Theory of Lyric Reading

How do we recognize a poem when we see

Contributions to a Discourse Theory of
Law & Democracy

OXFORD WORLD'S CLASSICS

✪ 146240 THE FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE 1453
Runciman, Steven
The classic account of the fall of Constantinople. To the Turks,

✪ 146112 FROM EMPATHY TO DENIAL: Arab
Responses to the Holocaust
Litvak, Meir & Ester Webman
Following the establishment of the state of Israel, Arab attitudes toward the Holocaust became entangled with broader

the wake of the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1948. 416pgs. • 2009

Meijer, Roel, ed.
"Salafism" and "jihadi-Salafism" have become significant
trends in contemporary Islamic thought, yet the West has

definition -- of these movements. Emphasizing the local and
global aspirations within the "Salafist method," this volume
highlights Salafism's inherent ambivalence and complexities.
