Life's Voyage

"A parade of luminaries marches through Maury Atkin's fascinating memoir. We meet Israeli president Chaim Weizmann, Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kolleck, and the economist Robert Nathan, not to mention a slew of alligators. But it is Atkin's own story that truly lights up the book, a life devoted to the Zionist dream. Then again, to paraphrase Herzl, if Maury Atkin wills it, it is not a dream. / Franklin Foer"-- Back cover.

The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State

"Noah Feldman tells the story behind the increasingly popular call for the establishment of the sharia--the law of the traditional Islamic state--in the modern Muslim world. Feldman goes back to the roots of classical Islamic law, under which executive power was balanced by the scholars who interpreted and administered the sharia. That balance was destroyed under Ottoman rule, resulting in the unchecked executive dominance that continues to distort politics in so many Muslim states. Feldman argues that a modern Islamic state could provide political and legal justice to today's Muslims through sharia--but only if new institutions emerge that restore this constitutional balance of power. In a new introduction, Feldman discusses developments in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and other Muslim-majority countries since the Arab Spring and describes how Islamists must meet the challenge of balance if the new Islamic states are to succeed."--P. [4] of cover.
