Read Or Download Arabic Studies in the Netherlands: A Short History in Portraits, 1580-1950 by Arnoud Vrolijk Full Pages.
Arabic is the only living language to have been taught in Dutch higher education for more than four centuries. Practical usefulness, however, has been a prerequisite from the start. Knowledge of Arabic was to promote Dutch interests in the Muslim world, or to help refute Islam. As a cognate of Classical Hebrew, the study of Arabic served as an ancillary science to Biblical studies. Nevertheless, many Arabists such as Thomas Erpenius and Jacobus Golius rose to international distinction. With more than 110 colour illustrations from the Leiden Oriental collections, Arabic Studies in the Netherlands. A Short History in Portraits, 1580-1950 by Arnoud Vrolijk and Richard van Leeuwen will help the reader to gain insight into a fascinating aspect of Dutch intellectual history.

Read Or Download Unraveled: The Life and Death of a Garment by Maxine Bedat Full Pages.
In Unraveled, entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate Maxine B?dat follows the life of an American icon--a pair of jeans--to reveal what really happens to give us our clothes. We visit a Texas cotton farm figuring out how to thrive without relying on fertilizers that poison the earth. Inside dyeing and weaving factories in China, where chemicals that are banned in the West slosh on factory floors and drain into waterways used to irrigate local family farms. Sewing floors in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are crammed with women working for illegally low wages to produce garments as efficiently as machines. Back in America, our jeans get stowed, picked, and shipped out by Amazon warehouse workers pressed to be as quick as the robots primed to replace them. Finally, those jeans we had to have get sent to landfills--or, if they've been donated, shipped back around the world to Africa, where they're sold for pennies in secondhand markets or buried and burned in mountains of garbage.Unraveled is

Read Or Download Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman Full Pages.
Britt-Marie can?t stand mess. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. She is not one to judge others?no matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. It?s just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. But hidden inside the socially awkward, fussy busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams, and a warmer heart that anyone around her realizes. When Britt-Marie walks out on her cheating husband and has to fend for herself in the miserable backwater town of Borg?of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it?she finds work as the caretaker of a soon-to-be demolished recreation center. The fastidious Britt-Marie soon finds herself being drawn into the daily doings of her fellow citizens, an odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts. Most alarming of all, she?s given the impossible task of leading the supremely

Read Or Download He: Shorter Writings of Franz Kafka by Franz Kafka Full Pages.
A new selection of Franz Kafka?s shorter fiction and nonfiction work, selected and with a preface by Book of Numbers author Joshua Cohen.?Being asked to write about Kafka is like being asked to describe the Great Wall of China by someone who?s standing just next to it. The only honest thing to do is point.? ?Joshua Cohen, from his foreword to He: Shorter Writings of Franz KafkaThis is a Kafka emergency kit, a congregation of the brief, the minor works that are actually major. Joshua Cohen has produced a frame that refuses distinctions between what is a story, a letter, a workplace memo, and a diary entry, also including popular favorites like The Bucket Rider, The Penal Colony, and The Burrow. Here we see Kafka?s preoccupations in writing about animals, messiah variations, food, and exercise, each in his signature style.Cohen?s selection emphasizes the stately structure of utterly coherent logic within an utterly incoherent and illogical world, showing how Kafka harnessed the
