistols ("Although illegal, for centuries dueling was a popular way for 'gentlemen' and army officers to settle their quarrels," the section begins); bizarre, extraordinary, seemingly impractical hand weapons; grenadiers and cavalry; pistols; "Guns that won the West"; North American Indian weapons; and, believe it or not, more. This book is sure to find an audience with youngsters obsessed with knights and times medieval, art-history buffs, amateur historians, or anyone with a penchant for pistols. (Ages 9 to 12) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

МУХАММАД и КУРАЙШИТЫ - История войны и мира -

С огромным удовольствием публикуем работу о прославленной жиз-ни Пророка Мухаммада, написанную доктором Закарией Баширом, автором многих книг об Исламе и Пророке, получивших широкое признание как среди ученых, так и у простых читателей. Книги Башира основываются на подлинных арабских источниках и показывают его знание и последних работ в этой области. Успешно и активно изучая различные аспекты и стороны жизни Пророка, Закария Башир доказывает, что жить и поступать, как Пророк, возможно и в нашей жизни. Его книги, таким образом, превосходят обычные работы по данной тематике, представляющие собой, в основном, фактическое описание жизни и достижений Пророка.

Книги Закарии Башира ближе знакомят нас с этим достойным под-ражания человеком, с его учением, делающим нашу жизнь богаче, с его благородными сподвижниками и, в первую очередь, с благословенной миссией Ислама. Читая его книги, мы получаем ясное представление о том, как Коран и наставления Пророка помогли превратить бедуи-нов Аравии в воплощение добродетели, дисциплины и сильной власти. Работы Закарии Башира позволяют лучше узнать скромного Пророка Мухаммада $5 и его самоотверженных сподвижников, которые, ни се-кунды не колеблясь, жертвовали всем, что у них было, ради Аллаха и торжества Ислама.

Эта последняя работа автора, сохраняющая все лучшие черты его ра-бот по сире (жизнеописанию Пророка Мухаммада), является особенно актуальной, так как утверждает мирный дух Ислама, опровергая ошибочное представление о том, что эта религия якобы связана с насилием. Еще более удивительно то, что эта книга опровергает заявление востоковедов о несоответствии между мекканским и мединским периодами жизни Пророка. В словах и делах Пророка никогда не было несоответствий, ведь он проповедовал и претворял в жизнь идеалы мирного сосуществования и свободы вероисповедания как в Мекке, так и в Медине. Исследуя историю взаимоотношений Пророка и многобожников-курайшитов, автор приходит к выводу, что мирное сосуществование Ислама с другими религиями — это правило, а война — лишь исключение. Только в случае самозащиты либо когда речь идет о противостоянии правителям-тиранам Ислам оправдывает войну. Все основные сражения на ранних этапах распространения

Ислама рассмотрены автором в контексте мусульманского учения о войне и мире. В этом же свете им изучена история мирных договоров и делегаций, которые Пророк направлял к разным правителям. В общем, это важный труд по сире, за который Закария Башир заслуживает нашей благодарности и признательности.

Настоящий труд по праву можно считать завершающим три прежние работы этого ученого по сире, дающих полную картину удивительной жизни Пророка и его роли в истории.

Я же, пользуясь возможностью, хочу поблагодарить издательскую группу Фонда, за обеспечение публикации этой книги. Пусть Аллах вознаградит всех, кто помог в ее создании, и даст нам возможность быть похожими на Пророка. Аминь.

Arranged regionally to give readers an overview of the distinct areas of the country, the State-by-State Atlas creates a clear and easy to understand way of learning American geography and culture. Each state's landscape, industry, agriculture, population, history, and folkways are explored in a vibrant information book children will want to use throughout their school age years.

This visually attractive guide to the states divides the nation into seven major regions. For each area, a short time line lists events as diverse as the Battle of Gettysburg and the completion of Mt. Rushmore. The spread for each state offers information on the bird, flower, tree, population, ranking in statehood, and land area. Two paragraphs of general description and history introduce the state, while additional bits of information in caption form are provided. A short profile of a historical figure or current celebrity is included, such as Madonna from Michigan and Susan B. Anthony from New York. Colorful maps, photos, and drawings alternate with the scattered text. As a supplemental source for state reports, this is an adequate work. Most online encyclopedias or state sites will provide more comprehensive information. School Library Journal
