Cookery / David Waines; Glossary; Bibliography; Index -- Robert Irwin's authoritative introduction to the 4th volume of The New Cambridge History of Islam offers a panoramic vision of Islamic culture from its origins to around 1800. The chapter, which highlights key developments and introduces some of Islam's most famous protagonists, paves the way for an extraordinarily varied collection of essays. The themes treated include religion and law, conversion, Islam's relationship with the natural world, governance and politics, caliphs and kings, philosophy, science, medicine, language, art, architecture, literature, music and even cookery. What emerges from this rich collection, written by an international team of experts, is the diversity and dynamism of the societies which created this flourishing civilisation. -- The New Cambridge History of Islam offers a comprehensive history of Islamic civilisation, tracing its development from its beginnings in 7th century Arabia to its wide and varied presence in the globalised world of today. Under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad the Muslim community coalesced from a scattered, desert population and, following his death, emerged from Arabia to conquer an empire which, by the early 8th century, stretched from India in the east to Spain in the west. By the 18th century, despite political fragmentation, the Muslim world extended from West Africa to South East Asia. Today Muslims are also found in significant numbers in Europe and the Americas, and make up about one fifth of the world's population. To reflect this geographical distribution and the cultural, social and religious diversity of the peoples of the Muslim world, The New Cambridge History of Islam is divided into six volumes. Each volume begins with a panoramic introduction setting the scene for the ensuing chapters and examining relationships with adjacent civilisations., Books<
