Autorenporträt
Jo Van Steenbergen teaches Islamic history at Ghent University, Belgium.

Rezensionen
'This engaging and lucid history of the Islamic world from its beginnings down to the advent of the modern age combines a clear theoretical framework with an up-to-date understanding of recent scholarship. The result is a readable history of pre-modern Islamic societies which avoids both excesses of names and dates and the conventional "golden age" and "decline" narratives in favour of more sophisticated explanations of historical change. It will be a very welcome addition to many university courses on Islam and Islamic History, and will also be genuinely useful to a wider general readership.'

Andrew Marsham, University of Cambridge, UK

'This clear and comprehensive summary will be a valuable addition to the literature and should find its place on all student reading lists. Indeed, all those interested in the history of Islamic civilisations will find much to enlighten them in this accessible volume.'

Esther-Miriam Wagner, Woolf Institute, UK
