Offering a timely new appraisal of the political and social impact of Islam, Religion and Politics will be welcomed by political scientists and historians alike. In this work, Jan-Erik Lane and Hamadi Redissi employ a Weberian approach, underlining the social consequences of religious beliefs, to account for the political differences between the major civilizations of the world against the background of the rise of modern capitalism in the Occidental sphere.

This thought-provoking work raises the question of whether the tenets of Islam might be reconciled with the requirements of post-modernity.

Peter Huchthausen has given a wonderful, balanced account of the ordeal of K-19 and of the men who served in the Soviet Navy, struggli
