Adamee (Middle Eastern studies, U. of Arizona) provides lay readers and serious students with a concise reference to Islamic history, religion, philosophy, and political movements. The entries describe the biographies and thought of medieval thinkers and modern members of the religious and political establishments, the major sects, schools of theology, jurisprudence, and aspects of Islamic culture. A chronology, a map, substantial cross- references, and a weighty bibliography support them. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
