"Ayahku Harun Pamanku Musa" adalah tulisan reflektif terhadap kehidupan beberapa segmen kehidupan Rasulullah Muhammad. Berbeda dengan buku kisah sejarah yang lain, buku ini lebih banyak mengeksplorasi konteks sosial keagamaan, latar sebuah peristiwa, dan makna apa yang dapat dikontekstualisasikan dalam kehidupan di masa kini, baik dalam kehidupan personal, masayarakat, pekerjaan, bahkan berbangsa dan bernegara. Ahmad Fuady menuliskannya bukan sebagai buku sejarah, hadits, apalagi fikih. Ia menuliskannya dalam rentang yang lebar, sekaligus menusuk. Di banyak bagian, buku ini mengajak pembaca untuk menapak jalan ke dalam diri sendiri, bersikap kritis terhadap jiwa sendiri, sekaligus melebarkan pandangan sikap terhadap banyak hal dalam kehidupan. Dua kisah pembukanya, "Mencari Tongkat Musa" dan "Elektabilitas Thalut" mendorong pembaca untuk membelalakkan mata dan bersiap dengan hidangan kisah dari mula wahyu turun kepada Rasulullah Muhammad hingga kemenangannya kembali di Fathu Mekkah.

Mohammad Al Ghazoli was raised a Muslim. But the more he read the ancient literature of Islam, the more convinced he became that Allah could not be the True God. And the more he studied the life of Muhammad, the more obvious it became that Muhammad was not God's prophet. Then one day, someone placed a Bible in his hands and said, "Read." Soon Ghazoli had found the True God, and forgiveness through His Son. This book isn't just Ghazoli's testimony. It is much more than that. It contains the facts from the literature of Islam that shows why Allah can't possibly be the True God. It gives proof from Islam itself that whenever Muhammad wanted more wives, or riches, or when he had a problem, Gabriel was always standing by, ready to give another verse to exempt Muhammad from the law and morality. How convenient! Many of the stories in the book will be unfamiliar to the Western reader, but very familiar to Muslims. It is this inside view of things that makes the book so powerful as a witnessing tool for Muslims. Over and over again, Ghazoli asks, Is this the behavior of a prophet who was sent by God? What kind of god would send a prophet like that? The arguments contained in this book will give you powerful evidence you can show to Muslims you may try to witness to. Because it is written by a respected Arab writer, who was an advisor to the Arab league and even to Libyan ruler Qhadaffi, you can give the book to a Muslim and tell him, "Read." Learn about: The 220 contradictions in the Quran. Verses which reverse and replace prior verses. Did Allah make a mistake? The verses used to justify terrorism. Even the Quran admits Jesus was crucified! Then it denies it. Muhammad's 23 marriages, including one to a little girl.

This new book features a facsimile of the 1507 World Map by Martin Waldseemuller - the first map ever to display the name America - and tells the fascinating story behind its creation in 16th-century France and rediscovery 300 years later in the library of Wolfegg Castle, Germany, in 1901. It also includes a completely new translation and commentary to Martin Waldseemuller and Matthias Ringmann's seminal cartographic text, the Cosmographiae Introductio, which originally accompanied the World Map. John Hessler considers answers to some of the key questions raised by the map's representation of the New World, including "How was it possible for a small group of cartographers to have produced a view of the world so radical for its time and so close to the one we recognize today?"; and "What evidence did they possess to show the existence of the Pacific Ocean when neither Vasco Nunez de Balboa nor Ferdinand Magellan had yet reached it'." There are no easy answers, and yet, as this fascinating book reveals, this group of unknowns created some of the most important maps in the history of cartography, and afford us a glimpse into an age when accepted scientific and geographic principles fell away, spawning the birth of modernity.
