Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This illustrated introduction offers a fresh approach to the
history of the Islamic world from its origins to the present day.
Told in six chapters, arranged both chronologically and
thematically, and richly enhanced with outstanding images, it
provides an illuminating insight into the material culture produced
from West Africa to Southeast Asia through art and artefacts,
people and places. From pre-Islamic works that provided a
foundation for the arts of Islam to masterpieces produced under the
great empires and objects that continue to be made today, this
expansive survey traces the development of civilizations at the
forefront of philosophical and scientific ideas, artistic and
literary developments, and technological innovations, exploring a
wealth of cultural treasures along the way. Texts are accompanied
by a wide variety of objects, including architectural decoration,
ceramics, jewellery, metalwork, calligraphy, textiles, musical
instruments, coins, illustrated manuscripts, and modern and
contemporary art, all of which shed new light on the Islamic world
both past and present. This book will inspire and inform anyone
interested in one of the most influential and diverse cultures of
the world.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection
reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a
vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal
field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William
Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as
almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the
day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from
