Field Guide to Birds of the Indian Subcontinent

A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2025 A spellbinding look at the history of the world through the stories of twelve carpets Beautiful, sensuous, and enigmatic, great carpets follow power. Emperors, shahs, sultans and samurai crave them as symbols of earthly domination. Shamans and priests desire them to evoke the spiritual realm. The world's 1% hunger after them as displays of extreme status. And yet these seductive objects are made by poor and illiterate weavers, using the most basic materials and crafts; hedgerow plants for dyes, fibres from domestic animals, and the millennia-old skills of interweaving warps, wefts and knots. In Threads of Empire, Dorothy Armstrong tells the histories of some of the world's most fascinating carpets, exploring how these textiles came into being then were transformed as they moved across geography and time in the slipstream of the great. She shows why the world's powerful were drawn to them, but also asks what was happening in the weavers' lives, and how they were affected by events in the world outside their tent, village or workshop. In its wide-ranging examination of these dazzling objects, from the 5th century BCE contents of the tombs of Scythian chieftains, to the carpets under the boots of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill at the 1945 Yalta Peace Conference, Threads of Empire uncovers a new, hitherto hidden past right beneath our feet.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Part coming-of-age memoir, part reclamation . . . a portrait of a woman who has learned that courage isn't just about defying extremists, but also about allowing yourself to be ordinary' MARIE CLAIRE 'Remarkably intimate and insistently human' NEW YORK TIMES Thrust onto the public stage at just fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon - but away from the cameras and crowds, she was a young woman struggling to find her place in a world that was telling her the role she had to play. Now, for the very first time, Malala takes readers behind the headlines in her candid and revelatory memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness. From friendship to first love, failed exams to impulsive adventures, Finding My Way reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human. And through moments of astonishing vulnerability, Malala reveals the psychological toll of the Taliban shooting that nearly ended her life - and shares her gratitude for the kindness and empathy that saved her. This is not the story you think you know. It's the one Malala has been waiting to tell.

Finding My Way

Der Beginn einer bahnbrechenden Karriere: fotografische Entdeckungsreisen durch Indien und Pakistan

Der berühmte Modefotograf Frank Horvat (1928 - 2020) reiste im Alter von 25 Jahren nach Indien und Pakistan, nachdem er während des Zweiten Weltkriegs als ungarisch-jüdischer Flüchtling in der Schweiz indischen Soldaten begegnet war. Er verbrachte hier zwei Jahre. In dieser Zeit wurden seine ersten Fotografien in Europa und den USA veröffentlicht und markierten den Beginn seiner bahnbrechenden Karriere. Das Porträt einer Braut, das er 1952 in Pakistan aufgenommen hatte, wurde 1955 von Edward Steichen im New Yorker MoMA im Rahmen der Ausstellung The Family of Man präsentiert. Im Jahr 1962 unternahm Horvat erneut eine Reise nach Indien.
Dieses Buch präsentiert erstmals etwa 100 Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien dieser beiden Reisen nach Indien und Pakistan, auf denen er den großen Menschheitsthemen zu Beginn seiner außergewöhnlichen Karriere begegnete.

KIRKUS PRIZE FINALIST • A stunning new work from universally acclaimed Daniyal Mueenuddin, whose debut short story collection won the Story Prize and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize, the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. “The pages turn themselves. . . . This Is Where the Serpent Lives is a serious book that you’ll be hearing about again when the shortlists for the big literary prizes are announced.” —The New York Times Moving from Pakistan’s dazzling chaotic cities to its lawless feudal countryside, This Is Where the Serpent Lives powerfully evokes contemporary feudal Pakistan, following the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters whose lives are linked through violence and tragedy, triumph, and love. Orphaned as a little boy and fending for himself in the city streets, Yazid rises to a place of responsibility and respect in the Lahore household of Colonel Atar, a powerful industrialist and politician, only to find that position threatened by conflicting loyalties and misplaced trust. Born on Colonel Atar’s country estate to a poor gardener, Saqib is entrusted with the management of a pioneering business, but he overreaches and finds himself an outlaw, confronting the violence of the corrupt Punjab Police. The colonel’s son competes with his cherished brother for the love of a woman and discovers that her choice colors his life with unexpected darkness as well as light. In matters of power and money and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between paths that are moral and just and more worldly choices that allow them to survive in the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their culture. Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving, This Is Where the Serpent Lives is a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature.

This Is Where the Serpent Lives

Malala Yousafzai was just fifteen years old when she was shot in the head at point-blank range for daring to speak out against the Taliban and fight for her right to an education. In an instant, she became the most famous teenager in the world. Millions of people knew her name, but in the years that followed her shooting - as she became a Nobel laureate, a bestselling author, an Oxford graduate, a wife - she began to feel less and less sure that she really knew herself. Buckling under the weight of all her different identities (heroic schoolgirl, reckless college kid, good Pashtun daughter, overachieving academic, global activist icon), Malala realised she needed to figure out who it was she really wanted to be. That journey to self-discovery is the story of this book.

The Night I Borrowed Time

Wer hierzulande an Pakistan denkt, dem fällt zuerst der Islamismus oder sogar Terrorismus ein. Den gibt es - aber es gibt noch sehr viel mehr. Die religiöse Vielfalt, die auch andere muslimisch geprägte Gesellschaften ausmacht, ist in Pakistan besonders ausgeprägt, bis hin zu einem lebendigen "Volksislam", der viele Theologen verzweifeln lässt. Kaum irgendwo ist ein derart komplexes und vielfältiges Ineinander von religiösen, gesellschaftlichen und politischen Strömungen zu beobachten. Der Islam ist - besonders in Pakistan - kein fertiges Gebäude, das man bewohnen kann oder nicht. Er ist ein Prozess, eine Arena gesellschaftlicher und politischer Auseinandersetzungen. Er bedeutet Austausch, Konkurrenz und gegenseitige Beeinflussung. Und so können wir am Beispiel Pakistan vieles über "den Islam" und islamische Gesellschaften lernen, was allzu leicht übersehen wird. Illustriert mit zahlreichen Farbfotografien.
