The first edition of A Brief History of Islam offered an absorbing history of Islam, accessible without being simplisitic. Starting with the life of Muhammad and the birth of Islamic ideals, it took the reader through Islam's phenomenal geographical expansion and cultural development, right up to the modern day. Throughout the book, representative events, characters and movements were chosen to highlight the key issues and involve the reader.This new, revised and expanded edition keeps the key elements from the first edition, but now includes new sections on the intrepretation and role of the Qur'an, the nature of Islamic spirituality, the importance of Islam outside the Middle Eastern world, and the role of women. The result is an unparalleled introduction to the complex and topical of Islam.

Human Motivation, originally published in 1987, offers a broad overview of theory and research from the perspective of a distinguished psychologist whose creative empirical studies of human motives span forty years. David McClelland describes methods for measuring motives, the development of motives out of natural incentives and the relationship of motives to emotions, to values and to performance under a variety of conditions. He examines four major motive systems - achievement, power, affiliation and avoidance - reviewing and evaluating research on how these motive systems affect behaviour. Scientific understanding of motives and their interaction, he argues, contributes to understanding of such diverse and important phenomena as the rise and fall of civilisations, the underlying causes of war, the rate of economic development, the nature of leadership, the reasons for authoritarian or democratic governing styles, the determinants of success in management and the factors responsible for health and illness. Students and instructors alike will find this book an exciting and readable presentation of the psychology of human motivation.
