This book documents the history of the Muslim community in the United States, and particularly in California, and the foundation and evolution of the Southern California Islamic Center. The associated digital archive was built in an ongoing project with the University of California, Los Angeles.This substantial work of social history analyses the Islamic Center's work from 1953 to 1977 as it tries to establish itself within the mosaic of Southern Californian society. The work of the Islamic Centre has hardly been documented in the literature, and the social history of the wider Muslim Community in the USA is arguably under-researched. This is a unique and important contribution, of interest to historians, social scientists and students of race and religion in America.

This book tells the story of the Tampa Bay 'Water Wars' including the people involved; lawyers and politicians; volunteers and activists; technicians and media. Each believed they served the public interest. But, which public? Whose interest? Failed water policy caused harm to tens of thousands of acres of wetlands and lakes. It reduced the value of homes located near the massive water wellfields that served Tampa Bay. Pumped harder during a severe and lengthy drought, the damage multiplied. Some blamed drought. Others blamed pumping.Stuck in a policy impasse, the conflict went to court and the court of public opinion.Beyond the transformation and turmoil at the time, the book shows how some 25 years later, battles persist, but only occasionally spilling into the public. Even though the actors have changed, the personalities are not that different. The people are different, as are the issues, but conflict persists. Changes in media have likewise changed engagement in public policy and access to information. There are books about water wars from the US and around the world. Many address the legal, technical, and political issues. This book provides an insider's view, with specific impacts to people and the environment including what was done to move beyond the war and what that looks like today.

This book traces the history of politics, healthcare, and nursing.

The study of the Books of Chronicles has focused in the past mainly on its literary relationship to Historical Books such as Samuel and Kings. Less attention was payed to its possible relationships to the priestly literature. Against this backdrop, this volume aims to examine the literary and socio-historical relationship between the Books of Chronicles and the priestly literature (in the Pentateuch and in Ezekiel).Since Chronicles and Pentateuch (and also Ezekiel) studies have been regarded as separate fields of study, we invited experts from both fields in order to open a space for fruitful discussions with each other. The contributions deal with connections and interactions between specific texts, ideas, and socio-historical contexts of the literary works, as well as with broad observations of the relationship between them.

The book explores the profound insights of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, an Islamic scholar, on the ecological crisis and its underlying causes. Nasr argues that the dominance of scientism, which prioritizes contemporary science as the sole source of knowledge, has led to a destructive relationship between humans and nature. He proposes that restoring the religious perspective is crucial for finding a lasting solution to the ecological problem.The book delves into Nasr's comprehensive body of work, covering diverse subjects such as Islamic philosophy, Islamic art, Islamic science, Sufism, and the ecological crisis. Nasr's approach advocates for a holistic and inclusive philosophy that draws inspiration from the perennial philosophy and the principles of Islam. He emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our spiritual heritage and rediscovering reverence for the natural world. The book also discusses the relevance and applicability of Nasr's ideas to non-Islamic cultures and societies.This is a unique study into the work of an important Islamic scholar and ecologist. The key audience includes scholars and researchers interested in Islamic philosophy, environmental ethics, and the intersection of religion and ecology.

I've spent my whole life avoiding touch. One brush of my skin against another person's, and suddenly I'm drowning in their thoughts, feelings, and memories. It's not just invasive-it's exhausting. This "gift" has made for a lonely existence, but at least I've managed to keep my sanity... and my secrets. Then I slipped up. One moment of weakness, one touch too many, and Prince Khalid saw what I could do. That single mistake changed everything. Now I'm trapped on his yacht, forced into an engagement I never agreed to, and thrust into a world of royal intrigue where my "gift" isn't just desired-it's demanded. They say desperate times call for desperate measures, but whatever Khalid has planned, I'm pretty sure it crosses every line I've ever drawn. With my freedom at stake and secrets lurking around every corner, I'm quickly learning that in this world of power and betrayal, I'm nothing but a pawn in their game. And the most dangerous move of all might be falling for the prince who kidnapped me.
