In many Islamic countries, alcohol is banned; in others, it plays little role in social life. Yet, Muslims throughout history did drink, often to excess―whether sultans and shahs in their palaces, or commoners in taverns run by Jews or Christians. This evocative study delves into drinking’s many historic, literary and social manifestations in Islam, going beyond references to ‘hypocrisy’ or the temptations of ‘forbidden fruit’. Rudi Matthee argues that alcohol, through its ‘absence’ as much as its presence, takes us to the heart of Islam. Exploring the long history of this faith―from the eight-century Umayyad dynasty to Erdoğan’s Turkey, and from Islamic Spain to modern Pakistan―he unearths a tradition of diversity and multiplicity in which Muslims drank, and found myriad excuses to do so. They celebrated wine and used it as a poetic metaphor, even viewing alcohol as a gift from God―the key to unlocking eternal truth. Drawing on a plethora of sources in multiple languages, Matthee presents Islam not as an austere and uncompromising faith, but as a set of beliefs and practices that embrace ambivalence, allowing for ambiguity and even contradiction.

The professional representative of the mathematical sciences was the astrologer. The highest-ranking representative of the medical field was – as in the case of astrology – the head physician at court, the hakim-bashi. Most extant Arabic and Persian texts on one or more of the mathematical sciences were written by madrasa teachers or copied by their students. Teaching the mathematical sciences at madrasas involved primarily arithmetic, algebra, geometry and astronomy. Safavid astrolabes are characterized by a number of shared features. They are usually fitted with a decorated throne. Their rete with the star pointers carries a uniquely elegant, mostly floral design. Medical works of the Safavid period provide some clues as to which books were considered relevant to the knowledge of well-educated doctors and as respectable sources for compiling different kinds of medical writings.

With the latest insights and arguments, some offer overviews of the period or topic at hand, and others present new interpretations of old questions based on newly found sources. In addition to political history and religious life, the chapters in this volume cover economic conditions, commercial links and activities, social relations, and artistic expressions. They do so in ways that stretch both the temporal and geographical perimeters of the subject, and contributors also examine Safavid Iran with an eye to both its Mongol and Timurid antecedents and its long afterlife following the fall of the dynasty. Unlike traditional scholarship which tended to view the country as unique, sui generis, and barely affected by the outside world, The Safavid World situates Iran in a wider, regional or global context. Examining the Safavids from their foundations in the fourteenth century to their relations with the rest of the world in the eighteenth century, this study is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars of the Safavid world and the history and culture of Iran and the Middle East.

This volume consists of eight chapters, each of which deals with at least two of the following subjects: strengths and weaknesses of empire; boundaries between empire and other types of states; the various ways of governing different peoples and the roles of intermediaries, collaborators, and rebels; the impact of modernity on empires and their ambiguous roles in modernization; the center-periphery and metropolis-colony relationships, including the questions of autonomy, and its persistence in the postcolonial/neocolonial era; the process of decolonization, especially its interactions with the Cold War logic, related to the new imperialist rivalry between capitalist and socialist powers. Most of the chapters focus on a particular empire or region but place it in the broader contexts of world history, occasionally comparing it with other empires and regions.

relationship between war and drugs, Killer High covers a vastly under-researched field. It looks at alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, opium, amphetamines,
and cocaine from a variety of angles and examines how they have been entwined with armed conflict in five different ways: as war while on drugs, war through drugs, war for drugs, war against drugs, and drugs after war.
