PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

If Westerners know a single Islamic term, it is likely to be jihad, the Arabic word for "holy war." The image of Islam as an inherently aggressive and xenophobic religion has long prevailed in the West and can at times appear to be substantiated by current events. L. Carl Brown challenges this conventional wisdom with a fascinating historical overview of the relationship between religious and political life in the Muslim world ranging from Islam's early centuries to the present day. Religion and State examines the commonplace notion―held by both radical Muslim ideologues and various Western observers alike―that in Islam there is no separation between religion and politics. By placing this assertion in a broad historical context, the book reveals both the continuities between premodern and modern Islamic political thought as well as the distinctive dimensions of modern Muslim experiences. Brown shows that both the modern-day fundamentalists and their critics have it wrong when they posit an eternally militant, unchanging Islam outside of history. "They are conflating theology and history. They are confusing the oughtand the is," he writes. As the historical record shows, mainstream Muslim political thought in premodern times tended toward political quietism. Brown maintains that we can better understand present-day politics among Muslims by accepting the reality of their historical diversity while at the same time seeking to identify what may be distinctive in Muslim thought and action. In order to illuminate the distinguishing characteristics of Islam in relation to politics, Brown compares this religion with its two Semitic sisters, Judaism and Christianity, drawing striking comparisons between Islam today and Christianity during the Reformation. With a wealth of evidence, he recreates a tradition of Islamic diversity every bit as rich as that of Judaism and Christianity.

Technical and Military Imperatives: A Radar History of World War II is a coherent account of the history of radar in the second World War. Although many books have been written on the early days of radar and its role in the war, this book is by far the most comprehensive, covering ground, air, and sea operations in all theatres of World War II. The author manages to synthesize a vast amount of material in a highly readable, informative, and enjoyable way. Of special interest is extensive new material about the development and use of radar by Germany, Japan, Russia, and Great British. The story is told without undue technical complexity, so that the book is accessible to specialists and nonspecialists alike.

Designing and Developing Electronic Support Systems describes the EPSS concept, and provides a systematic process for creating these systems. An EPSS is a software context that integrates the support needed to perform a job task - information, software and expert advice - with the actual job task or tasks. EPSSs provide this support at the appropriate time and in the most appropriate format. As corporations cut their training budgets and realize the relevance of on the job support, there is growing acceptance of EPSS as an alternative to classroom-based training. ED4 (EPSS Define, Design, Develop and Deliver), a systematic approach to creating EPSS, is based on instructional systems methodology, and was used at Digital Equipment Corporation to create an EPSS 'workbench' for training consultants. This book describes ED4 and the process that the instructional designers and software engineers used to create the Learning Services Workbench. Interviews with EPSS designers and developers at Digital Equipment Corporation showed that EPSSs created using a systematic approach resulted in a creative, robust and job-relevant software product.
