Ahmed Amin Mohamed, German University in Cairo, Egypt'This landmark
book of readings on the subject of Islamic Business Ethics edited
by Professor Abbas Ali is a true gem. Unlike most volumes that are
edited, this Handbook reads like a truly integrated wholeness of
symmetry. The topics covered including those of individual rights,
marketing ethics, and financial conduct are most germane in helping
to understand the international business arena. Professor Ali's
striking introduction to the topic - as well as the reflections of
the top scholars regarding the topic - make this book superb. I
highly recommend this treatise to executives and scholars and as
required reading in Business Ethics courses in both undergraduate
and graduate Schools of Business.' - Douglas M. McCabe, Georgetown
University, US 'An intriguing journey into an important subject
that is often neglected in the Muslim World. This collection
represents a perspective on business ethics necessary for scholars
and Muslim researchers to familiarize themselves with original
Islamic precepts in the marketplace. Indeed, this Handbook is a
must read and it is needed in a world where greed and material
gains have increasingly become a motivational factor.' -
Abdulrahman Al-Aali, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia The
Handbook of Research on Islamic Business Ethics is an essential
source for policymakers and researchers to gain an understanding of
pressing ethical issues in the Islamic business world. The primary
objective is to provide readers with an insight into the ethical
principles that govern Islamic business conduct. These principles
are articulated with a view to evaluating whether business actors
uphold their social responsibilities and are committed to ethical
values in their conduct. Exploring the interweaving relationship
between Islamic business ethics and the market, this Handbook
examines the critical role that ethics can play in ensuring that
business thrives. It offers theoretical perspectives on research
and goes beyond the conventional treatment of Islamic ethics. It
debates important market issues and asserts that social actors in
the Islamic business world should be cognisant of these issues so
as to behave in a moral and responsible manner. Implications for
researchers and for market conduct are illuminated. Readers wanting
to familiarize themselves with day-to-day Islamic business ethics
will find this Handbook an invaluable guide. Contributors: I.-ad-D.

Drawing on historical evidence and the Islamic instructions,
Sectarianism in Islam: Power, Tribalism and Commercial Interests
provides readers with the knowledge needed to recognize that
sectarianism is and has long been an effective instrument for
manipulation, endorsed and utilized by powerful players. The book
is a careful reflection on and exploration of a subject that has
fundamentally changed the course of action for various political
and ambitious actors. The book challenges readers to place events
in their historical and social contexts, without ignoring the
existing political maneuvers. Furthermore, it underscores the power
of the mind in the rise of Islamic civilization. The author
provides powerful arguments essential for understanding the
interplay of various actors who have exploited sectarianism to
enhance their positions and achieve their goals. Several
evolutionary stages of sectarianism are identified. Though tribal
conflicts took place before the inception of Islam, after the rise
of Islam rivals projected themselves as religiously motivated. In
recent years, two powerful players have espoused contradictory
allegiances, which have further divided the Muslim world. The book,
in fact, shows that the past and the present are alive and that
they profoundly shape the memories of various communities today,
and possibly for many decades to come. Sectarianism in Islam:
Power, Tribalism and Commercial Interests challenges you to let go
of common myths, assumptions and uninformed beliefs that have been
treated as given facts. The book addresses certain difficulties and
setbacks that are pressing social and political actors to shoulder
their responsibilities in the face of misconstruction and
destructive strategies that have led to tragic events. Indeed, the
book is not only a relevant work of scholarship, but it is also a
practical call to enhance civility in conduct and circumvent
pointless conflicts.
Microring/nanoring resonator is an interesting device that has
been widely studied and investigated by researchers from a variety
of specializations. This book begins with the basic background of
linear and nonlinear ring resonators. A novel design of nano device
known as a PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The use of the device
in the form of a PANDA in applications such as nanoelectronics,
measurement, communication, sensors, optical and quantum computing,
drug delivery, hybrid transistor and a new concept of electron-hole
pair is discussed in detail.
