    Drawing Influence

    Drawing Influence invites readers into a world where power meets personality. Acclaimed caricature artist Robin Schwartzman presents a vivid gallery of 21st-century icons—politicians, pop stars, cultural disruptors, and headline-makers. With bold exaggeration and sharp insight, she captures not just faces but character, charisma, and unforgettable quirks. Each page brims with narrative detail, turning caricature into commentary—art that speaks, teases, and sometimes stings.

    buckle up, prepare to laugh, and revel in these character studies

    The Trumpet Blast

    Religious prophecies anticipate a world redeemer, and this book reexamines Ṭáhirih—the Bábí movement’s heroic martyr—as a central herald of that advent. Through analysis of her symbolism of the “veil,” newly uncovered unpublished poetry, and authoritative writings of the Faith she died for, the author argues Ṭáhirih was more than a feminist icon. She is presented as the Trumpeter of the Day of Resurrection, lifting apocalyptic veils and announcing an imminent transformation of human civilization and the coming of the Promised One.

    beautifully highlights the life and station of Tahirih, a remarkable historical figure in religion and poetry
