Theatre of the Rule of Law presents the first sustained critique of global rule of law promotion an expansive industry at the heart of international development, post-conflict reconstruction and security policy today. While successful in articulating and disseminating an effective global public policy, rule of law promotion has largely failed in its stated objectives of raising countries out of poverty and taming violent conflict.

Mu'awiya Ibn ABI Sufyan: The Savior of the Caliphate
ISBN: 9781851684021 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this accessible study, Stephen Humphreys introduces the most elusive of the early caliphs, Mu'awiya ibn abi Sufyan (602-680). Throughout history, some have accused him of being the first caliph to diverge from Muhammed's model of ideal Muslim leadership whilst others credit him with uniting an empire in disarray and transforming the Caliphate into a practicable form of government. In light of this, Humphreys critically analyses his sources, and seeks to get as close as possible to a historical account of the great man.

The Gentle Art of Tramping
ISBN: 9781448217243 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. 'An absolute gem of a book' Alastair Humphreys First published in 1926, The Gentle Art of Tramping is as relevant now as then. Tramping is an approach: to nature, to humankind, to nations, to beauty, to life itself. This lost classic is a breath of fresh air for world-weary souls. It is a gentle art; know how to tramp and you know how to live. Know how to meet your fellow wanderer, how to be passive to the beauty of nature and how to be active to its wildness and its rigour. The adventure is not the getting there, it’s the ‘on-the-way’. It is not the expected, it is the surprise.

The History of Al-Tabari Vol. 15: The Crisis of the Early Caliphate: The Reign of 'Uthman A.D. 644-656/A.H. 24-35
ISBN: 9780791401552 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Before the caliphate of the 'Uthman b. 'Affan, the Muslim community had grown from strength to strength in spite of a series of major crises--the Hirah, the death of the Prophet, the Riddah wars, the assassination of 'Umar by a Persian slave. But 'Uthman's reign ended in catastrophe. His inability to manage the social and political conflicts that were now emerging among various factions within the community led to his death at the hands of Muslim rebels. The consequences of this tragic event were bitter: not only a century of civil war, but also political and religious schisms of such depth...

Between Memory and Desire: The Middle East in a Troubled Age
ISBN: 9780520246911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "Humphreys brings a historian's deep and dispassionate perspective to the modern Middle East.

Objective yet sympathetic, scholarly yet accessible, his book ends up revealing as much about our own society as about those it...
