Systematic Development of a Curriculum for Library and Information Science Education Employing a Delphi Technique

"The purpose of the investigation was to research the future needs for education of library professionals in the digital era, and to identify an ideal curriculum, with special consideration given to the needs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), People's Republic of China (PRC) ...

The Koran in English

A Biography

The untold story of how the Arabic Qur'an became the English Koran For millions of Muslims, the Qur'an is sacred only in Arabic, the original Arabic in which it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century. To many Arab and non-Arab believers alike, the book literally defies translation, yet English translations are growing in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the remarkable story of the centuries-long quest to translate the Qur'an's lyrical verses—and to make English itself an Islamic language. A translation saga like no other, this panoramic book looks at cyber Korans, versions by feminist translators, and even a graphic Qur'an by the acclaimed visual artist Sandow Birk.

There is nothing like this book."--Jane Dammen McAuliffe, editor of the Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an "Bruce Lawrence's The "Koran" in English is a masterful reception history of the Muslim scripture.

America & Islam

Soundbites, Suicide Bombs and the Road to Donald Trump

Donald Trump's first term as the 45th President of the United States of America has shocked the world. His attitudes towards Islam became a key point of contention on the campaign trail, and in power Trump has continued his war of divisive words and deeds. Here, acclaimed journalist Lawrence Pintak scrutinizes America's relationship with Islam since its foundation. Casting Donald Trump as a symptom of decades of misunderstanding and demonization of the Islamic world, as well as a cause of future tensions, Pintak shows how and why America's relationship with the world's largest religion has been so fractious, damaging and self-defeating. Featuring unique interviews with victims and perpetrators of Trump's policies, as well as analysis of the media's role in inflaming debate, America & Islam seeks to provide a complete guide to the twin challenges of terrorism and the polarizing rhetoric that fuels it, and sketches out a future based on co-operation and the reassertion of democratic values.
