This book provides an in-depth exploration of various plant-based products that can be utilized as natural, non-toxic hair dyes. These dyes can be applied either individually or in combination, offering a range of options for those seeking natural hair coloring solutions. This book, the first in a series, is the result of an extensive, yearslong collaboration between New Yorker Dr. Claudia Erskine-Steele and Kolkatan Dr. Tathagato Dipankar Das. Their partnership brings together a unique blend of expertise, merging traditional South Asian herbal knowledge with contemporary scientific standards in the realm of hair healthcare. Claudia's expertise in hair science, the study of plants and their applications, complements Tathagato's deep understanding of traditional South Asian herbal practices. Together, they offer a comprehensive guide that not only highlights the benefits of using natural ingredients for hair dyeing but also ensures that these methods meet modern safety and efficacy standards. The book takes an objective look at the use of various herbs and plants in South Asian cultures for hair care, providing insights into their traditional applications and effectiveness. Importantly, the book underscores that these herbal alternatives are a perfect substitute for several cancer-causing chemicals commonly used in the hair dye industry. The natural dyes discussed in this book not only provide vibrant and lasting color but also prioritize the health and safety of the user, making them an ideal choice for those concerned about the potentially harmful effects of synthetic hair dye chemicals. You will not only find detailed descriptions of specific plants that can be used for hair color, but also practical guidance on how to prepare and apply these natural dyes at home. This makes it accessible to both novices and those experienced in DIY hair care. In essence, this book serves as a bridge between the ancient wisdom of South Asian herbal traditions and the rigorous demands of modern science, offering readers a valuable resource for safe, effective, and environmentally friendly hair dyeing alternatives.

No one knows for sure when henna was first used for skin decorating, but traces of henna have been found on mummies in Egypt and on cave painting in India dating back thousands of years. While this tradition is still widely used in India, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, it is now gaining popularity throughout the Western world as well. Rooted in the belief that those whose skin is adorned with henna are blessed with good fortune, henna is often associated with rights of passage—coming of age, marriage, and childbirth. Holidays and festivals are times when women and girls decorate their hands and feet, and henna patterns are sometimes unique to these occasions. In some cultures, a bridegroom may be decorated the night before a wedding as well. It is increasingly common for henna parties to be held in the United States, sometimes at weddings, birthday parties, and baby showers—and sometimes just for fun. Henna patterns are seen adorning pop icons like Madonna, Demi Moore, and Prince, and henna artists are becoming an increasingly common sight at street fairs and shops as a temporary and painless alternative to tattoos. Design motifs are included from many different cultures, with background information provided about the symbolism of the designs and motifs.

Beyond Darkness completes a trilogy tracing the blossoming of a woman’s identity and sexuality from childhood to middle age. Set in the 1980’s, it is the story of a mature woman who has just left her husband after thirty years of marriage. She has become a member of a Rajneesh commune in Sydney, Australia, and travels to the United States for a year where she comes to embrace independence and to accept her sexuality as natural instead of her previous feelings of shame and guilt. Her story is interleaved with the lives of her extended family and their attitudes towards her new outlook on life.

As someone who has a foot in both the Western and Arabic worlds, Amal set out to explore the lives of Arab women, in Australia and the Middle East, traveling to the region and interviewing more than 60 women about feminism, intimacy, love, sex and shame, trauma, war, religion, and culture. Beyond Veiled Clichés explores the similarities and differences experienced by these women in their daily lives--work, relationships, home and family life, friendships, the communities they live in, and more. Arab-Australian women are at the intersection--between Western ideals and Arab tradition. It can get messy, but there is also great beauty in the layers. In a time of racial tension and rising global fear around terrorism, there is a renewed fear of "the other." At its heart this fascinating book normalizes people and their experiences. The breadth, variety, and beauty of what Amal has discovered will enthrall and surprise you.

Hussein’s starkly beautiful novel Beyond Love plunges us into the 1991 Gulf War and its aftermath. Huda, the young woman at the center of the story, experiences the deprivation and humiliation of life in sanctioned Iraq, working in the satirically named al-Amal factory (factory of hope) making men’s underwear. While surveillance and fear permeate daily life, Huda dares to vote “no” in the referendum for Saddam Hussein. This courageous act could have led to her death had she not fled to the closest border, Jordan, where the novel begins. Huda is not alone: Iraqi exiles are legion there, all waiting to be relocated and start new lives. Unable to go home or to feel settled in a foreign city, she struggles to overcome her grief and haunting memories of the war and the Shi’ite uprising. In letters, diaries, and oral stories, Hussein’s characters viscerally portray the pain of war and the alienation of exile. Originally published in Arabic in 2003, Beyond Love introduces English-language readers to one of the leading voices in Iraqi fiction today.

The adrenaline-fueled, explosive conclusion to the Indranan War trilogy by K. B. Wagers. Gunrunner-turned-Empress Hail Bristol was dragged back to her home planet to take her rightful place in the palace. Her sisters and parents have been murdered, and the Indranan Empire is reeling from both treasonous plots and foreign invasion. Now, on the run from enemies on all fronts, Hail prepares to fight a full-scale war for her throne and her people, even as she struggles with the immense weight of the legacy thrust upon her. With the aid of a motley crew of allies old and new, she must return home to face off with the same powerful enemies who killed her family and aim to destroy everything and everyone she loves. Untangling a legacy of lies and restoring peace to Indrana will require an empress's wrath and a gunrunner's justice.

This book fills the gap in existing literature by exploring other forms of political discourses in non-Western rap music. Theoretically, it challenges and explores resistance, arguing towards the need for different epistemological frameworks in which to look at narratives of cultural resistance in the Arabic-speaking world. Empirically, it provides an in-depth look at the politics of rap culture in Morocco. Rap Beyond Resistance bridges the humanities and social sciences in order to de-Westernize cultural studies, presenting the political narratives of the Moroccan rap scene beyond secular liberal meanings of resistance. By exploring what is political, this book brings light to a vibrant and varied rap scene diverse in its political discourses–with an emphasis on patriotism and postcolonial national identity–and uncovers different ways in which young artists are being political beyond ‘radical lyrics’.

Seattle police sergeant Lou Boldt is stunned when the local fire investigator presents him with frightening evidence in a series of fires that have occurred in the Seattle area. These white-hot fires burn so cleanly that even the ash disintegrates--leaving not a trace of its victims or any evidence of criminal activity. Only when Boldt is taunted by someone sending him pieces of melted green plastic--houses from a Monopoly board--does he realize that an arsonist is involving him in a deadly game.
