A Times Higher Education Book of the Year Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, and elsewhere, protesters flooded the streets and the media, voicing dissent through slogans, graffiti, puppetry, videos, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them. Investigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. “A deep dive into the cultural politics of the Arab uprisings...Kraidy’s sharp insights and rich descriptions of a new Arab generation’s irrepressible creative urges will amply reward the effort. Reading Kraidy’s accounts of the politically charted cultural gambits of wired Arab youth rekindles some of the seemingly lost spirit of the early days of the Arab uprisings and offers hope for the future.” —Marc Lynch, Washington Post “The Naked Blogger of Cairo is a superb and important work not just for scholars but for anyone who cares about the relationships between art, the body, and revolution.” —Hans Rollman, PopMatters

When it comes to the Bible, you have no idea what you don't really know. For ages, misconceptions about what it supposedly says and signifies have been passed down, repeated, and taken as Gospel. Now, for true believers and skeptics alike, Christian author J. Stephen Lang dispels common misunderstandings, shatters the inventions of modern translator, and corrects misguided assumptions by going to the source: the Bible itself.

This book represents the reality of the hell, which is really existing. The Pastor Sarah Seoh visited hell many times and tells us very surprising things. First of all, she saw not only non-Christians but also Christians in hell. Second of all, she saw many Christians outside the Jerusalem City in heaven where it is different from hell. She explains why Christians are in hell with the verses in the Bible. The Bible tells us that Christians go to hell if they sin repeatedly without repentance to death even though they believed in Jesus. Jesus said if your hand and foot makes you sin, cut off your hand; otherwise, you will be thrown into hell (Mark 9:43-49). She finds everything in the Bible that Jesus told us exactly happens in hell and warns us to live holy life according to the words of God in the Bible. She says that the reason why she wrote the book of hell is for even one soul not to go to hell with the heart of God.

In 1884, when Albert O. Marshall published Army Life, a memoir of his service as a private in the Thirty-Third Illinois Regiment, twenty years had passed since his 1864 discharge. Marshall left the journal untouched at publication, and today it is a journal that is rare in what it is not. This memoir is not a complete story of the Thirty-Third (known as the “Normal Regiment” because many of its soldiers were from Illinois State Normal University), nor is it a complete roster of regiment members, nor a list of killed and wounded. Army Life is not, even, a purely military account written from an officer’s point of view. It is the story of a twenty-year-old private whose engaging writing belies his age but also allows his youth to shine through. Marshall tells of the battles he fought and the games he played, of his friends, fellow soldiers, and officers, and of the regiment’s activities in Missouri and Arkansas, at Vicksburg, and in Louisiana and on the Texas Gulf Coast. Enhanced with careful editing and thorough annotations, this journal Marshall carried faithfully to every mustering out is a rich and important Civil War memoir.
