Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From the early nineteenth century onwards the Nizari Ismailis were transformed from a minor and obscure sect surrounded by ill-informed historical legend, into a small but highly organised temporal and religious movement with global political and economic influence. Much of this remarkable change in fortune can be traced to the hitherto little known diplomatic interaction between the British Empire, and later the British Commonwealth, and the Nizari Ismailis, from 1839 to 1969.Marc van Grondelle's book, based on painstaking archival research, examines the processes and interactions which led to the modernisation and successful co-optation by the British government of this comparatively small branch of Shi'a Islam. The author poses several key questions regarding the wider developing relationship between movements in contemporary Islam and 'The West'. In these increasingly polarised times, his discussion of the effective co-optation of a Muslim group to the mutual benefit of both the former and British foreign and colonial policy is timely and suggestive. He investigates the processes and actions that shaped the Ismails' relationship with London, and the social and political conditions that shaped this realignment. Examines the processes and interactions which led to the modernisation and successful co-optation by the British government of this comparatively small branch of Shi'a Islam. The author poses several key questions regarding the wider developing relationship between movements in contemporary Islam and 'The West'.

Paperback. Condition: New. Mobility shapes society, thus shaping our relationships and social structures. Understanding its significance and potential requires recognizing it as an interdisciplinary entanglement of relation- ships. This book explores mobility from its different angles, highlighting the ways in which it defines society on micro and macro levels. These angles are presented in a broad series of compelling contributions - from visual to scientific essays - by experts in various fields.The design of the book enables the reader to discover practical and visionary links as well as to explore unseen relationships between mobilities and aspects of our evolving society. To achieve this, the editors reflect on a new way of making sense of society by looking at the world through "mobility lenses," expanding current mental and physical societal confines.This design approach to societal investigation invites the reader to go on a surprising journey through the flows of goods, people, materials, ideas and assets, and the interaction between them. It strips the world naked of its biases and unmovable qualities, and creatively explores the softer movements that shape society at ecological, global and human levels.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The way things flow: exploring the movement of bodies, data and goods. Mobility shapes society in countless ways. Looking at society from the perspective of mobility reveals that its key moments of development coincide with the removal of obstacles to human flow-in the physical movement of people, goods, ideas, and spoken and written language. This book explores mobility in various essayistic modes, from visual essays to scientific essay to broad cultural speculations. Mobility Society addresses, among other topics, energy politics and oil's grip on everyday life; urban transportation policy; the restrictions placed upon differently abled bodies; patterns of data flow; human mobility and Blackness; the politics of speed; concepts of "freedom" in relation to mobility; the appearance and experience of permanence in architectural and other objects; geological movement; and the politics of mobile phones. The design of the book encourages the reader to discover and explore unsuspected relations between mobilities and aspects of our evolving society. AUTHORS: .

Collection of essays and visual graphics about mobility. Mobility here is NOT about physically getting around, nor is it about accessibility.
