Summary

In 'Mystics and Saints of Islam,' Claud Field offers readers an in-depth exploration of the spiritual tapestry woven by the mystics and ascetics of Islam. The text serves as a thorough compendium of Sufi thought and practice that delineates not just the historical and biographical accounts of renowned figures, but also the transcendental philosophy that underscores their teachings. Field's prose is cogent and lyrical, bearing the hallmarks of a writer deeply ensconced in the contemplative tradition of the saints he chronicles. Set against the broader religious literature of the early 20th century, this work stands out for its accessible approach to a complex subject often veiled in esotericism, thus contributing significantly to Western understanding of Islamic mysticism.

Claud Field's own scholarly pursuits and spiritual inclinations evidently informed his writing of 'Mystics and Saints of Islam.' His broader interests in religious studies and willingness to convey the depth of Islamic spirituality to a Western audience reflect a period where East meets West with increasing frequency and curiosity. Field's erudite yet empathetic portrait of these venerable figures of Islam guides readers beyond the pervasive stereotypes of the era, making evident his own deep respect for the mystical dimension of the faith he chronicles.

Rooted in meticulous research and a genuine reverence for its subjects, 'Mystics and Saints of Islam' is recommended for both the student of religious studies and the general reader seeking to comprehend the heart and soul of Islam. This DigiCat edition, with its commitment to upholding the literary legacy of human thought, provides an excellent opportunity for modern readers to engage with Field's timeless elucidation of the inner life of Islam's most spiritually enlightened individuals. It's a seminal work that enlightens and inspires, imbuing one's understanding of the Islamic world with nuance and depth.

    “An impressive and thought-provoking work . . . regarding the metaphysical mysteries of life, physical reality, and human consciousness. Highly recommended!” —Spirituality Today 
 
Science and religion are often thought to be in conflict. But the contemporary fields of relativity, quantum physics, neuroscience, and more are in agreement with the transcendent phenomena described by saints, sages, and near-death experiencers. Today’s science actually provides profound insight into miracles, immortality, heaven, God, and transcendent awareness. 
 
The Physics of God describes the intersections of science and religion with colorful, easy-to-understand metaphors, making abstruse subjects within both science and religion easily accessible to the layman. This intriguing book:Pulls back the curtain on the light-show illusion we call matter.Connects string theory to religion’s transcendent heavens.Reveals the scientific secret of life and immortality.Demonstrates the miracle-making power of our minds to effect instantaneous physiological changes. 
 
Included in this revised edition is a new chapter on the physics of meditation and other updates.

    Plutocrats - The Rise of the New...

    There has always been some gap between rich and poor in this country, but in the last few decades what it means to be rich has changed dramatically. Alarmingly, the greatest income gap is not between the 1 percent and the 99 percent, but within the wealthiest 1 percent of our nation—as the merely wealthy are left behind by the rapidly expanding fortunes of the new global super-rich. Forget the 1 percent; Plutocrats proves that it is the wealthiest 0.1 percent who are outpacing the rest of us at break-neck speed. 
What's changed is more than numbers. Today, most colossal fortunes are new, not inherited—amassed by perceptive businessmen who see themselves as deserving victors in a cut-throat international competition. As a transglobal class of successful professionals, today's self-made oligarchs often feel they have more in common with one another than with their countrymen back home. Bringing together the economics and psychology of these new super-rich, Plutocrats puts us inside a league very much of its own, with its own rules. 
The closest mirror to our own time is the late nineteenth century Gilded Age—the era of powerful 'robber barons' like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. Then as now, emerging markets and innovative technologies collided to produce unprecedented wealth for more people than ever in human history. Yet those at the very top benefited far more than others—and from this pinnacle they exercised immense and unchecked power in their countries. Today's closest analogue to these robber barons can be found in the turbulent economies of India, Brazil, and China, all home to ferocious market competition and political turmoil. But wealth, corruption, and populism are no longer constrained by national borders, so this new Gilded Age is already transforming the economics of the West as well. Plutocrats demonstrates how  social upheavals generated by the first Gilded Age may pale in comparison to what is in store for us, as the wealth of the entire globalized world is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. 
Cracking open the tight-knit world of the new global super-rich is Chrystia Freeland, an acclaimed business journalist who has spent nearly two decades reporting on the new transglobal elite. She parses an internal Citigroup memo that urges clients to design portfolios around the international "Plutonomy" and not the national "rest"; follows Russian, Mexican, and Indian oligarchs during the privatization boom as they manipulate the levers of power to commandeer their local economies; breaks down the gender divide between the vast female-managed 'middle class' and the world's one thousand billionaires; shows how, by controlling both the economic and political institutions of their nation, the richest members of China's National People's Congress have amassed more wealth than every branch of American government combined—the president, his cabinet, the justices of the Supreme Court, and both houses of Congress. 
Though the results can be shocking, Freeland dissects the lives of the world's wealthiest individuals with empathy, intelligence, and deep insight. Intelligently written, powerfully researched, and propelled by fascinating original interviews with the plutocrats themselves, Plutocrats is a tour-de-force of social and economic history, and the definitive examination of inequality in our time.

    The Great Stink of Paris and the...

    The scientific and social history surrounding the 1880 incident of a foul odor in Paris and the development of public health culture that followed. 
 
Late in the summer of 1880, a wave of odors enveloped large portions of Paris. As the stench lingered, outraged residents feared that the foul air would breed an epidemic. Fifteen years later—when the City of Light was in the grips of another Great Stink—the public conversation about health and disease had changed dramatically. Parisians held their noses and protested, but this time few feared that the odors would spread disease. 
 
Historian David S. Barnes examines the birth of a new microbe-centered science of public health during the 1880s and 1890s, when the germ theory of disease burst into public consciousness. Tracing a series of developments in French science, medicine, politics, and culture, Barnes reveals how the science and practice of public health changed during the heyday of the Bacteriological Revolution. 
 
Despite its many innovations, however, the new science of germs did not entirely sweep away the older “sanitarian” view of public health. The longstanding conviction that disease could be traced to filthy people, places, and substances remained strong, even as it was translated into the language of bacteriology. Ultimately, the attitudes of physicians and the French public were shaped by political struggles between republicans and the clergy, by aggressive efforts to educate and “civilize” the peasantry, and by long-term shifts in the public’s ability to tolerate the odor of bodily substances. 
 
 
 
“A well-developed study in medically related social history, it tells an intriguing tale and prompts us to ask how our own cultural contexts affect our views and actions regarding environmental and infectious scourges here and now.” —New England Journal of Medicine 
 
“Both a captivating story and a sophisticated historical study. Kudos to Barnes for this valuable and insightful book that both physicians and historians will enjoy.” —Journal of the American Medical Association

    The Rise of Universities is a historical survey on the foundation and progress of high education, whose origins can be traced to medieval times. Exploring the medieval universities, the author divided the book in three parts: "The Earliest Universities," "The Medieval Professor," and "The Medieval Student." The author starts with the question of the origin of modern university finding its roots in Medieval Europe. He then traces the humble beginnings of these early institutions with their itinerant professors and their rowdy students. Tracing the origin of an institution, the author finds the origin of Europe as a concept or as an idea, the precursor of modernism, democracy and human rights.
