Oxford Islamic Studies is now available on our database page and also via remote access with a Canton Library Card. This allows one to explore the Qur'an by chapter or specific location, compare and contrast translations line by line, or find the context in a concordance for almost any word in the text. Included are articles on the historic development of Islam and biographies of major figures impacting it. Chaptered works such as John Esposito's "What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam" are a separate section. Primary source documents include editorial commentary and historic context for important events. Images and maps provide perspectives on global Islam and feature articles examine current events. Learning resources, thematic guides, lesson plans, bibliographies and glossaries are also available for instructors or students.- skrzynskie

"Father of African Literature" author Chinua Achebe dies at 82
Dr. Achebe, a Nigerian writer whose novel Things Fall Apart was one of the first African novels, famously said: “If you don't like someone's story, write your own.” He was also a bestselling poet and essayist, including his most recent book There was a Country published in 2012. A large part of his work wrestles with the conflict between traditional Nigerian culture and British colonialism and the legacy of that conflict. Before You Buy That Bunny
