Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-05 00:00:00 Megan Bache Imran Nyazee's book on Jurisprudence are one of its kind and is way of writing is lucid and concise. This book discusses the methodology of Ijtihad and also the sources of Islamic law along with its objectives. I would recommend this book for those who want to have solid foundation in this topic and have access to only English books.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-21 00:00:00 Cameron Goodwin Entertaining survey history of major developments in Western science framed by a concurrent history of major developments in Western music. Brings home the ideas that (1) science & art are both shaped by and shapers of the cultural zeitgeist; and (2) that the creative impulses behind major developments in each aren't so different in each area. Not earth-shattering conclusions, but nice to be reminded of given the prevailing disjunction assumed between art & science nowadays. Levenson is occasionally ramble-y, but it feels like listening to someone who really enjoys his subject matter and so goes off on tangents, but they are interesting, so you don't mind so much. It reminded me of a book I read many years ago (the title of which I cannot now remember, grrr) about developments of art and physics in the early 20th century. If I could remember that book I'd recommend it here.
