Islam, the People and the State Political Ideas and Movements in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781845118235 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The recent prominence of Islamic politics in the Middle East has raised important questions about society, politics and culture.

Beyond Islam : A New Understanding of the Middle East
ISBN: 9781848850699 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
