"Comprehensive", "authoritative" and "accessible" are also claimed for the book; and rightly so. The work focuses on the origins and evolution of Islamic political ideas and related subjects, covering central terms, concepts, personalities, movements, places, and schools of thought across Islamic history. It will be a worthy addition to our reference shelves. 收起
