This reader-friendly and competent book can provide readers the essentials of the Atmosphere and Ocean in a short period of time through a simple approach.

Drawing on a critical sociology of knowledge and a profound understanding of historical contexts, the central focus is on Muslim intellectuals who have grappled with the impact of modernity in these societies, between those seeking to reform Islam’s role and those who take a hardline de...
