Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2013 Gorgias Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: In recent years, the Qur'an has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies, in both its role as scripture and as literature within the Muslim community. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsir, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. First published in 1988, this collection of essays marks a significant turning point in the scholarly study of tafsir, bringing the discipline a new prominence and stimulating a new generation of scholars to devote their energy to its study. Although the state of research has improved, many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating the depth and breadth of the literature. Building on the work of Ignaz Goldziher's Die Richtungen der islamischen Koranauslegung and the investigations of Sezgin, Abbott, and Wansbrough, the essays gathered here expose and explore various aspects of the field of tafsir, and their potential for scholarly research. The essays are divided into four main sections: formation and development; genres; sectarian dimensions; and modern trends. Contents: Chapter 1: Origins and Early Development of the tafsir Tradition by Fred Leemhuis; Chapter 2: The Value of the Hafs and Warsh Transmissions for the Textual History of the Qur'an by Adrian Brockett; Chapter 3: Quranic Hermeneutics: The Views of al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir by Jane Dammen McAuliffe; Chapter 4: The Function of hadith as Commentary on the Qur'an, as Seen in the Six Authoritative Collections by R. Marston Speight; Chapter 5: Legends in tafsir and hadith Literature: The Creation of Adam and Related Stories by M. J. Kister; Chapter 6: The Exegetical Genre nasikh al-Qur'an wa mansukhuhu by David S. Powers; Chapter 7: The Rhetorical Interpretation of the Qur'an: i'jaz and Related Topics by Issa J. Boullata; Chapter 8: Lexicographical Texts and the Qur'an by Andrew Rippin; Chapter 9: The Speaking Qur'an and the Silent Qur'an: A Study of the Principles and Development of Imami Shi'i tafsir by Mahmoud Ayoub; Chapter 10: Isma'ili ta'wil of the Qur'an by Ismail K. Poonawala; Chapter 11: Interpretation as Revelation: The Qur'an Commentary of Sayyid 'Ali Muhammad Shirazi, the Bab (1819-1850) by B. Todd Lawson; Chapter 12: Quranic Exegesis in the Malay World: In Search of a Profile by Anthony H.

Hardback. Condition: New. Does the Earth contain enough oil to provide energy for the human race indefinitely? If not, how long will the oil last? What about renewable energy technologies like wind and solar? Will they be able to supply an indefinite supply of energy for the human race? If not, how long will it last? And what role does overpopulation play in our world's energy supply? Even with multiple forms of energy available, how long will it last as long as more and more humans, and therefore more industries and energy consumption, are added? Taking a long-held theory called "Peak Oil Theory" the authors of this groundbreaking new text examine the theory of "Peak Energy" to examine all of these questions. Crude oil and natural gas are the major sources of fuel used to supply energy for various needs. Users of crude oil and natural gas must take into account that these energy sources are, without doubt, non-renewable depleting resources, and the cost of extraction depends not only on the current rate of production but also on the amount of cumulative production. In fact, many pundits believe projections that the world is rapidly approaching a precipice, after which crude oil and natural gas will no longer be in ready supply. This phenomenon has given rise to the peak oil theory - peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of petroleum recovery from the reservoir is reached, after which the rate of petroleum production enters terminal decline. From this concept has emerged the wider concept of the peak energy theory which, as it is related to the availability of all fossil fuels, is also subject to decline with fossil fuel use. This text, written by two of the world's most well-known, respected, and prolific writers in the energy industry, is a fascinating study of our world's energy needs and the future of the multi-source energy supply on this planet. Whether oil and gas, wind, solar, geothermal, or even nuclear, all sources of energy have their limits, and we, as scientists, engineers, and consumers of energy need to be knowledgeable on these topics. This book is a must-have for any engineer, student, scientist, or even layperson interested in energy and the idea of energy sustainability on planet Earth.…
