Yale Nota Bene Islam: A Thousand Years of Faith and Power (Yale Nota Bene S.)
It's sometimes difficult for Westerners not to write off Islam as a fanatical religion for war-like fundamentalists in turbans. In <I>Islam: Empire of Faith</I>, Jonathan Bloom and Sheila Blair have written an excellent resource which knocks such media-conditioned prejudice on the head. As professors of Islamic and Asian art at Boston College, they are well placed to unlock the complex history and culture of Islam for Western readers. This book and the BBC documentary series it ties in with should work well to break down our bigotry by providing a fascinating and enlightening introduction to Islamic culture. The authors avoid the complex modern history of the Muslim world and focus on the origin and rise of Islam in the seventh and eighth centuries before dwelling on Islam's golden age between 750 and 1250. The third part of the book covers the age of empires from 1250 to the dawning of the 18th century. <p><I>Islam: Empire of Faith</I> covers the politics, wars and in-fighting which have been part of Islam from the beginning, but the authors' real passion is Islamic culture. The sections describing the flowering of Islamic art, learning, and literature are the strongest sections. Despite the wide cultural divide between modern day Islam and the West, the writers succeed in showing how much we owe to the high culture of Islam at its peak. With 30 pages of illustrations, maps and a complete index, this book is an attractive and necessary introduction to a culture and religion which will continue to challenge the Western world. <I>--Dwight Longenecker</I>

Yale University Press The Burdens of Sister Margaret: Inside a Seventeenth-century Convent (Yale Nota Bene S.)
<I>The Burdens of Sister Margaret</I> by Craig Harline is based on a trove of letters written by a 17th-century nun in a convent called Bethlehem in the city of Leuven (part of modern Belgium). Her fears of demonic possession, complaints of sexual harassment and suspicion of conspiracies against her among the other sisters led to her being twice banished from the convent. Set against the dramatic background of the early Reformation, <I>The Burdens of Sister Margaret</I> describes not only the daily lives of a community of nuns, but also the impact of the major events of the early Reformation on ordinary clergy and laity. Like Harline's extraordinary <I>A Bishop's Tale</I>, this book describes the grand sweep of history through the perspective of particular people in a particular place. Thus, readers are given a strong general orientation to the abiding tensions of Catholic religious (special friendships versus common love, dissent versus obedience, the rights of the individual versus the demands of the community, distinguishing between temporal needs and extravagance, and maintaining separation from the world while living within it). And readers also discover a wealth of concrete and compelling detail about the wily machinations of lives lived behind convent walls (the book's first section, How Just About Everyone Came to Loathe Sister Margaret, will frighten, tickle and fascinate). --<I>Michael Joseph Gross</I>

Yale University Press Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century (Yale Nota Bene)
An ominously dark cover reflects the mood for this sobering and intermittently brilliant appraisal of 20th-century morality or, to be fatuous, of men behaving very badly. Jonathan Glover, author of <I>Causing Death and Saving Lives</I>, argues that the 20th century has been less punctuated than characterised by atrocities because of rampant technology and the disappearance of an external moral force to guide people. Interweaving readable narrative with skilful analysis, Glover considers the major human disasters of the period, from the regimes of Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin and Pol Pot to its defining events. The two world wars, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam, Rwanda and Yugoslavia receive painstaking autopsies, culminating in an appraisal of Nazi Germany, which, though it slaughtered fewer people than Stalin's Soviet Union, and proportionately fewer than PolPot's Khmer Rouge, was unique in its ruthless use of the instrument of government to enforce its evil.<p> Glover's approach to history is based on anecdotal and eyewitness accounts, refreshingly clear of statistical marshland, and while he does not shy from unequivocal condemnation, he shows wise restraint in a volume that could as easily have been entitled Hindsight. Physical distance from battle leading to emotional detachment, distillation of Social Darwinism, positive hatred, brutalising removal of dignity to render the victim no more than an animal, cold jokes, lack of individual responsibility and the cult of tribalism are all identified as having contributed to a spirit of partisan malevolence to which, for Glover, the phrase never again is the only adequate ethical response. Where were the philosophers? runs the refrain of his battle-cry. Watching inactive and inadequate, like most of the rest of us, is the depressingly recurrent reply. The darkness is not unremitting; it is consciously entitled <I>Humanity</I>, and Glover is an optimist, albeit with grave concerns, who strives to highlight individual acts of kindness that transcend circumstance to offer hope for the future. After 10 years of research and writing, he has produced a stirringly intelligent and urgent lament for an arduous century, pockmarked by those who sought to dominate it, and unable to forget as selectively as it remembers. -- <I>David Vincent</I>

Yale Nota Bene Kosovo: War and Revenge (Yale Nota Bene S.)
Tim Judah lived in Belgrade from 1990-1995, reporting for the London <I>Times</I> and the <I>New York Review of Books</I>. When the ethnic cleansing started in Kosovo, he was there. So his <I>Kosovo: War and Revenge</I> is well placed to offer some insights, variously scathing and compassionate, on the whole sorry mess. It doesn't matter how many Serbian tanks you (allegedly) knock out with your high-tech bombing raids since the most potent weapon in ethnic cleansing is the cigarette-lighter needed to set houses on fire. Judah can evoke the madness of Kosovo in a single, startling set piece: vengeful Albanians rampaging through a Serbian Orthodox priest's house; smashing icons; stealing candles; French soldiers from KFOR looking on amiably; a nearby Gypsy house also on fire; and a passing French commander explaining to an open-mouthed Judah that the official NATO policy at this moment is to let them pillage. Paraphrasing a Belgrade journalist, he notes sadly that Serbia has still not found its Adenauer, nor Kosovo its Mandela, which is what both so desperately need. The introductory chapter summarising Kosovo's tortured and tortuous history, is better rendered in Noel Malcolm's <I>Kosovo: A Short History</I>, and, for a wider overview of the Balkans themselves, one would certainly prefer Misha Glenny's <I>The Balkans, 1804-1899</I>. But for an acerbic and perceptive personal account, Judah's book is hard to beat. --<I>Christopher Hart</I>

Yale Nota Bene Belief in God in an Age of Science (Yale Nota Bene S.)
<I>Belief in God in an Age of Science</I>, by the renowned theoretical physicist and theologian John Polkinghorne (a fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge), collects a series of lectures exploring the compatibility of science and theology. Polkinghorne's most interesting argument is that the two disciplines, which he calls intellectual cousins, exhibit a common concern with the attainment of understanding through the search for motivated belief. He describes this common concern by comparing the scientific investigation into the nature of light that led to the quantum theory with the theological investigation of the nature of Christ's being that led to the Chalcedonian Creed. Polkinghorne's prose is lucid throughout, and his broadminded rigor persuades readers that if reality is generously and adequately construed, then knowledge will be seen to be one; if rationality is generously and adequately construed, then science and theology will be seen as partners in a common quest for understanding. --<I>Michael Joseph Gross</I>

Yale University Press The Computer and the Brain (Yale Nota Bene S.)
Whether they think it's impossible or inevitable, most people have highly polarised views on artificial intelligence. John von Neumann, genius, mathematician and inventor of the nearly ubiquitous computer architecture bearing his name, blazed trails for both camps in <I>The Computer and the Brain</I>.<p>This short book, originally written for Yale's Silliman lectures but published posthumously, summarises his views on machine and biological intelligence with unprecedented clarity and precision. His understanding of neuroscience was that of a brilliant and strongly motivated amateur at the end of the 1950s, good enough to take on the problem but by no means matching his comprehension of the machines to which he had devoted much of his professional life. Still, his take on intracranial computation is stunningly prescient--he looks beyond the then-fashionable digital metaphors to suggest a semi-analogue strategy that uses parallel processing to make up for its deficiency in speed.<p>Prominent neuroscientific thinkers Paul M. Churchland and Patricia S. Churchland provide a brief, enlightening foreword to the second edition, placing the author's thinking in context and grounding the reader in the scientific milieu that gave rise to <I>The Computer and the Brain</I>. Though his computer architecture is slowly growing obsolete, von Neumann has given us a more lasting legacy in his thinking about thinking. --<I>Rob Lightner</I>

Yale University Press The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty (Yale Nota Bene S.)
In response to Ronald Reagan's famous question Are we better off than we were 40 years ago?, the answer would have to be materially yes, morally no, writes social psychologist David Myers. Therein lies the American paradox he continues. We now have, as average Americans, doubled real incomes and doubled what money buys. We have espresso coffee, the World Wide Web, sport utility vehicles and caller ID. And we have less happiness, more depression, more fragile relationships, less communal contentment, less vocational security, more crime (even after the recent decline), and more demoralized children.<p>Myers shuns the label of conservative or liberal, preferring to see himself as a social ecologist who abhors the dominance of material values. In fact, Myers is a visionary who asks important questions such as: why is marriage so difficult to maintain in our culture? Why are so many fathers abandoning families? Are rich people happier than poor people? What is the price we pay for radical individualism? He answers these questions with persuasive statistics and sound advice that cannot be neatly pigeonholed into one political camp or the other. As a result, this is an author with credibility, as he covers crucial chapters such as The Past and Future of Marriage, Money and Misery, Educating for a Moral Compass, and America's Children. --<I>Gail Hudson</I>

Yale Nota Bene Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia (Yale Nota Bene S.)
Every dog may have its day, but after over 20 years reporting from countries people barely knew, and cared about even less, correspondent Ahmed Rashid must have thought his had passed him by. <I>Jihad</I>, however, is the deeply impressive and instructive follow-up to his international bestseller <I>Taliban</I>, and in time could well prove equally influential, as in turning his sights to the desolate steppes of Central Asia, Rashid describes a region that harbours the potential to explode just as disastrously as its southern neighbour. Boundaried by rivers, mountains and desert, with a tolerant and liberal Islamic tradition, Rashid traces the region's history over the past two millennia, which included conquest by Alexander, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, and most recently tsarist and Soviet Russia. It was Stalin who divided up the former Turkestan into the five new countries--Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Takjikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan--indifferent to geographic or ethnic lines. After perestroika and the break-up of the Soviet Union, however, as with post-colonial Africa, the countries' new leaders merely exploited the structures of authoritarian oppression, leading to pan-Islamic underground movements such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, led by Juma Namangani, and the Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami.<p> Obviously, the events of September 11 have changed the gameplan significantly, and Rashid assesses their impact on the five countries, and the looming presence of Russia, China and the USA, all jostling for military and economic advantage behind a strategic alliance intent on defending the territorial integrity of administrations that were actually most to blame for the rise of militant Islam. A pivotal time, with further extremist guerrilla militancy inevitable, the oil on which Central Asia uncomfortably sits remains the future hope, potentially providing pipes of peace for troubled lands, enabling regional cooperation and economic restructuring. A work of clear and persuasive vision, rather than rehashing old pieces Ahmed Rashid's superbly balanced analysis brings in from the Cold War a deeply unfashionable yet critical region that more than ever remains central to world peace. --<I>David Vincent</I>
