The book addresses the issues related to geoheritage and methodologies for the selection, inventory, assessment and preservation of geosites. It reviews the state of the art of geoheritage in Morocco, particularly in the Middle Atlas, in order to identify geosites with rare and unique geological features. The book presents a detailed study of lithostratigraphic and sedimentological heritage as geosites witnessing at different spatial and temporal scales the evolution and the str...

Violence and Social Transformation in Libya
Ten years after Libya descended into conflict, the contours of a new society are emerging. How has violence remade the country—what has happened to inter-community and inter-personal relations, to social hierarchies and elite composition? Which new groups, networks and identities have formed through conflict, and how has this transformed power structures, modes of capital accumulation and governance at the local and national levels? How has the violence contributed to create new communities, both inside the country and in exile? This volume brings together leading researchers, both foreign and Libyan, to examine the deep changes undergone by Libya’s society amid civil war. These transformations are bound to shape the country for decades to come, and will influence its relations with the outside world. By addressing neglected yet crucial aspects of social change amid violence, the contributors substantially broaden the picture of Libyan society beyond the current confines of scholarship, as well as enriching wider debates in Conflict Studies.
Global Geographical Heritage, Geoparks and Geotourism
This book explores the geographical, geomorphological, ecological, touristic and socioeconomic aspects of natural heritage, argues for the dynamic conservation of that heritage and explains its key characteristics, promotion, conservation and management to achieve sustainable development goals. Emerging concepts such as geodiversity, geographical heritage sites, geomonuments, geoparks and geotourism are increasingly being used by conservationists. At present, the development of geoparks is a major global theme involving the application of geosciences to promote the inclusive growth of society and the protection and conservation of our unique geoheritage. Currently, there are 147 UNESCO globa...
Volcanic Tourist Destinations
This comprehensive book addresses the pressing need for up-to-date literature on volcanic destinations (active and dormant) and their role in tourism worldwide in chapters and case studies. The book presents a balanced view about the volcano-based tourism sector worldwide and discusses important issues such as the different volcanic hazards, potential for disasters and accidents and safety recommendations for visitors. Individual chapters and case studies are contributed by a number of internationally based co-authors, with expertise in geology, risk management, environmental science and other relevant disciplines associated with volcanoes. Also covered are risk aspects of volcano tourism such as risk perception, risk management and public safety in volcanic environments. Discussions of the demand for volcano tourism, including geotourism and adventure tourism as well as some historical facts related to volcanoes, with case studies of interesting socio-cultural settings are included.
From Geoheritage to Geoparks
This unique book is dedicated to helping promote geoheritage, geoconservation, and geoparks in Africa and the Middle East. Local, regional, global and thematic case studies including a geoheritage toolkit are used to illustrate the scope and depth of geoheritage and highlight some current geoparks and aspiring candidates in Africa, the Middle East, China , Europe,and Australia. This special issue mainly consists of the proceedings of the First International Conference on Geoparks in Africa and Middle East (FICGAME) held in, El Jadida, Morocco in 2011. The conference, hosted by the Faculty of Sciences of Chouaib Doukkali University, was organized by the African Geoparks Network and the African Association of Women in Geosciences incollaboration with the UNESCO Cairo Office.
Geoheritage and Geotourism
Essays on aspects of the natural world, its heritage, and how best to preserve it. Europe's engagement from the late sixteenth century onwards in scientific Earth science inquiry has generated numerous and varied collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils, together with their associated archives, artworks and publications, forming a rich cultural geoheritage held in major private and especially royal and aristocratic collections, museums, universities, archives and libraries. The mines, quarries, geological structures, landforms, minerals, rocks and fossils - or geodiversity - that underpin these collections populate past and present-day Earth science literature. However, for too long their...
Index Islamicus
A bibliography of books and index of articles in periodicals on Islam and the Muslim world. Also includes reviews.
"Individual pieties" und "non-pieties"
"Die Gesellschaften Nordafrikas und des Nahen Ostens werden häufig pauschal als 'muslimische' Gesellschaften und als Teil der 'islamischen Welt' beschrieben, die Religion ('der Islam') wird dabei als zentrales Merkmal dieser Gesellschaften beschrieben, die das Leben in diesen Gesellschaften grundlegend strukturiert. Der vorliegende Text bestreitet zwar nicht, dass die Religion in den Gesellschaften Nordafrikas und des Nahen Ostens immer noch eine wichtige Rolle in vielen Lebensbereichen spielt, er argumentiert aber auch, dass die Religion in der Analyse dieser Gesellschaften immer wieder überbetont wird und übersehen wird, dass die Gesellschaften dieses Raums auch ganz anders gelesen werd...
Tunesien
Seit der Revolution 2010/2011, dem Sturz des Diktators Ben ʻAli und dem Ende der Einparteien-Herrschaft im Jahr 2011 sowie der Verabschiedung einer neuen demokratischen Verfassung im Jahr 2014 gilt Tunesien in der arabischen Welt als Ausnahmeland, als das einzige Land der Region, in welchem eine Zivilgesellschaft den Sieg über ein autokratisches System davontragen und behaupten konnte. Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich nicht nur mit der historischen Entwicklung Tunesiens seit dem Beginn tunesischer Reformen in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, sondern analysiert auch, wie sich im Kontext einer langen Reformtradition in der Kolonialzeit und seit der Unabhängigkeit die Herausbildung der tunesischen Zivilgesellschaft erklärt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei zum einen auf der Revolution des Jahres 2010/2011 und der Entwicklung eines demokratischen Tunesiens nach der Revolution. Zum anderen wird der Frage nachgegangen, warum die religiöse Opposition Tunesiens in Gestalt der "Nahḍa“ letztendlich bereit war, diese Entwicklung Tunesiens zu akzeptieren und mitzutragen.
