Download or read book Islamic History Through Coins written by Jere L. Bacharach and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can one discover through the study of medieval Islamic coins? It appears that the regular gold dinars and silver dirhams issued by the Ikhshidid rulers of Egypt and Palestine (935-69) followed a series of understood but unwritten rules. As the first part of this book reveals, these norms involved whose names could appear on the regular currency, where the names could be placed (based upon a strict hierarchical order), and even which parts of a Muslim name could be included. The founder of the dynasty, Muhammad ibn Tughj, could use the honorific al-Ikhshid; his eldest son and successor could use his teknonym Abu al-Qasim; his brother, the third ruler, could use only his name Ali; and the eunuch Kafur, effective ruler of Egypt for over twenty years, could never inscribe his name on the regular coinage. At the same time, each one of these rulers was named in the Friday sermon and most had their teknonym inscribed on textiles. Presentation coins, the equivalent of modern commemorative pieces, could break all these rules, and a wide variety of titles appeared, as well as a series of coins with human representation. The second half of the book is a catalogue of over 1,200 specimens, enabling curators, collectors, and dealers to identify coins in their own collections and their relative rarity. Throughout the book numismatic pieces are illustrated, along with commentary on their inscriptions, layout, and metallic content.
Download or read book The Arab Gulf Economies written by Ibrahim M. Oweiss and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2000-10-16 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Gulf economies of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates share obvious common denominators but in reality have experienced fluctuations in growth, stemming mainly from exogenous factors. There are promising prospects for these economies in coming decades, provided certain favorable variables prevail or there could be cause for concern if negative trends predominate. What seems likely is a mixed scenario, determined by the resultant impact of opposing forces. The study begins with a general overview of Gulf economies, taking into account the region's reliance on oil revenues. A statistical estimate of price elasticity of demand for oil is made, given the fluctuations in oil prices from peaks in 1974 and in 1979 to low levels in the mid 1980's and in early 1999. Analysis of macro-economic data over a twenty-year period pinpoints the sources of regional economic growth, while a detailed econometric study identifies the oil price determinants during the years 1983-1998. From the empirical results of this study and an examination of the region's endogenous factors such as population growth and human productivity and other exogenous factors such as globalization and economic blocs, the prospects for the coming decades are sketched and practical recommendations are offered that could speed up the process of Arab monetary integration and boost the UAE's national economic growth.

Book excerpt: "With over 500 stunning colour illustrations New Vision: Arab Contemporary Art in the 21st Century offers the most comprehensive, scholarly and in-depth survey yet of what is happening at the cutting-edge of art in the Arab world." "In the perpetual quest for the new, the exciting and the innovative, the attention of the global art community has in recent years been more and more focused on the Middle East. Exhibitions and articles have highlighted a remarkable burst of creativity in the region, as Arab countries from Syria to Algeria, Egypt to Lebanon and Palestine to Saudi Arabia have launched some of the most fascinating artists in recent years." "The conceptual playfulness of Hassan Khan, the charged paintings of Jeffar Khaldi, the organic sculptures of Diana Al-Hadid, and the moving photography of Yto Barrada have dazzled audiences with their variety, innovation and thoughtfulness. Until now, however, nobody has captured the vitality of the region s art in a single book." "Five groundbreaking essays offer the best context to date for contemporary Arab art. These are followed by some 90 superbly illustrated profiles of key artists, organizations and galleries. Mixing the well known (such as Mona Hatoum or Susan Hefuna) with the up and coming (for example, Steve Sabella or Mireille Astore). Exclusive interviews with artists and key curators give an unrivalled insight into the aims, ideas and inspirations of this new generation." "Perfect for all scholars, students and lovers of art, as well as all those interested in the broader Arab cultures, this book is set to become the touchstone publication on this increasingly important and exciting subject." --Book Jacket.

Complétée par de riches comparaisons avec les monnayages de l'époque wisigothique et de la Sicile byzantine.
