This tribute to Charles J. Adams from colleagues and students includes essays on numerous aspects of Islamic civilization, beginning with early Islam down to the modern period. The Qur’an receives the attention of five authors: Andrew Rippin focuses on references to the pre-Islamic Hanifs, while Issa Boullata traces poetic citation in Qur’anic exegesis. Sulami’s commentary is discussed by Gerhard Bowering, and Hallaq draws attention to the unique place the Qur’an occupied in Shatibi’s legal theory. Finally, W.C. Smith looks at the Qur’an from a comparativist

The Presented Past examines the differences between the comparatively static way schools, museums and historic organizations present the past and the way contemporary archaeologists approach it. The book challenges the representation of the past as something finished, understood and objective, rather than something that is "constructed" and therefore open to co-existing interpretations and constant reinterpretation.

The book describes methods for working with elements, subgroups, and quotient groups of a finitely presented group. The author emphasizes the connection with fundamental algorithms from theoretical computer science, particularly the theory of automata and formal languages, from computational number theory, and from computational commutative algebra. The LLL lattice reduction algorithm and various algorithms for Hermite and Smith normal forms are used to study the Abelian quotients of a finitely presented group. The work of Baumslag, Cannonito, and Miller on computing non-Abelian polycyclic

Coins are one of the most abundant sources for our study of the past, yet their value as historical evidence is relatively neglected because of a general lack of knowledge of numismatic techniques. This volume of essays, offered by a circle of friends, colleagues and pupils working in Britain, Europe and North America, is intended to pay tribute to Philip Grierson’s unique contribution to the study of numismatic method. A medievalist by training, through his wide-ranging interests in coins and coinage Grierson has commanded the respect of historians and numismatists of all periods for th
