Makdisi argues that sectarianism represented a deliberate mobilization of religious identities for political and social purposeshis study challenges those who have viewed sectarian violence as an islamic response to westernization or simply as a product of social and economic inequities among religious groupsthe religious violence of the nineteenth century, which culminated in sectarian mobilizations and massacres in , was a complex, multilayered, subaltern expression of modernization, he says, not a primordial reaction to itthe ottoman reform movement launched in and the growing european presence in the middle east contributed to the disintegration of the traditional lebanese social order based on a hierarchy that bridged religious differencesmakdisi's book is important to our understanding of lebanese society today, but it also makes a significant contribution to the discussion of the importance of religious discourse in the formation and dissolution of social and national identities in the modern worldsee oxfam website for delivery information read more condition good, some minor warping to front cover as can be seen in digital imageoxfam bookshop knutsford focusing on ottoman lebanon, ussama makdisi shows how sectarianism was a manifestation of modernity that transcended the physical boundaries of a particular countrymakdisi highlights how european colonialism and orientalism, with their emphasis on christian salvation and islamic despotism, and ottoman and local nationalisms each created and used narratives of sectarianism as foils to their own visions of modernity and to their own projects of colonial, imperial, and national development

In the end of time, the british theoretical physicist julian barbour describes the coming revolution in our understanding of the world: a quantum theory of the universe that brings together einstein's general theory of relativity, which denies the existence of a unique time, and quantum mechanics, which demands onealthough the laws of physics create a powerful impression that time is flowing, in fact there are only timeless 'nows'the heart of the book is the author's lucid description of how a world of stillness can appear to be teeming with motion: in this timeless world where all possible instants coexist, complex mathematical rules of quantum mechanics bind together a special selection of these instants in a coherent order that consciousness perceives as the flow of timefinally, in a lucid and eloquent epilogue, the author speculates on the philosophical implications of his theory: does free will exist? is time travel possible? how did the universe begin? where is heaven? does the denial of time make life meaningless? written with exceptional clarity and elegance, this profound and original work presents a dazzlingly powerful argument that all will be able to follow, but no-one with an interest in the workings of the universe will be able to ignorethis is the first full-length account of the crisis in our understanding that has enveloped quantum cosmologyunifying thinking that has never been brought together before in a book for the general reader, barbour reveals the true architecture of the universe and demonstrates how physics is coming up sharp against the extraordinary possibility that the sense of time passing emerges from a universe that is timelesssee oxfam website for delivery information read morebarbour believes that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the conflict between these two theories: that there is, quite literally, no time at alloxfam bookshop cheltenham time is an illusion
