Illustrated with tables and graphs. xvi/272 pages."China is now the world's fourth largest economy and growing very fast. India's economic salience is also on the rise. Together these two countries will profoundly influence the pace and nature of global economic change. Drawing upon the latest research, this volume analyzes the influences on the rapid future development of these two countries and examines how their growth is likely to impinge upon other countries. It considers international trade, industrialization, foreign investment and capital flows, and the implications of their broadening environmental footprints. It also discusses how the two countries have tackled poverty, inequality and governance issues and whether progress in these areas will be a key to rapid and stable growth."

Description:
First printing. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new. viii/372 pages."Dante put Muhammad in one of the lowest circles of Hell. At the same time, the medieval Christian poet placed several Islamic philosophers much more honorably in Limbo. Furthermore, it has long been suggested that for much of the basic framework of the "Divine Comedy" Dante was indebted to apocryphal traditions about a "night journey" taken by Muhammad.
Dante scholars have increasingly returned to the question of Islam to explore the often surprising encounters among religious traditions that the Middle Ages afforded. This collection of essays works through what was known of the Qur'an and of Islamic philosophy and science in Dante's day and explores the bases for Dante's images of Muhammad and Ali. It further compels us to look at key instances of engagement among Muslims, Jews, and Christians."

Description:
Hardcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", displays some minor cracking at half title page. Book is otherwise in fine condition, with firm binding, clean and bright pages. xiii/309 pages.""In Dark Age Nunneries," Steven Vanderputten dismantles the common view of women religious between 800 and 1050 as disempowered or even disinterested witnesses to their own lives. It is based on a study of primary sources from forty female monastic communities in Lotharingia—a politically and culturally diverse region that boasted an extraordinarily high number of such institutions. Vanderputten highlights the attempts by women religious and their leaders, as well as the clerics and the laymen and -women sympathetic to their cause, to construct localized narratives of self, preserve or expand their agency as religious communities, and remain involved in shaping the attitudes and behaviors of the laity amid changing contexts and expectations on the part of the Church and secular authorities.Rather than…

Darsan, a Sanskrit word that means "seeing," is an aid to our vision, a book of ideas to help us read, think, and look at Hindu images with tolerance and imagination."

Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is in fine condition, with solid binding, clean and bright pages. 182 pages."Volker Kaiser analysiert die rethorische Figuration lyrischer Subjektivität und Selbstreferenz. In dem Moment, in dem die Reflexionsmetaphorik der analysierten Gedichte sich einen konstitutiven, einen metapoetischen Status zuschreibt, suspensiert sich allegorisch die semantische Funktion der sprachlichen Zeichen. Das durch diese Suspension artikulierte Dilemma der poetologischen Konstitutionsproblematik stellt die Prämissen ihrer traditionellen Interpretation in Frage. Die Marionette in Rilkes "Marionetten-Theater" wird als fragile Metapher einer undifferenzierten Einheit gelesen, in der sich die aufeinander angewiesenen, doch inkompatiblen Sprachfunktionen der Figuration spiegeln. In der Interpretation von Benns "Abschied" steht die defigurierende und transzendierende Funktion der Metapher in ihrer Allegorisierung und Temporalisierung im Brennpunkt. Aus der mit der…
