Muslims in Medieval Italy
Muslims in Medieval Italy: The Colony at Lucera is the history of a Muslim colony in the southern Italian city of Lucera during the Middle Ages. Author Julie Taylor draws on a vast array of primary sources, unpublished manuscripts, and archeological data to provide a detailed account of the lives of Muslims against the backdrop of the social and political complexities of medieval Lucera. Taylor's work illuminates the legal and social status of Muslims in Christendom and the contributions made by Muslims to the economy and defense of the kingdom of Sicily, and it also yields noteworthy insights into Muslim-Christian relations. Muslims in Medieval Italy is a thoroughly researched and absorbing account.

This history of the University of Manchester takes the story from the centenary of Owens College in 1951, to the introduction of the new Charter in 1973. It provides a frank and entertaining account of the University's attempts to meet the government's demands for the rapid expansion of higher education in the 1950s and 1960s, looking at the University's ambitious building program, controversial attempts to reform its constitution, and its accommodation to students' and younger academics' questioning of hierarchical principles and paternalistic attitudes.
