The Enlightenment
The Ottoman Empire and Its Aftermath
Edited and with a new introduction by Ryan Patrick Hanley, Marquette University, USA and Darrin McMahon, Florida State University, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Historical Studies More than any earlier period of European intellectual history, the age of Enlightenment infused the republic of letters with social and political significance; this long-awaited new collection from Routledge brings together in five volumes the very best scholarship on the period and its legacy. It also incorporates historical and critical essays addressed to the Enlightenment’s alleged responsibility for institutions or policies prevalent in the twentieth century, including economic globalization and the Holocaust.

Arab-Israeli Conflict Edited and with a new introduction by Michael Dumper, University of Exeter, UK Series: Major Writings in Middle Eastern Studies The study of the Arab-Israeli conflict has generated a huge body of literature, some of it factual and evidence-based, some more polemical and provocative. This new four-volume collection provides an overview of both the principal topics and the various approaches to the conflict. Selected Contents: Volume I: 1917–67 Part 1: Precursor to Partition Part 2: Conflicting Narratives on the Origins of the Conflict Part 3: Transformation of Palestine Part 4: Resistance Volume II: 1967–91 Part 5: Impact of the Occupation Part 6: Transformation of Israel Part 7: Strategic and Regional Developments (1967–91) Volume III Part 8: Zionism Part 9: Arabism and Palestinian Nationalism Part 10: State Building, Civil Society, and Gender Part 11: Refugees Part 12: Jerusalem Volume IV: 1991–2007 Part 13: Strategic Dimensions Part 14: Foreign Policies Part 15: The Peace Process: Impact and Failure February 2009: 234x156: 1,869pp Set Hb: 978-0-415-44038-7
The Emergence of the Modern Middle East and Balkans Edited and with a new introduction by M. Sükrü Hanioglu, Princeton University, USA Series: Critical in the Politics of the Middle East This four-volume study is a major compilation for students of Ottoman history and culture, particularly the late period where the political and social structures were not able to evolve in the face of intellectual and industrial expansion in the outside world. The ensuing, inevitable collapse led to the British and French mandates of the entire Middle East, as well as Balkanisation, and created the conditions for the gradual emergence of nation-states through the course of the twentieth century, as well as a host of wars and ethnic conflicts, some of which are still extant. It is the late period, roughly 1789-1922, which attracts the most students because of the interest in the external influences and the political aftermath. However, the collection also contains key background articles to set the historical scene and provide full context. An enhanced understanding of late Ottoman history is indispensable not only to comprehend modern Turkey or even the vast geographical area that was once ruled from Istanbul. It is also essential for the study of European and world history. The Ottoman experience may serve as a superb laboratory for examining the impact of modernity in non-European settings. Given the size of the subject matter and the need to have a good knowledge of numerous languages (in addition to the extinct Ottoman language, which changed considerably from one century to the next) . A well-edited compilation of major articles will overshadow all general works on Ottoman history. Volume I focuses on Ottoman administration, bureaucracy, and diplomacy (as well as bureaucratic modernisation and reforms.) Volume II examines Ottoman intellectual life and culture, with an emphasis on cultural modernisation and westernisation. Volume III looks at Ottoman economic and social life, and Volume IV focuses on Ottoman politics. Each volume has its own introduction, plus short notes covering individual sections (or in some cases, articles). July 2010: 234x156: 1,600pp Set Hb: 978-0-415-45254-0

Irish Feminisms, 1810–1930 Edited and with a new introduction by Mary Pierse, University College Cork, Republic of Ireland Series: History of Feminism This new title in the series brings together a unique selection of the multiple feminisms articulated by Irish writers between 1825 and 1930, a ‘long Victorian’ period. The five volumes foreground a multiplicity of beliefs and attitudes from novels, poetry, short stories, newspaper and journal articles, and essays, both by relatively unknown and by more celebrated writers (such as Lady Gregory, Lady Wilde, and the Parnells).
Edited and with a new introduction by Valerie Sanders, University of Hull, UK and Lucy Delap, University of Cambridge, UK Series: History of Feminism This new collection from Routledge and Edition Synapse provides the documentary backdrop to this growing critical interest in anti-feminism. Based on the premise that to understand the social and intellectual context of the women’s movement and feminism, it is crucial that all contributions to the debate be explored, and not just those of the ‘winning side’, the collection meets an urgent need to restore to the historical record a sense of how feminism was a deeply marginalized position, and to remember that anti-feminism in many cases better represents public opinion concerning the gender politics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Selected Contents: Part 1: Education, Law, and Science Part 2: Working, Professional, and Spiritual Women Part 3: Marriage, Motherhood and Domesticity Part 4: Satire Part 5: Social Change and Leisure Part 6: Literature Part 7: Anti-Suffragists Part 8: Feminism and Militancy Part 9: Constructive and ‘modern’ anti-feminism Part 10: War Part 11: After Suffrage March 2010: 246x174: 1,996pp Set Hb: 978-0-415-49817-3

Twentieth-Century Economic History
Islamic Medical and Scientific Tradition
Edited and with a new introduction by Lars Magnusson, Uppsala University, Sweden Series: Critical Concepts in Economics
Edited and with a new introduction by Peter Pormann, University of Warwick, UK Series: Critical Concepts in Islamic Studies
The study of economic phenomena over time is a well-established and flourishing area of research and study, and this new four-volume collection in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Economics, meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work synthesizing the voluminous literature from twentiethcentury economic historians. Indeed, the sheer scale of the research output—and the breadth of the field—makes this collection especially welcome.
Islam developed over the course of its history one of the most innovative and interesting scientific and medical traditions in the world. In this context, the term Islam should not simply be understood as referring to the religion of the prophet Muhammad, but rather to a civilisation which was surprisingly open to foreign influences, and eager to engage with the proverbial Other. Yet Islam is often perceived as being opposed to (Western) science and methodology.
Selected Contents: Volume I Part 1: Theory and Methodology Part 2: Growth in Economic History Volume II Part 3: The Causes of the Industrial Revolution Part 4: The Social Consequences of the Industrial Revolution Volume III Part 5: The Feudal and Early Modern Economy Part 6: Free Trade, Mercantilism, and Imperialism Part 7: The Great Depression Volume IV Part 8: World Economic History and the Slave Economy Part 9: Miscellany
Islamic Medical and Scientific Tradition presents a selection of articles that illustrate the intellectual curiosity and theoretical vigour with which Arabs and non-Arabs living in the medieval Muslim world pursued scientific endeavours. The focus is firmly on articles published during the last twenty years, during which the discipline has enjoyed a new bloom, with a significant number having been published in the new millennium.

Starting with the theoretical framework of the sciences in Islamic philosophy and theology, this new Major Work from Routledge elucidates the position of mathematics, physics, and medicine within the hierarchy of the sciences. Another topic discussed is Ancient (or Greek) versus traditional (or Muslim) sciences; and Islamic theological views on the pure pursuit of knowledge. The Life Sciences of Biology, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine are examined, as are those of the Physical Sciences: Physics and Astronomy (this includes the nature of the universe, the building blocks of life, and the eternal movement of the spheres.) The Occult Sciences of Astrology, Alchemy, and Geomancy are also discussed. Close attention is paid to the Mathematical Sciences of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Optics (including the introduction of zero, the invention of algebra, the squaring of the circle, conics, and the nature of vision.) The Practical Sciences, Agriculture, Engineering, and Horticulture, are also examined in detail.

Women and Belief, 1852–1928 Edited and with a new introduction by Mark Llewellyn, University of Liverpool, UK and Jessica Cox, University of Wales, Lampeter, UK Series: History of Feminism Women and Belief, 1852–1928 provides a unique collection of different viewpoints. It brings together the work of women writers, theologians, philosophers, and economic and cultural historians to illustrate the multiplicity of voices and opinions on the issues of suffrage and religious faith. This diversity is equally reflected in the broad geographical coverage of the collection which draws on works not only from the United Kingdom and United States but also includes materials from Canada and India, and moves beyond the Christian into the spheres of theosophy, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism.

Imperial Japan and the World, 1931– 1945
The Great Depression had a devastating effect on much of the world’s developed economies.

The transformation of Japan in the years between 1931 and 1945 into an expansionist and potentially hegemonic power that threatened the stability of the international order in East Asia is a topic that is central to any understanding of the region’s history in the twentieth century.
