law,
and
a
code
of
ethics?
I
believe
that
the
bulk
of
Islamic
thought
today is either a repetition and
regurgitation often distorted by
oversimplifications—of
what
the
ancients
have
said,
or
an
adaptation
and
projection
in
which
ideology
replaces
real
knowledge,
or a
discussion of partial issues which lacks a comprehensive view and a
clear
theoretical
framework.
What
Islamic
thought
produces
today
is
at best a voicing of intentions and a proclamation of desiderata. It
constantly refers to the difficulty of achieving its own declared aims
and,
rather
than
making
any
explicit
statements,
resorts
to
allusions
in an attempt to dissimulate and to play safe.

On
any
list
of
the
world’s
most
spectacular
islands,
Kauai
ranks
right
up
there
with
Bora
Bora,
Huahine,
and
Rarotonga.
All
the
elements
are here: moody rainforests, majestic cliffs, jagged peaks, emerald
valleys, palm trees swaying in the breeze, daily rainbows, and some
of the most spectacular golden beaches you’ll find anywhere. Soft
tropical
air,
sunrise
bird
song, essences of ginger and plumeria,
golden
sunsets,
sparkling
waterfalls—you
don’t
just
go
to
Kauai,
you
absorb it with every sense. It may get more than its fair share of
tropical downpours.

Knights and the Russian city-state of Novgorod, led by its
inspirational
leader
Alexandre
Nevskii.
The
Teutonic
Knights
were
a
powerful
military
order,
backed
with
the
crusading
zeal
of Europe, the
blessing of the Pope and the support of the Holy Roman Emperor.
This battle, although little-known in the west, was important in the
history of the medieval eastern crusades, the Teutonic defeat having
a
serious
effect
on
future
events.
David
Nicolle's
excellent
text
examines
the
Crusade
against
Novgorod
and
the
fierce
fighting
around the frozen shores of Lake Peipus.

This
new
edition
of
the
bestselling
Learning
XML
provides web
developers with a concise but grounded understanding of
XML (the
Extensible
Markup
Language)
and
its
potential--
not
just
a
whirlwind
tour of XML. The author explains the important and relevant XML
technologies
and
their
capabilities
clearly
and
succinctly
with plenty of
real-life projects and useful examples. He outlines the elements of
markup--demystifying concepts such as attributes, entities, and
namespaces--and provides enough depth and examples to get
started.
Learning
XML
is
a
reliable
source
for
anyone
who
needs
to
know XML, but doesn't want to waste time wading through hundreds
of
web
sites
or
800
pages
of
bloated
text.
For
writers
producing
XML
documents,
this
book
clarifies
files
and
the
process
of
creating
them
with the appropriate structure and format. Designers will learn what
parts of XML are most helpful to their team and will get started on
creating
Document
Type
Definitions.
For
programmers,
the
book
makes
syntax
and
structures
clear.
Learning
XML
also
discusses
the
stylesheets
needed
for
viewing
documents
in
the
next
generation
of
browsers,
databases,
and
other
devices.
Learning
XML
illustrates
the
core
XML concepts and language syntax, in addition to important
related tools such as the CSS and XSL styling languages and the
XLink and XPointer specifications for creating rich link structures. It
includes information about three schema languages for validation:
W3C
Schema,
Schematron,
and
RELAX-NG,
which
are
gaining
widespread
support
from
people
who
need
to validate
documents
but
aren't satisfied with DTDs. Also new in this edition is a chapter on
XSL-FO, a powerful formatting language for XML.
