Elisa Banfi Book order (chronological)

Dieses Buch bietet eine vergleichende Untersuchung islamischer Wohlfahrtsaktivitäten in städtischen Gebieten der Schweiz und Italiens, um zentrale Fragen zum Engagement islamischer Organisationen in Europa zu beleuchten. Es beschreibt die Struktur und Koordination islamischer Organisationen in Genf, Mailand, Rom und Zürich, vier Städten, die bislang in der Literatur über islamische Wohlfahrt nicht analysiert wurden. Zudem werden die institutionellen Möglichkeiten und Beschränkungen untersucht, die die Formen sozialer religiöser Aktivitäten auf lokaler und internationaler Ebene beeinflussen können. Dabei werden zwei selten miteinander verbundene Forschungsbereiche zusammengeführt: die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke und die Theorie politischer Möglichkeiten. Das Buch richtet sich an Soziologen, Anthropologen und Religionswissenschaftler, die sich mit der sozialen und politischen Integration von Muslimen in Europa sowie den sozialen Aktivitäten islamischer Organisationen in westlichen Ländern befassen. Die Kapitel umfassen eine Einführung, die Analyse des islamischen Wohlfahrtsaktivismus in Westeuropa, spezifische Untersuchungen zum soziokulturellen Aktivismus in Zürich, Rom, Genf und Mailand sowie eine intranationale und länderübergreifende Datenanalyse, gefolgt von einer Schlussfolgerung.

Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a delapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out... Until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.

Peter Novak, the legendary Hungarian immigrant and head of the Liberty Foundation, has been kidnapped and faces execution at the hands of terrorist extremists. It is up to Janson to rescue Novak before he is murdered. Janson immediately puts together a top team and manages the nearly impossible task of extricating Novak, but something goes horribly wrong - something that indicates the operation had been compromised from the start - and only Janson himself survives. Now the major intelligence services think that Janson was responsible for Novak's death and are sending their finest operatives after him...
