WassersteinNew HavenYale University Press2017xiv, 266 p.ill.: map24 cmA medieval Islam historian's incisive portrait of ISIS, revealing the group's deep ideological and intellectual roots in the earliest days of Islam. With tremendous speed, the Islamic State has moved from the margins to the center of life in the Middle East. Despite recent setbacks, its ability to conquer and retain huge swaths of territory has demonstrated its skillful tactical maneuvering, ambition, and staying power. Yet we still know too little about ISIS, particularly about its deeper ideology. In this eye-opening book, David J. Wasserstein offers a penetrating analysis of the movement, looking closely at the thousand-year-old form of Islamic apocalyptic messianism the group draws upon today. He shows how ISIS is not only a military and political movement but also, and primarily, a religious one with a coherent worldview, a patent strategy, and a clear goal: the re-creation of a medieval caliphate. Connecting the group's day-to-day activities and the writings and sayings of its leaders with the medieval Islamic past, Wasserstein provides an insightful and unprecedented perspective on the origins and aspirations of the Islamic State.TerrorismoAseptti religiosiIslam363.325095623itaWasserstein,David173609ITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9910305560403321GLOB. 83303/18FSPBCFSPBCBlack banners of ISIS1544702UNINA01159nam a2200325 i 450099100072934970753620020507172838.0991124s1998 uk ||| | eng 0521642035b10749287-39ule_instLE01301403ExLDip.to Matematicaeng515.64AMS 49-XXAMS 49J05LC QA315.J67Jost, Jürgen54734Calculus of variations /Jürgen Jost and Xianqing Li-JostCambridge :Cambridge University Press,c1998xvi, 323 p. ;24 cmCambridge studies in advanced mathematics ;64Includes indexCalculus of variationsLi-Jost, Xianqingauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut725396.b1074928723-02-1728-06-02991000729349707536LE013 49-XX JOS11 (1998)12013000118277le013-E0.00-l- 09590.i1084205628-06-02Calculus of variations1415614UNISALENTOle01301-01-99ma -enguk 01
