Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

Rivals in the Gulf: Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis details the relationships between the Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the Al Thani royal family in Qatar and between the Mauritanian Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Al Nahyans the rulers of Abu Dhabi and senior royal family in the United Arab Emirates. These relationships stretch back decades to the early 1960s and 1970s respectively. Using this history as a foundation the book examines the connections between Qaradawi’s and Bin Bayyah’s rival projects and the development of Qatar’s and the UAE’s competing state-brands and foreign policies. It raises questions about how to theorize the relationships between the Muslim scholarly-elite (the ulama) and the nation-state. Over the course of the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis Qaradawi and Bin Bayyah shaped the Al Thani’s and Al Nahyan’s competing ideologies in important ways. Offering new ways for academics to think about Doha and Abu Dhabi as hegemonic centers of Islamic scholarly authority alongside historical centers of learning such as Cairo Medina or Qom this book will appeal to those with an interest in modern Islamic authority the ulama Gulf politics as well as the Arab Spring and its aftermath. | Rivals in the Gulf Yusuf al-Qaradawi Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis

Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

Abu Dhabi’s urban development path contrasts sharply with its exuberant neighbour Dubai. As Alamira Reem puts it Abu Dhabi capital of the United Arab Emirates since 1971 ‘has been quietly devising its own plans … to manifest its role and stature as a capital city’. Alamira Reem a native Abu Dhabian and urban planner and researcher who has studied the emirate’s development for more than a decade is uniquely placed to write its urban history. Following the introduction and description of Abu Dhabi’s early modern history she focuses on three distinct periods dating from the discovery of oil in 1960 and coinciding with periods in power of the three rulers since then: Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1960–1966) Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1966–2004) and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan (2004–). Based on archival research key interviews and spatial mapping she analyses the different approaches of each ruler to development; investigates the role of planning consultants architects developers construction companies and government agencies; examines the emergence of comprehensive development plans and the policies underlying them; and assesses the effects of these many and varied influences on Abu Dhabi’s development. She concludes that while much still needs to be done Abu Dhabi’s progress towards becoming a global sustainable city provides lessons for cities elsewhere. | Planning Abu Dhabi An Urban History

An Archaeology of the Contemporary Era

An Archaeology of the Contemporary Era

An Archaeology of the Contemporary Era approaches the contemporary age between the late nineteenth and twenty-first centuries as an archaeological period defined by specific material processes. It reflects on the theory and practice of the archaeology of the contemporary past from epistemological political ethical and aesthetic viewpoints and characterises the present based on archaeological traces from the spatial temporal and material excesses that define it. The materiality of our era the book argues and particularly its ruins and rubbish reveals something profound original and disturbing about humanity. This is the first attempt at describing the contemporary era from an archaeological point of view. Global in scope the book brings together case studies from every continent and considers sources from peripheral and rarely considered traditions meanwhile engaging in an interdisciplinary dialogue with philosophy anthropology history and geography. An Archaeology of the Contemporary Era will be essential reading for students and practitioners of the archaeology of the contemporary past historical archaeology and archaeological theory. It will also be of interest to anybody concerned with globalisation modernity and the Anthropocene.

Handbook on Ageing with Disability

Handbook on Ageing with Disability

Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of people ageing with disability and they have also been largely overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this developing field and across different groups of people with disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific groups. Drawing from academic personal and clinical perspectives the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with disability experience is framed the heterogeneity of the population ageing with disability and the disability experience issues of social exclusion health and wellness frailty later life and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge in this field the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers practitioners and policy makers about what matters in providing services developing programmes and implementing policies that support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their families.

Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

This book describes the detailed process behind the development of a comprehensive thermo-bio-architectural framework (the ThBA). This framework systematically connects the thermal performance requirements of a building to relevant solutions found in the natural world. This is the first time that architecture has been connected to biology in this manner. The book provides an in-depth understanding of thermoregulatory strategies in animals and plants and links these to equivalent solutions in architectural design. The inclusion of this fundamental knowledge along with the systematic process of accessing it should open up new avenues for the generation of energy efficient and sustainable buildings. | Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)
