A Mysterious Universe
A Mysterious Universe introduces the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, theory of relativity, and cosmology to a novice in simple language.

Here he goes one step further and introduces these ideas to someone with no prior knowledge of physics and mathematics. In the first part of the book, topics like the wave-particle...
Revolutionary Melodrama
Revolutionary Melodrama explores intersections between cinema and politics during the Nasser era, a period in which a military regime embarked upon the construction of a new civic identity for an independent Egypt. The way in which filmmakers participated in this venture provides the focal point, with their cultural production as the central texts which both shaped and were shaped by an emerging sense of a new Egypt. With the blessing of a "revolutionary" regime, filmmakers began to explore issues of social inequity, colonial and feudal exploitation, changing gender roles, religious and cultural traditions and, finally, the disappointments of the revolutionary project itself. No realm of cul...

The Other Iraq
The Other Iraq challenges the notion that Iraq has always been a totalitarian, artificial state, torn by sectarian violence. Chronicling the rise of the Iraqi public sphere from 1921 to 1958, this enlightening work reveals that the Iraqi intellectual field was always more democratic and pluralistic than historians have tended to believe. Orit Bashkin demonstrates how Sunni, Shi'i, and Kurdish intellectuals effectively created hyphenated Iraqi identities, connoting pride in their individual heritages while simultaneously appropriating and integrating ideas and narratives of Arab and Iraqi nationalism. Illustrating three developmental stages of Iraqi intellectual history, she follows Iraqi intellectuals' changing roles, from agents of democracy, to specialists who analyze the population, to deeply entrenched members of society committed to change. Based on previously unexplored material, this eye-opening work has significant contemporary implications.
The Islamic Welfare State
The Islamic Welfare State explains the relationship between lived Islam, everyday human security, and government legitimacy in an Islamic society. Readers see the frequent abuse of Islamic injunctions by government and political parties. But readers also see the essential humanitarian spirit that makes Islam a compelling, community-strengthening faith. Readers appreciate how the humanitarian moral sentiments of Islam both provides everyday human security to millions of people and challenges legitimacy of government by allowing government to focus on protecting Islam rather than providing for the citizenry. The focus is on ground realities, on social welfare workers, and their beneficiaries, mostly patients and students from low-income families, their activities and experiences. The attention to affective politics permits the reader to understand politics and political change in Pakistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world.
