I realize that these are diverse in nature, but I do attend a liberal arts institution. Well, I have three matters that are not pressing in nature but rapidly will become important. I may have to return here after refining these. So, here we go:

1) Are there any places that you know of to which one could refer that would provide *lists* of some of the famous people involved with Islam?

2) I have no idea what I should investigate from the American Revolutionary War.

3) Could you suggest a book about a modern "jeremiad" against contemporary American consumer culture?

P.S. Many thanks in advance! You all do a wonderful service on the behalf of many! I give gratitude and appreciation toward you all!

A quick Google search for famous Muslims produced this comprehensive list.

For the Revolutionary War, why not investigate the people who opposed independence?

The best place to look for a book is your library.

You're welcome -- and thanks for the compliments.

Thank you for your kind words! I'll provide some guidance on how you can find answers to your questions:

1) To find lists of famous people involved with Islam, you can start by using reliable online sources such as reputable news websites, educational websites, or academic journals. Some possible sources to consider are Encyclopedia Britannica, Oxford Islamic Studies Online, Islamicity, or Muslim Heritage. You can search for "famous people in Islam" or "prominent Muslims in history" to find relevant lists. Additionally, you can consult books or resources specifically dedicated to Islamic history or biographies of influential figures in Islam.

2) Researching topics related to the American Revolutionary War can be fascinating. To decide what to investigate, it's important to consider your personal interests or any specific aspect of the war that intrigues you. Some potential areas to explore could include key battles, influential figures like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, the role of women or minorities in the war, diplomatic efforts during the revolution, or the impact of the war on different regions. Starting with a general search on a reliable website like the National Park Service's American Revolution website can provide a good introduction and lead you to more specialized resources.

3) If you're looking for a book that critiques contemporary American consumer culture, you could consider "Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic" by John de Graaf, David Wann, and Thomas H. Naylor. This book offers a critical assessment of consumerism and its effects on society. Another option is "No Logo" by Naomi Klein, which explores the power of brands and the impact of consumer culture on workers and communities. These are just a couple of examples, and there are many other books available on this topic. You can search for "books critiquing American consumer culture" or consult book review websites like Goodreads or Book Riot for further recommendations and reviews.

Remember, it's always beneficial to cross-reference information from different sources and to use reputable and scholarly publications whenever possible.
