Edward and Lane on European Union Law
'Faced with the challenge of studying EU law, students and other interested parties need guidance and accessible materials. Despite the ground clearing of the Lisbon Treaty, the terrain is still not properly mapped. Edward and Lane's completely rewritten book provides just what's needed. Clear, comprehensible and comprehensive, it will be an important port of call for anyone trying to figure out key aspects of the EU's ever burgeoning legal order.' - Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh, UK A comprehensively updated and expanded new edition of a classic text, this authoritative volume provides expert analysis on the key issues across all areas of European Union law - including its constitutional, procedural and substantive aspects. Importantly, the book incorporates the Treaty of Lisbon reorientation and immediate post-Lisbon developments. Throughout the book there is extensive reference to primary sources (Treaty, legislation, case law) and to issues of national adaptation which, together, bring a depth of understanding and analysis to this increasingly complex discipline.
Selections From The Kur'an
There are several translations of the Kur-an in several languages; but there are very few people who have the strength of mind to read any of them through. The chaotic arrangement and frequent repetitions, and the obscurity of the language, are sufficient to deter the most persistent reader, whilst the nature of a part of its contents renders the Kur-an unfit for a woman's eye. Yet there always has been a wish to know something about the sacred book of the Mohammadans, and it was with the design of satisfying this wish, whilst avoiding the weariness and the disgust which a complete perusal of the Kur-an must produce, that Mr. Lane arranged the 'Selections' which were published in 1843. In sp...
Description of Egypt
The launching of this hitherto unpublished book by the great nineteenth-century British traveler Edward William Lane (1801-76), a name known to almost everyone in all the many fields of Middle East studies, is a major publishing event. Lane was the author of a number of highly influential works: An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians (1836), his translation of The Thousand and One Nights (1839-41), Selections from the Kur-an (1843), and the Arabic-English Lexicon (1863-93). Yet one of his greatest works was never published: after years of labor and despite an enthusiastic reception by the publishing firm of John Murray in 1831, publication of his first book, Descriptio...
Edward William Lane
Edward William Lane (1801-1876) was Britain's most renowned scholar of the modern Middle East. Possessed of artistic, scholarly, and literary talent, Lane travelled to Egypt in the early nineteenth century, when it was first opened to Western travellers, where he participated both in the development of orientalist studies and in the nascent discipline of Egyptology. Returning to Britain, he published enormously influential works such as Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians (1836) and the monumental Arabic-English Lexicon (1863) - both continuously in print since their original publications - and a major translation of the Arabian Nights (1839).Lane's life was one of high ideals, goals, struggles against adversity, and great accomplishments intermixed with personal tragedy. Its story reveals many previously unknown aspects of Victorian and Egyptian life, and of the encounter between the two.
Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians
A pioneering work of cultural anthropology, E.W. Lane's study of Egyptian society has not been out of print since it was first issued in 1836. Immersing himself in Egyptian culture, Lane learned the Arabic language and adopted the Arab way of life. Written before the forces of innovation transformed Egypt, Manners and Customs is recognized for its wide-ranging scope of detail of daily life on AUTHOR BIO: Edward William Lane (1801-1875) was a distinguished English scholar of the Arab world who made voyages up the Nile in 1826 and 1827. Fascinated by Egyptian lives and customs, he traveled to Egypt frequently and lived in Cairo from 1833 to 1835, where h
