Features of this exciting new book from 3rd Edition co-designer Monte Cook include 10 new prestige classes based on the Arcana Unearthed classes; dozens of new monsters; hundreds of new magic items that build on the new feats and spells in Arcana Unearthed; and the basics of the Malhavoc Handbook setting: the lands of the Diamond Throne.

A complete player's handbook, this guide welcomes players to the heroic combat action variation on fantasy roleplaying games that they have long wanted, but which no other book had previously delivered.

Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition RPG icon Monte Cook comes to Paizo with a new print edition of his popular Books of Experimental Might! Previously available only in electronic form and packed with hundreds of options and new rules meant to inject life into 3.5 fantasy RPG campaigns, Monte Cook's The Collected Book of Experimental Might combines The Book of Experimental Might and The Book of Experimental Might II: Bloody, Bold, and Resolute.

Did the noble order of the Knights Templar guard a secret about Jesus’ birth? Was the moon landing faked in a Hollywood movie studio? Is the government keeping the remains of an alien spacecraft in the top-secret Area 51? Monte Cook takes a look at conspiracy theories—ranging from the historically complex to the seriously whacked out. With a disbelieving eye, he traces the history of some of the world's weirdest ideas and even includes a chart showing readers how to make up conspiracy theories for themselves. Scattered through the book are the paranoid "notes" of an anonymous reader who claims to know what's really going on. You can make up your own mind as to who's telling the truth!

From the writing of her first book, Beyond the Veil: Male-Female Dynamics in Modern Muslim Society in 1975, Mernissi has sought to reclaim the ideological discourse on women and sexuality from the stranglehold of patriarchy. She critically examines the classical corpus of religious-juristic texts, including the Hadith, and reinterprets them from a feminist perspective. In her view, the Muslim ideal of the silent, passive, obedient woman has nothing to do with the authentic message of Islam. Rather, it is a construction of the 'ulama', the male jurists-theologians who manipulated and distorted the religious texts in order to preserve the patriarchal system. Mernissi's work explores the relationship between sexual ideology, gender identity, sociopolitical organization, and the status of women in Islam; her special focus, however, is Moroccan society and culture. As a feminist, her work represents an attempt to undermine the ideological and political systems that silence and oppress Muslim women.
