First published in 2008. Written by a barrister and Muslim who also authored the well-known book The Spirit of Islam, this is an unusual and indispensable history of the Saracens, a people who left behind them a great legacy and incredible intellectual wealth. The history of the Saracens is also the history of the spread of Islam. This work chronicles the rise and decline of Saracen power and of the economic, social and intellectual development of the Arab nations.
The Spirit of Islam is considered one of the best and most well-written sources of information on the life of Mohammed the prophet and the history of Islam. Consisting of two parts, "The Life and Ministry of the Prophet" and "The Spirit of Islam," the book contains the literary, cultural, social, political, and philosophical history of Islam. Originally, the book was a short work entitled "A Critical Examination of the Life and Teachings of Mohammad," but the author later revised the work into what it is today. SYED AMEER ALI (1849-1928) was an Indian Muslim who wrote several books about Islamic history and practice, as well as Islamic law. A respected jurist himself, and a descendant of Mohammad, Ali's words were extremely influential. He achieved honors in school, began a legal practice in Calcutta, and was one of the most accomplished Muslims of his time before he moved to London at age 20. When he returned to Calcutta in 1873, he continued his law practice, became a law professor at Calcutta University, and founded the Central National Mohammedan Association in 1877, a political organization central to promoting modern Muslim thought. Ali moved back to London in 1904, establishing the London Muslim League in 1908 and the first London mosque in 1910. Ali continued to write and make breakthroughs for Muslims until his death in 1928.

In back to back HVDC technology we can easily control the flow of power and synchronize two different systems. Our project is based on the simulation studies and thus the feasibility of this Back to Back HVDC system which will be incorporated between Pakistan and India over a distance of less than 100 km. For simulation, the software used is Power System Simulator for Engineers, PSS/E. The working of this software is discussed in detail. In our thesis we have discussed back to back HVDC both theoretically and through simulation. They are employed on the India to Pakistan power transfer. The stability and thus the feasibility of this project is proved by simulation in PSS/E. Different types of transients have been applied to the system and stability of various parameters has been studied.
The objectives of this book are to: - Reveal the hidden facts about Islam, so that you can judge whether Islam is a divine revelation, or a man-made religion. - Show how vulnerable the human mind is to religious mind-control and raises awareness about abuse by religious brainwashing. - Examine whether Islam is a religion of peace and whether Sharia is a suitable legislation for mankind. - Highlight the main events of the Islamic Arab World during the last 1400 years and show what Muslim and Arab leaders have eventually achieved - as shown in the 20th and 21st centuries. - Determine whether any evidence provided for God's existence can hold true. - Advise on how best we can use our free mind to interact with our world and each other, to have a peaceful and happy life.
‘A powerful book’ Shashi Tharoor ‘A must-read’ Vandana Shiva A terrifying investigative account of a global corporation’s role in perpetrating India’s greatest mercury poisoning catastrophe. In 2001, a Hindustan Unilever-owned thermometer factory in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, made national headlines when a massive dump of broken mercury thermometers was discovered at a local scrapyard. As the multinational corporation conducted one hasty internal assessment after another to save face, state authorities discovered that the company had violated all acceptable guidelines for toxic waste disposal measures, causing grievous harm to its workers’ health and the region’s fragile ecosystem. As evidence of mercury poisoning among workers mounted, the local community – aided by environmental watchdog Greenpeace and various public-interest organizations – launched a battle against the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that would last fifteen years, culminating in an undisclosed settlement paid to 600 of its ex-employees. And despite the factory’s closure, scientific reports would reveal mercury levels to be 1,000 times higher than the safe limit, raising serious concerns about HUL’s toxic legacy in the hill station. For years, Ameer Shahul, a former investigative reporter and Greenpeace campaigner, closely tracked the Kodaikanal mercury poisoning case. The result is Heavy Metal, a blistering account of a colossal industrial tragedy precipitated by corporate negligence and acts of omission and commission at the highest levels.
