Описание:
George Farquhar (1677-1707) is one of the most successful and enduringly popular Restoration playwrights. His two masterpieces, The Recruiting Officer and The Beaux' Stratagem, are still regularly performed today. Yet aspects of Farquhar's biography, and in particular his Irish roots and family life, have remained obscure. This is the first study to treat Farquhar's works as documents of migration and the fragmented identity that resulted. Told in reverse chronological order, beginning with Farquhar's last and best-known works, it reveals previously undiscovered material about his life and connections.
Born in Londonderry, Farquhar arrived in London at the end of the 1690s but struggled throughout his life to find acceptance in the English literary culture. David Roberts explores how Farquhar used comedy to negotiate his Anglo-Irish Protestant identity while perpetually being treated as an outsider. George Farquhar: A Migrant Life Reversed challenges traditional critical thinking on historiographic approaches to scholarly biography and offers a complex but highly readable account of the interpenetrating pasts, presents and futures of the migrant writer.

Описание: Even more successful than his popular `Recruiting officer`, the favourite - and hilarious - work of an Ulster playwright, nearly forgotten today but still a great read and drama.

Описание: A book about the lengths to which a kid will go to fit in in sixth grade, perfect for fans of See You in the Cosmos and Fish in a Tree. After a tornado tears the roof of the school cafeteria, and Itch's mother goes on a two-month business trip in China, Itch's sixth grade year begins badly--particularly because he can't do fractions. At least he has his job at the pheasant farm, and the guys at school and Sydney to hang out with when he's not working. But when trading school lunches goes wrong and Sydney gets rushed away in an ambulance, Itch thinks it's his fault. When you suddenly don't have any friends, would you do anything--even things that are wrong--to get them back? This novel by a debut author, set in the Ohio heartland, captures the issues and feelings of being in middle school in a warm, humorous, and above all, recognizable, way.

Описание:
The airline world has changed dramatically in the fifty-six years since I entered it. Some changes are for the better, but some are not so good. This book paints a picture of the airline world through my career. I have spent 26,000 hours at the controls of different aircraft. Many pilots who have flown the airlines will have had similar experiences. I make no attempt to be exclusive or comprehensive, but rather to offer a flavor of what this world was like. Most names here are true. Some have been changed or omitted to preserve the sensitivities of those involved. In a few cases, I must plead Winston Churchill's excuse, "that a gentleman never insults someone by accident."

Описание: New in tradepaper: New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley, one of today's most celebrated New Thought leaders, holds a conversation with a collective of intelligent beings--channeled by Tracy Farquhar--to shed light on a new era of expanded awareness and limitless possibilities. How are we doing as a civilization? Why are societies so deeply divided? What happened to the many advanced cultures that preceded ours? Are there sentient beings visiting us from other planets, and if so, why haven't they made themselves known? Is there a God like the one we've been taught to believe in? And how far might spirituality take us, or does science hold the key to progress? We all ask questions like these not even expecting answers--but what if answers existed? Would we recognize the truth once uncovered? Enter Frank: a collective of eight beings from a distant planet who know what we're going through because they've been there too. Their civilization, once beset by many of the same challenges we face, has now advanced to a point where they can offer an informed and compassionate perspective on our trials, tribulations, and triumphs here on Earth. Speaking to Mike Dooley, one of today's most celebrated New Thought leaders, with medium Tracy Farquhar serving as their channel, Frank answers questions about: - Life on Brahoshka, from culture, technology, and education to leisure pursuits, food supply, relationships... - Pressing earthly matters, from our political and social realities to the truth behind the Loch Ness Monster - The power of imagination, meditation, concentrated thought, divination, and prayer - The truth concerning angels, other dimensions, and what we can do to make a better world

Описание:
The Islamic University of Medina was established by the Saudi state in 1961 to provide religious instruction primarily to foreign students. Students would come to Medina for religious education and were then expected to act as missionaries, promoting an understanding of Islam in line with the core tenets of Wahhabism. By the early 2000s, more than 11,000 young men from across the globe had graduated from the Islamic University.
Circuits of Faith offers the first examination of the Islamic University and considers the efforts undertaken by Saudi actors and institutions to exert religious influence far beyond the kingdom's borders. Michael Farquhar draws on Arabic sources, including biographical materials, memoirs, syllabi, and back issues of the Islamic University journal, as well as interviews with former staff and students, to explore the institution's history and faculty, the content and style of instruction, and the trajectories and experiences of its students. Countering typical assumptions, Farquhar argues that the project undertaken through the Islamic University amounts to something more complex than just the one-way "export" of Wahhabism. Through transnational networks of students and faculty, this Saudi state-funded religious mission also relies upon, and has in turn been influenced by, far-reaching circulations of persons and ideas.
