For the second half of a two-course sequence in Muslim history, Islamic Civilization, and religious studies courses on Islam.

 

The history of the predominantly Muslim world is examined within the context of world history. It examines political, economic, and broad cultural developments, as well as specifically religious ones. The themes of the book are tradition and adaptation: It examines the tensions between the desire of Muslims to maintain continuity with their legacy and their recognition of the need to adapt to changing conditions.

Is it important to you that your students leave your course with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Muslim world?

  • Second volume in a history of the Muslim world.  The first volume, A History of the Muslim World to 1405 (Prentice Hall, 2004) has received praise for its clarity of presentation and its inclusive approach.
  • A clear, straightforward presentation incorporates the latest scholarship in the history of Islam. The impact of the pivotal thirteenth and fourteenth centuries on Muslim history is given careful consideration.
  • Broad and  coverage extends beyond the Middle East to include the Muslim worlds of Southeast Asia, Africa, Central Asia, and other regions.
  • Extracts from primary sources provide students with a window into the period and culture being discussed.
  • Sixteen pages of color plates present a panoramic overview of Islamic architecture–from North America to Malaysia.
  • Numerous detailed maps provide geographic reference for the locations discussed in the text.
  • Glossary of key terms, charts, and timelines provide students with useful study tools.
