*** Robert Kevin Jaques‘ work, Ibn Hajar: Makers of Islamic Civilization (I. B. Tauris, 2013), focuses on the life of one of the most eminent Muslim scholars, Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī (d. 852/1449). Jaques provides his readers with a concise yet intimate biography of this great scholar based on the accounts of his students, chiefly the al-Jawāhir of al-Sakhāwī, and works penned by Ibn Ḥajar himself. Beginning life as an orphan, Ibn Ḥajar rose to the most prominent academic position as the chief Shāfi‛ī judge of the Egyptian Mamlūk system. His accomplishment made all the more remarkable as he had to contest with countless political machinations and personal tragedies including the death of many of his children. While many of Ibn Ḥajar’s contemporary’s rose and fell due to their inability to successfully navigate the ever changing political landscape, Jaques ascribes Ibn Ḥajar’s longevity and lasting legacy to his enchanting personality, religious devotion, and inimitable acumen; qualities often ignored or downplayed by social historians studying the political intrigues of Mamlūk society. Jaques discusses the significance of Ibn Ḥajar’s historical and biographical texts, such as the Inbā’ al-ghumr bi-anbā’ al-‘umr and al-Durar al-kāmina, but he devotes much time to Ibn Ḥajar’s massive commentary on al-Bukhārī’s Ṣāḥīḥ, Fatḥ al-bārī. The study of ḥadīth became Ibn Ḥajar’s way to combat personal losses and the constant threat of plague; phenomena which he believed were not occasions of Divine retribution for the transgressions of the community. Excellent in its composition and structure, Makers of Islamic Civilization: Ibn Ḥajar is a book which will benefit both the novice and expert in the study of Islam. ***

A Short History of the Italian Renaissance
(I.B. Tauris, 2015)
by Virginia Cox (Chair of the Department of Italian Studies, NYU)
The author in conversation with Stefano Albertini (NYU) and Christopher Celenza (Johns Hopkins University)
The extraordinary creative energy of Renaissance Italy lies at the root of modern Western culture. In her elegant new introduction, Virginia Cox offers a fresh vision of this iconic moment in European cultural history, when – between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries – Italy led the world in painting, building, science and literature. Her book explores key artistic, literary and intellectual developments, but also histories of food and fashion, map-making, exploration and anatomy. Alongside towering figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Petrarch, Machiavelli and Isabella d’Este, Cox reveals a cast of lesser-known protagonists including printers, travel writers, actresses, courtesans, explorers, inventors and even celebrity chefs. At the same time, Italy’s rich regional diversity is emphasised; in addition to the great artistic capitals of Florence, Rome and Venice, smaller but cutting-edge centres such as Ferrara, Mantua, Bologna, Urbino and Siena are given their due. As the author reveals, women played a far more prominent role in this exhilarating resurgence than was recognized until very recently – both as patrons of art and literature and as creative artists themselves. ‘Renaissance woman’, she boldly argues, is as important a legacy as ‘Renaissance man’.

*** Edward Said’s 1978 book, Orientalism, dramatically shifted how people think about the production of knowledge and representations of the Other. His ideas have been championed and critiqued with dozens of books expanding his work on the construction of the East in western imagination. However, very rarely have we investigated the dual move of representing the Other and self-representation from the other perspective. In his new book, Arab Occidentalism: Images of America in the Middle East (I.B.Tauris, 2015), Eid Mohamed, Assistant Professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, has undertaken this task. With great success he offers a portrait of the shifting attitudes towards America and American Culture in the Arab imagination in the post 9/11 media landscape. He found that Arab cultural producers have a complicated relationship with America, seeing it as problematic while also often representative of their own values. Mohamed delineates how this debate unfolds in literature, cinema, and news media. In our conversation we explored the dynamics of Occidentalism through Arabic novels about Egyptians living abroad in the United States, news depictions of the 2008 shoe throwing event with President George W. Bush in Iraq, the reactions to the election of Barack Obama, the Egyptian film industry, and contemporary Arab-American literary products. ***

Syria is home to some of the world's richest historical and archaeological remains--dating from the Bronze Age through Byzantine times to the Ottoman Period. Until now, however, they have been little known and rarely visited. Only a handful of sites are familiar from travel literature: the Roman desert city of Palmyra, the Crusader castle of Krak des Chevaliers, and the great Ummayad Mosque of Damascus. This is the definitive historical guide to Syria.

Ross Burns is the author of two works on the archaeology and history of Syria. Monuments of Syria was first published in 1992 and has since had a succession of paperback and revised editions including one in French. In 2009, it was re-published in a thoroughly revised third English edition by I B Tauris, London (ISBN 978-1-84511-947-8). In 2005, Damascus -- A History was published (Routledge, London) — the only examination at book length in English of this key Arab capital. This is now available in a paperback edition (ISBN 978-0-415-41317-6).
Ross was for many years in the Australian Foreign Service and had a number of Middle Eastern assignments. He has also accompanied as lecturer a number of tours to Syria, Lebanon and Jordan for the British travel company, Martin Randall Travel, and for the Melbourne firm, Australians Studying Abroad. He completed a Ph D in urban landscapes in the Roman Near East at Macquarie University in Sydney in 2011. This study, hopefully to be published as a book in the near future, looks at the role of the strikingly distinctive feature that marks many of the cities of the Roman Eastern provinces — their long straight avenues lined with columns which define the shape of the whole city in one commanding perspective. The colonnaded axis became an essential element in all sizeable centres of the Greek-speaking empire under Rome. The origins of this concept, unfamiliar in either the Greek or Roman traditions, appears to have evolved in response to ideas on city planning blending elements from many traditions, coming together in the wealthy Eastern cities' attempts to out-do each other in the scale and beauty of their civic environments. The colonnaded streets embodied a city's prosperity and commitment to Rome's new order and were almost universally adopted by the second century AD. An outline of the thesis entitled 'Colonnaded Streets in the Cities of the East Under Rome' is attached —
RB thesis title pages 2011, http://monumentsofsyria.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/RB-thesis-title-pages-2011.pdf
Ross plans other projects intended to make more accessible to a wider audience the 'ins and outs' of the Middle East, looking more closely at other forgotten corners of Syria's past. He lectures both to specialist and generalist audiences and has contributed to academic publications. A list of lectures given over the period 2004 to 2012 is found in the attached PDF — List of lectures Ross Burns 21 Aug 2012 ,

Jaques provides his readers with a concise yet intimate biography of this great scholar based on the accounts of his students, chiefly the al-Jawāhir of al-Sakhāwī, and works penned by Ibn Ḥajar himself. Beginning life as an orphan, Ibn Ḥajar rose to the most prominent academic position as the chief Shāfi‛ī judge of the Egyptian Mamlūk system. His accomplishment made all the more remarkable as he had to contest with countless political machinations and personal tragedies including the death of many of his children. While many of Ibn Ḥajar’s contemporary’s rose and fell due to their inability to successfully navigate the ever changing political landscape, Jaques ascribes Ibn Ḥajar’s longevity and lasting legacy to his enchanting personality, religious devotion, and inimitable acumen; qualities often ignored or downplayed by social historians studying the political intrigues of Mamlūk society. Jaques discusses the significance of Ibn Ḥajar’s historical and biographical texts, such as the Inbā’ al-ghumr bi-anbā’ al-‘umr and al-Durar al-kāmina, but he devotes much time to Ibn Ḥajar’s massive commentary on al-Bukhārī’s Ṣāḥīḥ, Fatḥ al-bārī.

A Short History of the Italian Renaissance
(I.B. Tauris, 2015)
by Virginia Cox (Chair of the Department of Italian Studies, NYU)
The author in conversation with Stefano Albertini (NYU) and Christopher Celenza (Johns Hopkins University)
The extraordinary creative energy of Renaissance Italy lies at the root of modern Western culture. In her elegant new introduction, Virginia Cox offers a fresh vision of this iconic moment in European cultural history, when – between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries – Italy led the world in painting, building, science and literature. Her book explores key artistic, literary and intellectual developments, but also histories of food and fashion, map-making, exploration and anatomy. Alongside towering figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Petrarch, Machiavelli and Isabella d’Este, Cox reveals a cast of lesser-known protagonists including printers, travel writers, actresses, courtesans, explorers, inventors and even celebrity chefs. At the same time, Italy’s rich regional diversity is emphasised; in addition to the great artistic capitals of Florence, Rome and Venice, smaller but cutting-edge centres such as Ferrara, Mantua, Bologna, Urbino and Siena are given their due. As the author reveals, women played a far more prominent role in this exhilarating resurgence than was recognized until very recently – both as patrons of art and literature and as creative artists themselves. ‘Renaissance woman’, she boldly argues, is as important a legacy as ‘Renaissance man’.

*** Edward Said’s 1978 book, Orientalism, dramatically shifted how people think about the production of knowledge and representations of the Other. His ideas have been championed and critiqued with dozens of books expanding his work on the construction of the East in western imagination. However, very rarely have we investigated the dual move of representing the Other and self-representation from the other perspective. In his new book, Arab Occidentalism: Images of America in the Middle East (I.B.Tauris, 2015), Eid Mohamed, Assistant Professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, has undertaken this task. With great success he offers a portrait of the shifting attitudes towards America and American Culture in the Arab imagination in the post 9/11 media landscape. He found that Arab cultural producers have a complicated relationship with America, seeing it as problematic while also often representative of their own values. Mohamed delineates how this debate unfolds in literature, cinema, and news media. In our conversation we explored the dynamics of Occidentalism through Arabic novels about Egyptians living abroad in the United States, news depictions of the 2008 shoe throwing event with President George W. Bush in Iraq, the reactions to the election of Barack Obama, the Egyptian film industry, and contemporary Arab-American literary products. ***

Syria is home to some of the world's richest historical and archaeological remains--dating from the Bronze Age through Byzantine times to the Ottoman Period. Until now, however, they have been little known and rarely visited. Only a handful of sites are familiar from travel literature: the Roman desert city of Palmyra, the Crusader castle of Krak des Chevaliers, and the great Ummayad Mosque of Damascus. This is the definitive historical guide to Syria.

Ross Burns is the author of two works on the archaeology and history of Syria. Monuments of Syria was first published in 1992 and has since had a succession of paperback and revised editions including one in French. In 2009, it was re-published in a thoroughly revised third English edition by I B Tauris, London (ISBN 978-1-84511-947-8). In 2005, Damascus -- A History was published (Routledge, London) — the only examination at book length in English of this key Arab capital. This is now available in a paperback edition (ISBN 978-0-415-41317-6).
Ross was for many years in the Australian Foreign Service and had a number of Middle Eastern assignments. He has also accompanied as lecturer a number of tours to Syria, Lebanon and Jordan for the British travel company, Martin Randall Travel, and for the Melbourne firm, Australians Studying Abroad. He completed a Ph D in urban landscapes in the Roman Near East at Macquarie University in Sydney in 2011. This study, hopefully to be published as a book in the near future, looks at the role of the strikingly distinctive feature that marks many of the cities of the Roman Eastern provinces — their long straight avenues lined with columns which define the shape of the whole city in one commanding perspective. The colonnaded axis became an essential element in all sizeable centres of the Greek-speaking empire under Rome. The origins of this concept, unfamiliar in either the Greek or Roman traditions, appears to have evolved in response to ideas on city planning blending elements from many traditions, coming together in the wealthy Eastern cities' attempts to out-do each other in the scale and beauty of their civic environments. The colonnaded streets embodied a city's prosperity and commitment to Rome's new order and were almost universally adopted by the second century AD. An outline of the thesis entitled 'Colonnaded Streets in the Cities of the East Under Rome' is attached —

Ross plans other projects intended to make more accessible to a wider audience the 'ins and outs' of the Middle East, looking more closely at other forgotten corners of Syria's past. He lectures both to specialist and generalist audiences and has contributed to academic publications. A list of lectures given over the period 2004 to 2012 is found in the attached PDF — List of lectures Ross Burns 21 Aug 2012 ,
