Studies in Ibadhism by Dr. Amr k. Al-Nami


Description:

As Ibadhis have always lived in simple remote communities their laws were not affected by changes of environment or time, and remained in their original form. Ibadhis always tried to live according to the divine law, and to adapt it wherever they were and at all time. Special rules for the different stages of politico – religious situations were formed at an early stage according to which the Ibadhi community had to maintain its existence.

There remains a great deal to be done to form a clearer picture of the Ibadhi communities and their development in different fields of activity. Very little is known about the present situation in the various Ibadhi countries and these Ibadhi communities need close study. There is still also a large body of original Ibadhi works on Hadith, law, theology, history and to their files of knowledge which deserves attention, and an extensive amount of new material awaits patient examination and thorough inspection in order to have a more complete view of the Ibadhi school.

GENERAL NOTES
"This work was originally the English part of a thesis submitted to Cambridge University in 1971 for the Ph.D. D. degree" The publication is made without any alteration. The Arabic texts of that thesis will be published separate in due course.

Manual of Surgery by Alexis Thomson and Alexander Miles

Description:
Much has happened since this Manual was last revised, and many surgical lessons have been learned in the hard school of war. Some may yet have to be unlearned, and others have but little bearing on the problems presented to the civilian surgeon. Save in its broadest principles, the surgery of warfare is a thing apart from the general surgery of civil life, and the exhaustive literature now available on every aspect of it makes it unnecessary that it should receive detailed consideration in a manual for students. In preparing this new edition, therefore, we have endeavoured to incorporate only such additions to our knowledge and resources as our experience leads us to believe will prove of permanent value in civil practice.

Jokes For All Occasions by Edward J.Clode

From Preface:

The ways of telling a story are as many as the tellers themselves. It is impossible to lay down precise rules by which any one may perfect himself in the art, but it is possible to offer suggestions by which to guide practise in narration toward a gratifying success.

From Introduction:

The French are admirable in both wit and humor, and the humor is usually kindly, though the shafts of wit are often barbed. I remember a humorous picture of a big man shaking a huge trombone in the face of a tiny canary in its cage, while he roars in anger: "That's it! Just as I was about, with the velvety tones of my instrument, to imitate the twittering of little birds in the forest, you have to interrupt with your infernal din!" The caustic quality of French wit is illustrated plenteously by Voltaire. There is food for meditation in his utterance: "Nothing is so disagreeable as to be obscurely hanged." He it was, too, who sneered at England for having sixty religions and only one gravy. To an adversary in argument who quoted the minor prophet Habakkuk, he retorted contemptuously: "A person with a name like that is capable of saying anything."
