Book excerpt: The mining of diamonds, their trading mechanisms, their financial institutions, and, not least, their cultural expressions as luxury items have engaged the work of historians, economists, social scientists, and international relations experts. Based on previously unexamined historical documents found in archives in Belgium, England, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United States, this book is the first in English to tell the story of the formation of one of the world’s main strongholds of diamond production and trade in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s. The history of the diamond-cutting industry, characterized by a long-standing Jewish presence, is discussed as a social history embedded in the international political economy of its times; the genesis of the industry in Palestine is placed on a broad continuum within the geographic and economic dislocations of Dutch, Belgian, and German diamond-cutting centers. In providing a micro-historical and interdisciplinary perspective, the story of the diamond industry in Mandate Palestine proposes a more nuanced picture of the uncritical approach to the strict boundaries of ethnic-based occupational communities. This book unravels the Middle-eastern pattern of state intervention in the empowerment of private capital and recasts this craft culture’s inseparability from international politics during a period of war and transformation of empire.

Book excerpt: In addition to the Koran, the oral traditions relating to the Prophet Muhammad are the basis for both the practice and understanding of Islam. The Koran is considered to be the direct word of God, while most of the oral traditions are not. However, some have a special status and are considered Divine utterances.In this volume are 101 of these transmissions, collected by the great Sufi mystic and metaphysician Ibn 'Arabi, who died in Damascus in 1240. Regarded by him as authentic revelations from God through His Prophet, the collection ranges from the secrets of prayer to the hypocrisy of supposed believers, from the mysteries of the last day to God's infinite compassion and forgiveness, and to the paramount topics of Divine Love and Divine Unity. For Ibn 'Arabi and Sufi mystics of the past 1,500 years, these words have been the key to the door of mystical realization.But this modern version of Ibn 'Arabi's collection of oral traditions is more than a scholarly translation. It is a contemplative expansion by two contemporary Sufi teachers, Lex Hixon (Nur al-Jerrahi) and his spiritual successor, Fariha al-Jerrahi. Ibn 'Arabi himself wrote, All that is left to us by tradition is words. It is up to us to find out what they mean. In fresh, poetic language, and with their own mystical passion, Hixon and al-Jerrahi bring these sacred diamonds of the Islamic tradition to the modern seeker on the spiritual path to enlightenment.

With the De Beers diamond cartel in control of the world supply, Ngoc defies the cartel in her quest for a revolutionary mining discovery - a discovery that De Beers will do anything to suppress. A sinister Russian, a brilliant geologist, a rival tycoon and Ngoc's ambitious niece complicate Ngoc's risky bid to bypass the cartel.

In the process, he uncovers Ngoc's own painful secret, opening new possibilities for the Queen of Diamonds."

Book excerpt: This deep dive on the Texas Rangers by Jim Reeves, an award-winning, ex-sports columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, captures all the drama, humor, craziness and pathos. And tells how this journalist got his riveting stories. ''Few writers know baseball and people like Reeves, who has produced an intimate and entertaining recollection far removed from other grinding sports franchise histories. The Texas Rangers he portrays are humorous, heroic, and, quite often, heartbreakers. It's all here, from front office wheeling and dealing to zany clubhouse and press box moments; serious superstars to whimsical wannabes. In a word: Delightful.'' --Carlton Stowers, three-time Edgar Award winner and author of Oh Brother How They Played the Game'
