Unveiling Islam
Alone among the world's religions, Islam is not just surviving but flourishing. Yet many people know little about Islam and regard its continuing attraction as something of a mystery. In this book, Du Pasquier, an award-winning Swiss journalist, provides a thorough introduction to Muslim belief, history and culture. He deals not only with topical issues, such as 'fundamentalism' and the status of Muslim women, but provides an overview of the Qur'an, the Prophet, Islamic history, and the nature of Muslim art and literature. Unbiased yet passionate, the book offers an 'unveiling' which must be heeded if the present mutual incomprehension between East and West is to be overcome.
Le chemin de la Mecque
" Si l'eau d'un étang reste immobile, elle devient stagnante, boueuse et fétide ; elle ne reste claire que si elle remue et coule. IL en est de même de l'homme qui voyage " dit un proverbe arabe. Ce n'est pas tant la soif d'action qui anime Muhammad Asad que le désir d'aller à la rencontre de lui-même. Au terme de son voyage, il aura gagné un monde nouveau contre un ancien qu'il n'a jamais possédé. C'est là le sens de " ses errances " qui ne sont en réalité que l'accompagnement d'une aventure intérieure. Combattre avec les guérilleros en lutte pour leurs libertés lui est aussi nécessaire que prier. Car Asad est un mystique. Et son livre est une extraordinaire autobiographie s...

Tibetan Border Worlds
The focus of the study is the Tibetan and Tibetanized border populations in the little known Himalayan high-valley of Nyishang in West Central Nepal close to the Tibetan border. There, a group of traders have greatly extended their external relations over the past century in the form of long-distance trade ventures, thereby thoroughly changing the internal conditions of socio-economic organizations in their home district. The object of the study is to establish whether larger geohistorical processes of structural change may be conceptualized in such a way as to link structuration at the level of the localized social group to the dynamics of the wider regional setting.
Yemen Endures
The war in Yemen is finally coming under scrutiny as the West considers its controversial dealings with Saudi Arabia.
Communicating during Humanitarian Medical Crises
The Promise and Perils of " Silence" or " Temoignage" During Humanitarian Crises provides readers with a nuanced study of what happens when historical and 21st century medical humanitarian communities, armed with their idealistic rhetorics, choose whether to speak out or remain silent during various military or medical crises. The author uses a series of case studies from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century to illustrate the politicized nature of these decisions. Unlike some that focus on the prescriptive need to follow certain universal medical humanitarian principles during crises, this book highlights the precarious nature of what some scholars call “medical ad...
