'Islamic Development in Palestine' assesses the capabilities of an Islamic approach in aiding self-organisation by examining the case of the occupied Palestinian territories in conjunction with a comparative analysis of four other diverse nations. The book identifies and focuses on three main mechanisms of Islamic development; Islamic finance, Islamic Microfinance and Islamic charity. Identifying the need to recognise the non-linear nature of societal interaction at the individual, community and state levels, the book turns to complexity theory as a solution to better understand development. It assesses the role of Islamic development at both macro and micro levels as it seeks to identify issues pertaining to rigid and hierarchical policy making in development. It also highlights the importance of local knowledge and the need to allow for sufficient freedom to emerge in support of a sustainable self-organised development process. Utilising complexity theory in a discussion of political-economics and development with regards to Islam and Islamic development, this book is of interest to students, scholars and policymakers working in Middle East studies, Islamic studies and development studies.

From Charles Darwin's enlightening voyage to the Galapagos Islands to moat-encased prisons incarcerating the world's deadliest prisoners, islands have been sites of immense scientific, political, and creative importance. An inspiration for artists and writers, they can be lively centers of holiday revelry or remote, mysterious spots; places of escape or of exile and imprisonment. In this cultural and scientific history of these alluring, isolated territories, Stephen A. Royle describes the great variety of islands, their economies, and the animals, plants, and people who thrive on them.

This text has established itself as the best short account of the Chartist movement available. It considers its origins and development, placing the movement within its broad social and economic context. Dr Royle also provides clear analysis of its strategy and leadership and assesses the conflicting interpretations for the failure of Chartism.
