He journeyed farther than his near contemporary Marco Polo, though
Muslim scholar Ibn Battuta (1304-c. 1377) is barely remembered at
all compared to that legendary traveler. But Battuta's story is
just as fascinating, as this 1829 translation of his diaries, by
British Orientalist REV. SAMUEL LEE (1783 -1852), demonstrates.
Embarking upon what would eventually be a 27-year pilgrimage,
Battuta traveled through East Africa, the Middle East, India,
China, and beyond, bringing him to most of the 14th-century Islamic
world. Rife with beautiful descriptions of the exotic peoples he
met and landscapes he saw, this little--known classic of medieval
literature will enthrall scholars of Islamic history and armchair
travelers alike.
The nine chapters in this book, along with a critical introduction,
address complex theological issues relating to structural
inequalities of our society, exacerbated by the experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Pastoral theology as an academic discipline is
not a value-free enterprise. This book strives to speak against all
forms of injustice and to advocate for those who suffer under
existing structural inequalities because such a liberative and
social transformative task constitutes the fundamental work of
pastoral theology. Each chapter in this book analyses how private
problems of individuals are occurring within the immediate world of
experience with public issues historically, socially, and
politically. As a whole, this book addresses racial injustice,
ableism, foster family care, and issues faced by Christian churches
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Pastoral
Theology.
Cardio-Hepatology: Connections Between Hepatic and Cardiovascular
Disease provides a direct relationship between the cardiac and
hepatic pathologies providing the link between the heart and liver
and showing how liver diseases predispose to impairment in heart
functioning and vice versa. Considering the growing number of
patients living (and living longer) with heart failure and/or
congenital heart disease, it is important to know when and how to
test for liver disease in this population, how to interpret
abnormal test results, and what management is appropriate. Coverage
includes what should be done for patients to limit, avoid, or
postpone the impairment in the liver functioning induced by heart
diseases and the impairment in the heart functioning induced by
liver diseases, on the basis of scientific-exposed evidence and
pathophysiology knowledge. This comprehensive, extended review of
the medical literature is perfect for researchers interested in the
connection between cardiology and hepatology as well as clinicians
making therapeutic decisions for patients suffering from heart or
liver chronic diseases.
