Автор: Reza Banakar Название: Driving Culture in Iran: Law and Society on the Roads of the Islamic Republic ISBN: 178453448X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781784534486 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 137280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Iran has one of the highest rates of road traffic accidents worldwide and according to a recent UNICEF report, the current rate of road accidents in Iran is 20 times more than the world average. Using extensive interviews with a variety of Iranians from a range of backgrounds, this book explores their dangerous driving habits and the explanations for their disregard for traffic laws. It argues that Iranians' driving behaviour is an indicator of how they have historically related to each other and to their society at large, and how they have maintained a form of social order through law, culture and religion. By considering how ordinary Iranians experience the traffic problem in their cities and how they describe traffic rules, laws, authorities and the rights of other citizens, Driving Culture in Iran provides an original and valuable insight into Iranian legal, social and political culture.

Travel books rarely provide the tourist such a clear, succinct and simple path to a destination as do Jackson (Kip) Lindsay's Local Knowledge Travel Guides. "Creating travelers out of tourists", as Kip says, may just exemplify the essence of what these remarkable guides offer the reader. His 45 years traveling southern Mexico's Yucatan coast, Cozumel and Isla Mujeres, offer a perspective and experience here few have. The books provide the reader with an in-depth opportunity to know places that will fit their style for food and drink, romantic beaches, quiet shopping spots, local music and art, or top notch silver your first day, without fumbling around with questionable suggestions. The unique format categorizing dining options, dive and snorkel opportunities, beaches, daytime activities, nightlife, local doctors and pharmacies or shopping venues, enables the visitor to easily select options to their taste immediately upon arrival. For example, Local Knowledge will not just leave you with a list of restaurants, rather it is categorized with "great tacos", ice cream and desert shops", "choice steaks", "romantic settings for dinner", "beautiful beachside dining", "local seafood", "family dining", "for the vegetarian", etc.
Several media reviews have featured Local Knowledge Travel Guides in the past, including The Denver Post, The Sacramento Bee and Milwaukee Magazine. In addition, Jackson's writing has been featured on Funjet's Vax Vacation Access, with his stories on Riviera Maya travel destinations, Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Cozumel.
Jackson's wife Sue has been visiting southern Mexico for a bit longer than he has. Her travels began in the Yucatan, Belize and Guatemala a couple of years before his, following the "Gringo Trail" like so many young backpackers did in those days. This part of Mexico then was nothing like today. Cancun and Playa Del Carmen had no hotels, there was one road, it was a far different world. Both live in Milwaukee where summers are spent with as much pontoon boat time on the river as is possible.

Following the events of September 11, 2001, American Muslims found themselves under unprecedented scrutiny. Muslim communities in the United States suffered from negative representations of their religion, but they also experienced increased interest in aspects of their faith and cultures. They seized the opportunity to shape the intellectual contribution of American Muslims to contemporary Muslim thought as never before. Muslim women in particular—often assumed to be silenced, oppressed members of their own communities—challenged stereotypes through their writing, seeking to express what it means to be a Muslim woman in America and carrying out intra-Muslim debates about gender roles and women’s participation in society. Hammer looks at the work of significant female American Muslim writers, scholars, and activists, using their writings as a lens for a larger discussion of Muslim intellectual production in America and beyond.
Centered on the controversial women-led Friday prayer in March 2005, Hammer uses this event and its aftermath to address themes of faith, community, and public opinion. Tracing the writings of American Muslim women since 1990, the author covers an extensive list of authors, including Amina Wadud, Leila Ahmed, Asma Barlas, Riffat Hassan, Mohja Kahf, Azizah al-Hibri, Asra Normani, and Asma Gull Hasan. Hammer deftly examines each author’s writings, demonstrating that the debates that concern American Muslim women are at the heart of modern Muslim debates worldwide. While gender is the catalyst for Hammer’s study, her examination of these women’s intellectual output touches on themes central to contemporary Islam: authority, tradition, Islamic law, justice, and authenticity.
