Classical Islam A History 600 A

Classical Islam A History 600 A

In a book written with the poignancy and beauty appropriate to its subject matter the author opens by reminding us that the essence of a society is in a sense identical with its history. Classical Islam also serves as a reminder that in the case of Islam despite its triumphs on the fields of battle telling its history is the only way open to us to render that essence accessible and show it from all sides. The work offers a grand narrative of a faith that offers an interpretation of the world a way of life and a style of thinking that goes far beyond institutional or political supports. The relevance of this historical perspective is beyond dispute. The period from 610 A. D. when Muhammad received his call until the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is known as the classical period of Islam. This was the period of the great expansion of Islam both as a political structure and as a religious and intellectual community. It established the base for the development of the high Islamic civilization of North Africa the Near East Persia and India as well as further expansion of the Islamic religious and intellectual community throughout the world. This book presents an authoritative history of the period written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject. Classical Islam examines the relationships both cultural and political between the Islamic world and the Mediterranean countries and India and elaborates on the economic social and intellectual factors and forces that shaped the Muslim world and molded its interactions with infidels. The work is written in a clear and direct narrative form emphasizing simultaneously the major intellectual trends and the political events and tendencies of the formative period in Islamic history that still resonates today. | Classical Islam A History 600 A

Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

If you are interested in becoming a better leader this book is a great place to start. Rather than using the familiar textbook approach leadership expert Robert Denhardt offers practical lessons drawn from a lively year-long correspondence with two (fictional) former students about their experiences in leadership. The letters explore the deeply personal issues these and other young and emerging leaders are facing – what the skills and personal qualities are that you need for contemporary leadership what will leadership mean to you and those you lead and even why or why not you might want to become a leader. Along the way the book speaks to the big picture arguing that leadership today has been stripped of its historic contribution to creating meaningful human experience and has been reduced to a technical exercise in executive management. Based on his experience of teaching leadership to thousands of undergraduates graduate students and advanced practitioners Denhardt speaks person-to-person with young leaders about their questions and their concerns as they enter into the somewhat flawed world of leadership today. The result is a call for a new leadership for a new generation. This book will be valuable to students enrolled in regular and executive degree programs in leadership business management public administration nonprofit management educational administration and many other fields. It also speaks to young leaders out of school but committed to enhancing their leadership. Indeed readers of all ages will learn lessons relevant to their own professional development. | Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

Is There a God? A Debate

Is There a God? A Debate

Bertrand Russell famously quipped that he didn’t believe in God for the same reason that he didn’t believe in a teapot in orbit between the earth and Mars: it is a bizarre assertion for which no evidence can be provided. Is belief in God really like belief in Russell’s teapot? Kenneth L. Pearce argues that God is no teapot. God is a real answer to the deepest question of all: why is there something rather than nothing? Graham Oppy argues that we should believe that there are none but natural causal entities with none but natural causal properties—and hence should believe that there are no gods. Beginning from this basic disagreement the authors proceed to discuss and debate a wide range of philosophical questions including questions about explanation necessity rationality religious experience mathematical objects the foundations of ethics and the methodology of philosophy. Each author first presents his own side and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments section summaries bolded key terms and principles a glossary and annotated reading lists. In the volume foreword Helen De Cruz calls the debate both edifying and a joy and sums up what’s at stake: Here you have two carefully formulated positive proposals for worldviews that explain all that is: classical theism or naturalistic atheism. You can follow along with the authors and deliberate: which one do you find more plausible? Though written with beginning students in mind this debate will be of interest to philosophers at all levels and to anyone who values careful rational thought about the nature of reality and our place in it. | Is There a God?

Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England

Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England

Who becomes homeless? Why? What stresses and strains do these people face? Does losing a home provoke other problems or is it a sequel to them? How far do government policies and provisions go towards meeting the needs of the homeless? What changes would be desirable? To what extent is homelessness due to housing shortages? Originally published in 1971 these and other questions are tackled in this study of the development of services for the homeless. It is based on detailed investigation of provisions in South Wales and the West Country and is a study of the lives of over 500 families who at some stage since 1963 had lost their homes. Hitherto studies of homelessness had been restricted to London or other big urban centres. The questions posed and answered here are much more general and relevant to all parts of the country at the time. Information for the survey came from the records kept in Local Authority Welfare Children’s Health and Housing Departments the Probation and After-Care Service local offices of the Department of Health and Social Security and many voluntary organizations. The findings suggest that in the areas studied homelessness was worse than anticipated and that its demands on the social services were similar in range but different in order of priority from those in the metropolis. Poor housing conditions remain an important feature reinforced by unhelpful attitudes in housing management. Housing shortages are important for large families and those who cannot be self-dependent – more so than for others. Looming over the whole picture is homelessness resulting from broken marriages and family disputes with the attendant difficulties of unsupported motherhood poverty sickness and unemployment. | Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England
