Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Abdul Zaeef describes growing up in poverty in rural Kandahar province, which he fled for Pakistan after the Russian invasion of 1979. Zaeef joined the jihad in 1983, was seriously wounded in several encounters and met many leading figures of the resistance, including the current Taliban head, Mullah Mohammad Omar. Disgusted by the lawlessness that ensued after the Soviet withdrawal, Zaeef was one among the former mujahidin who were closely involved in the emergence of the Taliban, in 1994. He then details his Taliban career, including negotiations with Ahmed Shah Massoud and role as ambassador to Pakistan during 9/11. In early 2002 Zaeef was handed over to American forces in Islamabad and spent four and a half years in prison in Bagram and Guantanamo before being released without charge. My Life with the Taliban offers insights into the Pashtun village communities that are the Taliban's bedrock and helps to explain what drives men like Zaeef to take up arms against the foreigners who are foolish enough to invade his homeland.

My Life with the Taliban

By: Abdul Salam Zaeef

This is the autobiography of Abdul Salam Zaeef, a senior former member of the Taliban. His memoirs, translated from Pashto, are more than just a personal account of his extraordinary life. My Life with the Taliban offers a counter-narrative to the standard accounts of Afghanistan since 1979. Zaeef describes growing up in rural poverty in Kandahar province. Both of his parents died at an early age, and the Russian invasion of 1979 forced him to flee to Pakistan. He started fighting the jihad in 1983, during which time he was associated with many major figures in the anti-Soviet resistance, including the current Taliban head Mullah Mohammad Omar. After the war Zaeef returned to a quiet life in a small village in Kandahar, but chaos soon overwhelmed Afghanistan as factional fighting erupted after the Russians pulled out. Disgusted by the lawlessness that ensued, Zaeef was one among the former mujahidin who were closely involved in the discussions that led to the emergence of the Taliban, in 1994. Zaeef then details his Taliban career as civil servant and minister who negotiated with foreign oil companies as well as with Afghanistan's own resistance leader, Ahmed Shah Massoud. Zaeef was ambassador to Pakistan at the time of the 9/11 attacks, and his account discusses the strange "phoney war" period before the US-led intervention toppled the Taliban. In early 2002 Zaeef was handed over to American forces in Pakistan, notwithstanding his diplomatic status, and spent four and a half years in prison (including several years in Guantanamo) before being released without having been tried or charged with any offence. My Life with the Taliban offers a personal and privileged insight into the rural Pashtun village communities that are the Taliban's bedrock. It helps to explain what drives men like Zaeef to take up arms against the foreigners who are foolish enough to invade his homeland.

The Dark Environmentalist

By: Mohammed Abdul Halim

Climate change, characterized by escalating environmental crises such as droughts, storms, and melting ice sheets, forces both humans and animals to seek sustainable livelihoods in a world constrained by finite habitation spaces. The surge in global population exacerbates inequalities, with women and girls disproportionately burdened by the ensuing suffering. Nadia Begum, a woman from Bangladesh, emerges as a voice from the climate-affected delta region, proposing solutions in the face of a looming environmental crisis. Nadia, having experienced climate ravages, embarks on a mission to recalibrate global warming levels, envisioning a world where humanity serves as stewards of nature. The daunting challenge lies in overcoming entrenched interests, from billionaires hoarding wealth to corporations exploiting resources. She perceives herself as a supernatural force, wrestling with the thin line between visionary conviction and a descent into madness as she endeavours to shield the Earth from disintegration. In this complex narrative, the imperative for viable solutions to the pressing climate crisis remains urgent and paramount.

Potash Use and Dynamics in Agriculture

By: Abdul Wakeel,Muhammad Ishfaq

This book covers the use and dynamics of potassium fertilizers in agriculture. It explores potassium dynamics in soil, phytoavailability, uptake and translocation in crop plants, impact of potassium fertilizers on quality of agricultural produce. Potassium is an essential plant nutrient that has long been overlooked in agriculture of many developing countries. In most of the agro-ecosystems of such countries, potassium balance is negative because its application seldom matches with crop removal. Agro-technicians lack enough skills and resources to promote the right source of fertilizer at the right rate, time and place to facilitate profitable farming. There is a need for farmers to update their farming practices so as to improve the crop yield and quality under unfavorable climatic conditions. Correct application of potassium fertilizers is directly linked with increased crop yield per unit land area in most of the developing countries. Therefore this book fills the gap in the information and provide the readers with latest updates on use of potassium fertilizers. This book contains latest information relevant for graduate students, progressive farmers, extension worker, early career researchers, and policy makers.

Islam & Jihad

Prejudice Versus Reality

By: Abdul Gafoor Abdul Majeed Noorani

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath have focused the world's attention on Islamic fundamentalism. This accessible volume aims to rebutt the misconceptions about Islam articulated by many European intellectuals down the centuries. For non-Muslims these still obstruct a clear understanding of both the nature of Islam and the history of Christian/Muslim interactions.

My American Diary

A Story of Travel Love and Romance in America

By: Abdul Aziz

There are not many people who can say they have experienced visions or miracles. But as the son of Lucille Smith, I can say I have. In the beginning as a growing Christian, I did not realize the relevance of these experiences. As the years have passed, the visions and miracles have come to past. I am proud that my mother has decided to share this book with the rest of the world. As you read, I hope that you experience the same feelings of faith and belief." Jason. D. Smith "My name is Kandice, and I am a married mother of three boys. Lucille H. Smith is my mother. She always had dreams and visions as long as I can remember. She is an inspiration to everyone who knows her. This book is the culmination of years of documented dreams, visions, and prophecies. I enjoyed reading and remembering, and I know you will enjoy sharing her journey." Kandice N. Butler

The Changing Demography of Saudi Arabia

By: Asharaf Abdul Salam,Mini T.C.

Saudi Arabia has a long history, in which demographic progress has been marked as resulting from multidimensional and multisectorial development, enabling a high quality of life, rather than coerced family planning or control. Efforts to build a competitive economy and living standards highlighted the need for infrastructure to maintain low levels of morbidity and mortality, and an absence of population pressure combined with socio-religious traditions, customs, and practices favoring a pronatalist perspective dictating the fertility preferences of the Kingdom’s people. This book, an empirical and analytical demonstration of resource-intensive Saudi Arabian demography, traces the journey from an agrarian to a modern society. It explores the demographic, socio-economic, developmental, epidemiologic, and health aspects of this transition.

Micronutrient Fertilizer Use in Pakistan

Historical Perspective and 4R Nutrient Stewardship

By: Abdul Rashid,Munir Zia,Waqar Ahmad

Micronutrient research has been an important component of the soil fertility and plant nutrition program in Pakistan since the identification of zinc deficiency in rice in 1969. Since then, considerable progress has been made on diagnosis and management of micronutrient nutrition problems in crops. However, now there is growing R&D evidence that micronutrient malnutrition in humans could be addressed through enriching staple food grains with micronutrients. This book presents the latest R&D information on micronutrient problems in crop plants/cropping systems and their corrective measures. The current status, the constraints, and economic benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers for optimizing crop productivity and soil resource sustainability are discussed along with estimating future potential requirement of micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, produce quality, and soil resource sustainability. Wide-scale preventable micronutrient deficiencies in human populations originate from micronutrient-deficient soils over which staple cereals and other food crops are grown. This book summarizes R&D information on fertilizer use-based micronutrient biofortification in staple food grains to address "hidden hunger" in human populations. The book also presents the best management practices by which micronutrient deficiencies could be corrected in crop plants in a farmer-friendly manner. Features Reviews the micronutrients R&D carried out in Pakistan over the past five decades Focuses on soil–plant analysis techniques for effective prognosis and diagnosis of micronutrient disorders Presents spatial variability maps of micronutrient deficiencies in agricultural soils and crops Provides value–cost ratios of using micronutrient fertilizers for major crops Works out current use level of micronutrient fertilizers and their potential future requirements in the country Discusses agronomic biofortification approach for enriching crop-based food with micronutrients to address "hidden hunger" Presents a compelling case for enhanced use of the deficient micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, farmer income, and national economy Presents micronutrient fertilizer use recommendations for salient crops and discusses fertilizer use for micronutrients in the context of 4R nutrient stewardship Recommends future R&D needed for optimizing micronutrient nutrition of crops
