Families of Antrim, New Hampshire comprises the second half of W. R. Cochrane's centennial history of the town, in which the compiler endeavored to record the genealogy, however fragmentary, of every family born or associated with Antrim from 1777 to the time of the book's publication in 1880. Many of the genealogies, it should be noted, span the town's 100-year history to 1877 and/or are replete with biographical information on their subjects. Arranged alphabetically by surname, the sketches number nearly 1,000.

"This is the perfect handbook for deepening our understanding of both the incredible richness through time and the paradoxical present obtuseness of Islamic culture. Meddeb achieves this feat--how clear knowledge can disarm belligerent interpretations of a paradoxical faith--through his elegant and polyphonic use of Qu'ranic exegesis, advanced literary poetics, and a strong sense of democratic citizen politics, all of which are informed by a profound cosmopolitanism able to simultaneously draw on Ibn Arabi's eclectic sufism and Voltaire's secular intellect, among many other sources. A necessary exploration, a must read."--Pierre Joris, author of The University of California Book of North Afr...

Cet ouvrage encyclopédique illustre la complexité des rapports entre l’islam et le droit dans les pays arabes. Après une présentation des fondements du droit musulman et de son application en tout temps et en tout lieu, il analyse l’impact de la religion musulmane sur : – le droit de la famille et des successions : absence d’unité juridique, inégalité entre homme et femme, inégalité entre musulmans et non-musulmans ; – le droit pénal : sanctions, apostasie, éthique sexuelle, limites du sport et de la liberté artistique, interdits alimentaires et abattage rituel ; – le droit médical : avortement, limitation des naissances et planification familiale, clonage, mutilations sexuelles ; – le droit socio-économique : solidarité entre riches et pauvres, zakat et impôts, intérêts et banques, assurances, biens en commun, travail et éducation de la femme. Il explore en détail de multiples questions juridiques, morales et sociales qui préoccupent aujourd’hui non seulement les citoyens des pays arabes mais aussi les musulmans vivant en Occident.
