As a new century begins, we find ourselves living in close proximity with people from a myriad of religious backgrounds The barricade that once existed - creating a vast cultural and religious chasm at the beginning of the last century, has been torn down. In it stead we live and work closely with people of different religious backgrounds. Many of our friends from the neighborhood we live in, the company we work at, and the recreational areas we frequent, are of the Jewish faith. We are comfortable in our friend's company until we receive that first invitation to an engagement party, a wedding, a Bar Mitzvah, a Bat Mitzah, a Bris, or God Forbid a funeral! Uneasiness seeps in as we ask ourselves the following set of questions: How do I act? What do I say? What do I wear? What kind of a gift do I give? What is kosher food? What exactly is it that I am being asked to attend? This book answers these questions to help you turn uncomfortable situations into pleasant experiences when dealing with your friend, your co-worker, your client and, as may sometimes be the case, a new family member. You will find this reference book both informative and entertaining..

Ben Marzan—Searching for meaning in his life, Marzan studies with The Imam and converts to a radical sect of Islam. He’s the perfect candidate for a terrorist—American-born, assimilated, and eager to embrace jihad.

Anatoly Shenko—A disaffected Russian scientist working in Siberia, Shenko is one of the world’s top experts on biological warfare. But his wife and son are in ill health and he’s in desperate need of money.

Abdul Saidadov—A former Chechen rebel, Saidadov aligns himself with al-Qaeda in hopes of spreading the message of Allah throughout the world.

Marzan, Shenko, and Saidadov, along with three other conspirators and the hierarchy of al-Qaeda, are part of a terrorist plot to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the United States. To keep America off balance, they are prepared to sow chaos in Chicago. Anthrax and smallpox are successfully disseminated throughout the city, and as Chicagoans die in ever-increasing numbers, the city soon learns that a nuclear bomb is next.

Will a young Chicago emergency room physician, a team of FBI agents, and the Chicago police be able to abort the coming attack?

The extent to which seventeenth-century aesthetics imbues the narrative of Alessandro Manzoni's nineteenth-century historical novel I Promessi sposi is examined in this book.
