An Outline of Islamic Architecture by R. A. Jairazbhoy
Price: 20 USD
An Outline of Islamic Architecture This book is arranged according to the principal regions of the Islamic world rather than on the basis of chronology or building types. Its merit is in its reliance on ancient texts, and its focus on the important and seminal monuments of Islam so that development and evolution remain clear.
The first edition was used as a core textbook in western universities until it went out of print. The present edition has been revised by the author keeping the architecture student in mind. The main strength of the book lies in its ancillary aids which make the text both student-friendly and easy to comprehend. The book contains nearly 70 architectural drawings, close to 200 half-tone plates, and separate maps of eastern and western Islam. In addition, there is a glossary of the architectural terms relevant to the study of Islamic architecture. Finally, a set of four indices covering architectural terms and features; types of buildings; architects and craftsmen; and (mainly medieval) authors greatly facilitates the use of the book

Selected Correspondence and Speeches of Liaquat Ali Khan, 1937–1947
Liaquat Ali Khan is one of the unsung heroes of the Pakistan Movement. He became Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s most trusted lieutenant, and in 1943 Jinnah called him his ‘right hand’. Almost twenty years younger than Jinnah, Liaquat established a closer working relationship with Jinnah than anyone else.
Their personal lives shared a number of attributes and they both subscribed to modernist views. Jinnah was a Gladstonian liberal, and Liaquat was strongly influenced by the poetry and thoughts of Allama Iqbal. Both had been educated in Law at the Inns of Court in London, and although Jinnah established fame and wealth at the Bar, Liaquat did not practice law. Jinnah chose Liaquat as the General Secretary of the All-India Muslim League in 1936, and over the next decade they worked to establish the League as the political voice of Muslims in South Asia and to create Pakistan. Liaquat’s work with the League and in the creation of Pakistan remains largely unappreciated.
