Book Description
"I recommend this book to all those who are honestly struggling against bigotry and ignorance. This is a useful tool in the hands of truth seekers and peace makers." --Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed, National Director, Office for Interfaith & Community Alliances, Islamic Society of North America In the pages of Muhammad: The Story of a Prophet and Reformer, young readers will encounter a man very different from the figure often presented in Western popular culture. Drawing from biographies, the Quran, and hadith, Sarah Conover, co-author of Ayat Jamilah: Beautiful Signs: A Treasury of Islamic Wisdom for Children and Parents, relates the story of a radical prophet who challenged the rich and powerful, guided his community of followers through a dangerous time of persecution and exile, formed alliances with people of different beliefs, and preached "love for humanity what you love for yourself." Before he became one of the most venerated, and most misunderstood, religious leaders in history, Muhammad was an orphaned child and a shepherd. Written for readers 12 and up, and with a foreword by Eboo Patel, Muhammad: The Story of a Prophet and Reformer will educate and inspire youth and adults of all faiths.

Book Description
A thrilling, powerful and important story of a discovery that could change the world, that some would stop at nothing to keep hidden. Leading oncologist Dr Hannah Siekierkowski and her partner Lawrence McGlynn are visiting New Delhi for a conference, and enjoying a well-earned break. By chance, they meet Lawrence's old friend Toby and his passionate daughter Okki, a charity worker. She introduces them to the organisation Sanitation In Action, and its charismatic leader, the young Chinese philanthropist Jock Lee. An end to world poverty is more than just a dream for Jock. Through his charity connections and his fiancée Nisha's extraordinary scientific breakthrough, Jock has discovered a way to release 2.6 billion people from the imminent threat of death and disease. Caught up in their passion and energy, Hannah agrees to help present their project at a conference in Uppsala, Sweden. But with the discovery of a dead body, they begin to realise that someone will stop at nothing to prevent them from achieving Jock's dream. As the clock ticks down to the announcement, Hannah and Lawrence are drawn into a web of corporate greed, racial prejudice and a seething hatred of the new world order: a hatred that originates back in the Second World War, with even earlier links to Einstein's general theory of relativity. An urgent fast-paced thriller, about right and wrong, people versus profits, and the best of intentions pitted against the failings and greed of humanity, which fans of Robert Harris, John le Carre and Michael Cordy will love.--amazon.com.

Book Description
This report looks at the health effects of second-hand smoke, the justification for a ban on smoking in public places, what has been exempted under the Governments proposals and compliance issues. The Committee were surprised to find that Crown properties were exempted from the proposed legislation. It also disputes the Government's contention that an outright ban on smoking in all clubs and pubs would be unpopular and lead to problems of compliance. The Committee therefore recommends that the Government should introduce a comprehensive ban on smoking in all public places, including Crown property.
