For all the attention to radical political Islam, there is little
awareness that the democratically elected government of Turkey has
an Islamic flavor. This book places within historical context the
rise of the Islamic political party now governing Turkey and
examines the implications of its rule for that country and its
relations with Europe, the United States and the Middle East.
Turkey is often cited as a model for Muslim countries; its
pro-western democracy an example that the clash of civilizations is
not inevitable. Yet the process of political and economic
liberalization has increased the appeal of political Islam. Jenkins
analyses the re-emergence of Islam as a political force in Turkey
and examines the repercussions.
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the
Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 146.Earth climate is uniquely
determined at any time by the varied interactions of its
components: lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere (ocean,
lakes and rivers) and cryosphere. Over the past 544 million years
(the Phanerozoic Eon), these components of the climate system have
undergone significant changes but perhaps none more extreme than in
the Proterozoic Era (2.5 G-544 Ma) With at least three periods with
low-latitude glacial deposits (during the Palaeoproterozoic and
Neoproterozoic), the cryosphere may have dominated the earth's
surface, possibly the only such event in earth's history. Indeed,
if the Earth had an obliquity similar to the present (23.45), then
low-latitude glaciation could represent a nearly ice- and
snow-covered globe. Effects would have been multiform: The
influence of the hydrosphere would have been at a minimum and most
living organisms would have been confined to small areas of open
ocean if they existed at all, or possibly near hydrothermal vents.
The atmosphere would have been very dry and nearly cloud-free.
