Inside, multicolored frescoes depict scenes from courtly life and the hunt, along with musicians, dancing girls, and naked bathing women. The traveler is transported to the luxurious and erotic world of a mid-eighth-century Muslim Arab prince. For scholars, though, Qusayr 'Amra, probably painted in the 730s or' 740s, h'as proved a mirage, its concreteness dissolved by doubts about date, patron, and meaning. This is the first book-length contextualization of the mysterious monument through a compelling analysis of its iconography and of the literary sources for the Umayyad period. It illuminates not only the way of life of the early Muslim elite but also the long afterglow of late antique Syria. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v36. 517 3 $aArt and the Umayyad elite in late antique Syria 606 $aMural painting and decoration, Umayyad$zJordan$xForeign influences 606 $aArabic poetry$y622-750$xHistory and criticism 610 $aabbasid. 610 $aabd al malik. 610 $aal azraq. 610 $aal buldn. 610 $aalois musil. 610 $aamir. 610 $aancient art. 610 $aapodyterium. 610 $aarab. 610 $aarabic poetry. 610 $aarabic. 610 $aarchitecture. 610 $aart history. 610 $abath house. 610 $abaths. 610 $acaptive woman. 610 $acourt life. 610 $adancing girls. 610 $adecorative arts. 610 $adesert. 610 $adynasty. 610 $afemininity. 610 $afrescoes. 610 $agender. 610 $ahunt. 610 $ahunting lodge. 610 $aiconography. 610 $airan. 610 $aislam. 610 $ajordan. 610 $akhusraw. 610 $alate antiquity. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amonument. 610 $amurals. 610 $amusicians. 610 $amuslim. 610 $amythology. 610 $anegus. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aode. 610 $apersia. 610 $aprince. 610 $aprincess. 610 $aqusayr amra. 610 $aroderic. 610 $aroyal court. 610 $aself fashioning. 610 $ashaykh musa. 610 $asyria. 610 $aumayyad. 610 $awomen. 615 0$aMural painting and decoration, Umayyad$xForeign influences. 615 0$aArabic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a751.7/3/0956959 700 $aFowden$b Garth$0442889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248228803316 996 $aQusayr 'Amra$91689543 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03181oam 22007095 450 001 9910961096503321 005 20240514030147.0 010 $a9780821387894 010 $a0821387898 024 7 $a10.1596/978-0-8213-8779-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000113661 035 $a(EBL)765502 035 $a(OCoLC)748242163 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000566836 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12194162 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000566836 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10549672 035 $a(PQKB)10968945 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC765502 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL765502 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10506412 035 $a(OCoLC)757104443 035 $a(The World Bank)2011014933 035 $a(US-djbf)16727179 035 $a(PPN)155984209 035 $a(Perlego)1484006 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000113661 100 $a20110408d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aPower and people : $ethe benefits of renewable energy in Nepal /$fSudeshna Ghosh Banerjee, Avjeet Singh, Hussain Samad 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cWorld Bank,$d2011. 215 $axix, 112 pages $cillustrations ;$d25 cm 225 0 $aWorld Bank study 300 $a"June 2010." 311 08$a9780821387795 311 08$a0821387790 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aContents; Acronyms and Abbreviations; Acknowledgments; Executive Summary; Figures; Tables; 1.

This study has been designed to establish a monitoring system for AEPC to continually measure the results of the renewable energy programs against the targets and to organize an evaluation system that measures the impact of micro-hydro installations on rural livelihoods. Given AEPC's highly visible role, the need to develop a system that provides information on a wide range of technical, operational, and fin 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aRural electrification$zNepal 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zNepal 606 $aRural development$zNepal 615 0$aRural electrification 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aRural development 676 $a333.79/4095496 700 $aBanerjee$b Sudeshna Ghosh$f1973-$01619617 701 $aSingh$b Avjeet$01814199 701 $aSamad$b Hussain A.$f1963-$01812081 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961096503321 996 $aPower and people$94367889 997 $aUNINA
