My mother complains that the world, her world, spins when she closes her eyes. But to the world my mother appears serene. She remains the liege and mistress of her voice, which is even and doesn’t stoop to whispers.

My mother complains that the world, her world, spins when she closes her eyes. I thought Claude might be more stoical, made, as he might say, of sterner stuff.

Israel-Palestine in a Nutshell is, in fact, two books in on. It concludes by navigating readers through the series of peace treaties beginning in Camp David and ending with the latest 2003 Geneva proposal.

Nutshell" took on a new meaning after the singer Layne Staley died tragically in 2002. I thought I read that in a guitar world somewhere, metallica was in the front row, and it was after everyone was giving them grief for cutting their hair. When you listen to this song today, it's difficult not to think about his death, and lines like "I'd feel better dead" are positively chilling. This ballad was never a single and it sounds unlike their popular works from this period, but it touched a nerve with fans and remains one of their most famous tunes. Alice in Chains play it at most every show, and it's a great tribute to the spirit and resolve of Staley.

Title: Nutshell : a novel, Ian McEwan. Also, when my mother and Claude meet, they occasionally discuss the state of the world, usually in terms of lament, even as they scheme to make it worse. New York : Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, Oh God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space-were it not that I have bad dreams. Lodged where I am, nothing to do but grow my body and mind, I take in everything, even the trivia-of which there is much. For Claude is a man who prefers to repeat himself.

My family and I have started watching this new series on Netflix. I read her book (The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up) a few years ago so I have already adopted a few of her methods. It’s great inspiration for anyone who needs to declutter and reorganise their own homes.

The first edition of "Afghanistan in a Nutshell" was introduced in October 2001 -- only a month after the terrorist attack on U.S. cities. It was listed on the LA Times bestseller list soon after -- kicking off the growing Nutshell Notes book series (which also includes titles on Pakistan, Islam, Iraq and Israel-Palestine). A year later, a second edition was printed that included information on Hamid Karzai, the appointed head of Afghanistans interim government, and other updated information.

In 2004, the 3rd edition of "Afghanistan in a Nutshell" was published with short, easy-to-read chapters on the Taliban, Islam, Osama bin Laden and Afghanistans foreign relations (with Pakistan, Iran and the United States). The book also answers some of the basic questions about terrorism, opium, Afghan women, refugees, mines, oil, art and al Qaeda and navigates through Afghanistans recovery after the 2001 war with the United States.


Reviews about Afghanistan in a Nutshell (Nutshell Notes Series) (The World in a Nutshell) (2):
Vrion
A great guide for anyone who wants background information on a volatile country ... This book is a well-rounded assembly of facts, timelines, definitions, and general information that covers an array of topics from the origin of Muslim influence in Afghanistan, to the current state of the Taliban rule and its affects on its people. We also get background information on Osama Bin Laden leading up to and following his declaration of war on the United States. Overall, I give this book a very high rating. It both summarized what I've already learned about Afghanistan..., and has also given me a broader understanding of the region and its history.

I found the book to be a useful overview of Afghanistan history in under 100 pages. Because any book is slightly outdated when it is published, some figures might be better downloaded from the internet, such as current population estimates. The historical background was very helpful in understanding recent events, and trends over the years.
