This book surveys secondary literature on the biggest questions
that have animated the field of Islamic law since its beginnings.
It offers scholars and graduate students a comprehensive and
authoritative state-of-the-art review of research in a particular
area.
This unparalleled Companion provides a comprehensive and
authoritative guide to Islamic law to all with an interest in this
increasingly relevant and developing field. The volume presents
classical Islamic law through a historiographical introduction to
and analysis of Western scholarship, while key debates about
hot-button issues in modern-day circumstances are also addressed.
In twenty-one chapters, distinguished authors offer an overview of
their particular specialty, reflect on past and current thinking,
and point to directions for future research. The Companion is
divided into four parts. The first offers an introduction to the
history of Islamic law as well as a discussion of how Western
scholarship and historiography have evolved over time. The second
part delves into the substance of Islamic law. Legal rules for the
areas of legal status, family law, socio-economic justice, penal
law, constitutional authority, and the law of war are all discussed
in this section. Part three examines the adaptation of Islamic law
in light of colonialism and the modern nation state as well as the
subsequent re-Islamization of national legal systems. The final
section presents contemporary debates on the role of Islamic law in
areas such as finance, the diaspora, modern governance, and medical
ethics, and the volume concludes by questioning the role of Sharia
law as a legal authority in the modern context. By outlining the
history of Islamic law through a linear study of research, this
collection is unique in its examination of past and present
scholarship and the lessons we can draw from this for the future.
It introduces scholars and students to the challenges posed in the
past, to the magnitude of milestones that were achieved in the
reinterpretation and revision of established ideas, and ultimately
to a thorough conceptual understanding of Islamic law.
This book will let you into the heart and soul of Paul Lynde. Best
remembered for outrageous jokes on The Hollywood Squares, as Uncle
Arthur from Bewitched, and as the frantic father in Bye Bye Birdie,
Paul was never satisfied with his career - or his personal life.
But even as he suffered through some of the cruelest of times, Paul
continued to make us forget our troubles, and was forever gracious
to his fans. This is the book those fans have been waiting for.
Though he was one of the most original, hilarious, and private
actor-comedians of all time, author Cathy Rudolph, his trusted
friend, reveals her adventures with Paul - along with his turbulent
life story. Here for the first time are interviews with his
relatives, personal notes, and never-before-published photos. Also
included are memories from his friends and peers including Cloris
Leachman, Chita Rivera, Florence Henderson, Kaye Ballard, Peter
Marshall, Les Roberts, Betty White, and many more. I've been saying
for forty years that Paul Lynde could deliver a punch line better
than any other comedian. I look forward to having the book on my
library shelf. - Les Roberts, novelist and first producer and head
writer of the original Hollywood Squares.
Rudolph Peters' book, first published in 2006, is about crimes and
their punishments as laid down in Islamic law. In recent years some
of the more fundamentalist regimes, such as those of Iran,
Pakistan, Sudan and the northern states of Nigeria have
reintroduced Islamic law in place of western criminal codes. Peters
gives a detailed account of the classical doctrine and traces the
enforcement of criminal law from the Ottoman period to the present
day. The accounts of actual cases which range from theft, banditry,
murder, fornication and apostasy shed light on the complexities of
the law, and the sensitivity and perspicacity of the qadis who
implemented it. This is the first single-authored account of both
the theory and practice of Islamic criminal law. It will be
invaluable for students, and scholars in the field, as well as for
professionals looking for comprehensive coverage of the topic.

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration
of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western
societies; in particular, it examines religions in their
differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural
systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is
given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a
clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical
data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the
religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or
media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their
construction of identity, and their relation to society and the
wider public are key issues of this series.

Das Thema Abwassertechnik gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung im
Umweltschutz. Dabei kommt der Prozessfuhrung von Klaranlagen ein
hoher Stellenwert zu: Eine optimale Prozessfuhrung wirkt sich nicht
nur auf das Reinigungsergebnis der Abwasser-Aufbereitung sondern
auch auf die dabei anfallenden Kosten entscheidend aus. Dieses Buch
ist von richtungweisender Aktualitat, weil es umweltoekonomische
Aspekte mit verfahrenstechnisch-wirtschaftlichen Erkenntnissen
verknupft. Der technisch orientierte Leser findet neben einer
umfassenden und aktuellen Darstellung der Grundlagen eine Fulle
neuartiger Ideen, insbesondere zur Leistungssteigerung vorhandener
Anlagen. Dem oekonomisch interessierten Leser wird ein UEberblick
uber die Anwendung von Operations Research im Rahmen
siedlungswasserwirtschaftlicher Fragen gegeben. Ein Anhang bietet
empirische Kostenfunktionen, und die Formulierungen fur die
mathematische Beschreibung des Reinigungsverlaufs in den
verschiedenen Reinigungsstufen, um die Auswirkungen geplanter
Massnahmen abschatzen zu koennen.
