The Peace Business

Money and Power in the Palestine-Israel Conflict

By: Markus Bouillon

Markus Bouillon's book makes an important and original contribution to the literature on the Middle East peace process. It is based on extensive and imaginative research and it is packed with new and fascinating material. Bouillon places the behaviour of the elites under an uncompromising lens. His work serves as a useful corrective to the conventional wisdom by highlighting the negative effects of the peace process for all but the elites in Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories. Avi Shlaim, Oxford University. "The first full-length, authoritative account of the various dimensions of business in the context of Arab-Israeli peace. ... an empirically dense and nuanced analysis" James Piscatori, Oxford University

The Maker of Pedigrees

Jakob Wilhelm Imhoff and the Meanings of Genealogy in Early Modern Europe

By: Markus Friedrich

The practice of genealogy, in particular the work of Jakob Wilhelm Imhoff from Nuremberg, Germany, a prolific and highly respected genealogical author, is a case study in how knowledge was produced and disseminated in the 17th and 18th centuries. During this time much of Europe was in the grip of a genealogical craze. Family lineages, and their display in multiple textual and visual forms, were key instruments in defining dynasties, organizing international relations, and structuring social life at large. Despite genealogy's overall impact on social, cultural, and political life, however, scholars have so far largely failed to investigate the complex knowledge economy that supported all forms of genealogical argumentation. This monograph, in fact, is the first book-length study of post-1600 continental genealogy"--

The Birth of the Archive

A History of Knowledge

By: Markus Friedrich

The Birth of the Archive traces the history of archives from their emergence in the Late Middle Ages through the Early Modern Period, and vividly shows how archives permeated and fundamentally changed European culture. Archives were compiled and maintained by peasants and kings, merchants and churchmen, and conceptions of archives were as diverse as those who used them. The complex, demanding job of the archivist was just as variable: archivists might serve as custodians, record-keepers, librarians, legal experts, historians, scholars, researchers, public officials, or some combination thereof; navigating archives was often far from straightforward. The shift of archival storage from haphazard collections of papers to the methodically organized institutionalized holdings of the nineteenth century was a gradual, nonlinear process. Friedrich provides an essential background to the history of archives over the centuries and enriches the story of their evolution with chapters on key sociocultural aspects of European archival culture. He discusses their meaning and symbolism in European thought, early modern conceptions of the archive’s function, and questions of access and usability. Exploring the close, often vexed relationship between archives and political power, Friedrich illustrates the vulnerability of archives to political upheaval and war. He concludes with an introspective look at how historians used their knowledge of and work with archives to create distinct representations of themselves and their craft. The Birth of the Archive engages with scholarship in political history, the history of mentalities, conceptions of space, historiography, and the history of everyday life in early modern Europe. It has much to offer for specialists and scholars, while the jargon-free prose of this translation is also accessible to the general reader.

Bleeding for Allah

Why Islam Will Conquer the Free World. What Americans Need to Know.

By: Markus Aurelius

Over 4 years in the making, Bleeding for Allah scrutinizes Islam from the very birth of the religion. The Koran, the Holy Book of more than one billion people worldwide, is systematically analyzed to reflect the true nature of its message. Bleeding for Allah goes the full distance in detailing the uncomfortable and painful truth of that message. Although touted as a peaceful religion and Islamic terrorists dismissed as misguided fanatics, it is clear that the very words of Allah, as voiced through the Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad, are anything but peaceful. Markus Aurelius, in concise and clear fashion, gives countless examples of Koranic verse that readily demonstrates its militancy and violence. The author speaks to cultural bias and is quite sensitive to its influence on interpretation. But the author finds it extremely difficult to dismiss countless holy verse such as: Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. (Koran, 5:51) or: Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal sternly with them. (Koran, 66:9). To further try to eliminate cultural bias, the book includes a comparative analysis of specific words between the New Testament and the Koran. For example, the words punishment and torture appear 600% more in the Koran while the word love appears 500% less. The author carefully examines the Prophet Muhammads life and outlines the gruesome details of his explosive success in the 7th century. The shrewd Prophet creatively found divine support from Allah for his banditry and mass murder. Sadly, more than one billion people believe those words today. Americans are woefully in the dark regarding the Koran. But few Americans have taken the time to read the Koran itself. Markus Aurelius challenges the American public to do just that. Bleeding for Allah is the perfect primer.
