In 2016, two books by renowned scholars appeared, offering a general overview Tof the subject addressed to both specialists and a larger audience.2 Previous recent studies had focused on specific historical aspects, such as the presence of messianic trends in the caliphate’s conception and the extent of the caliph’s authority.3 The abolition of the Ottoman caliphate in 1924 has also been a subject of analysis.4 That abolition—not the first one to happen in the history of Islam, as we shall see—caused special commotion among different sectors of the Islamic community, including Egyptian intellectuals who were re-thinking the place of Islam in the modern world, and Indian Muslims under British colonial rule.5 The abolition had less of an impact in the former North African Ottoman * We want to express our deep gratitude to Antoine Borrut and Matthew Gordon for their invaluable help in editing this dossier.

  • Science and the Public Interest an Open Letter to President-Elect Trump and the 115Th Congress
    Science and the Public Interest An Open Letter to President-Elect Trump and the 115th Congress Scientific knowledge has played a critical role in making the United States a powerful and prosperous nation and improving the health and well-being of Americans and people around the world. From disease outbreaks to climate change to national security to technology innovation, people benefit when our nation’s policies are informed by science unfettered by inappropriate political or corporate influence. To build on this legacy and extend the benefits of science to all people, including Americans who have been left behind, the federal government must support and rely on science as a key input for crafting public policy. Policy makers and the public alike require access to high-quality scientific information to serve the public interest. There are several actions Congress and the Trump administration should take to strengthen the role that science plays in policy making. First, creating a strong and open culture of science begins at the top. Federal agencies should be led by officials with demonstrated track records of respecting science as a critical component of decision making. Further, recognizing that diversity makes science stronger, administration officials should welcome and encourage all scientists regardless of religious background, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Second, Congress and the Trump administration should ensure our nation’s bedrock public health and environmental laws—such as the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act—retain a strong scientific foundation, and that agencies are able to freely collect and draw upon scientific data to effectively carry out statutory responsibilities established by these laws.

  • Hostages and the Dangers of Cultural Contact: Two Cases from Umayyad Cordoba*
    MARIBEL FIERRO Hostages and the Dangers of Cultural Contact: Two Cases from Umayyad Cordoba* Hostages are captives of a peculiar sort. Rather than having been captured during war, they are in the hands of the enemy as free persons who have temporarily lost their freedom, either because they were given and kept as a pledge (for example, for the fulfilment of a treaty) or in order to act as a substitute for someone who has been taken prisoner1. The prisoner, usually an important person, can regain his or her freedom under certain conditions, usually by the payment of a ransom. When those conditions are fulfilled, the hostage is released. In the medieval period, the taking of hostages was linked to conquest, the establishment of treaties, and the submission of rebels. The Spanish word for »hostage« (rehén, pl. rehenes) derives from the Arabic root r.h.n (which produces, in Classical Arabic, rāhin, pl. rahāʾin)2, and this origin attests to the fact that the practice of taking hostages was widespread in medieval Iberia and more generally in the Mediterranean3. The Muslims had not, however, invented it4. We lack specific studies dealing with hostages in Islamic lands and the procedures related to their taking and release, as well as their life as hostages, in spite of the fact that medieval historical and, more generally, literary sources are full of references to this widespread, persistent, and accepted practice which had advantages for both par- * This paper was undertaken as part of the project »Knowledge, heresy and political culture in the Islamic West (second/eighth–ninth/fifteenth centuries) = KOHEPOCU«, F03049 Advanced Research Grant, European Research Council (2009–2014).

  • Clima Te Change 2007 – Synthesis Repor T
    he Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up jointly by the World Meteorological Organization and the TUnited Nations Environment Programme to provide an authoritative international statement of scientific understanding of climate change. The IPCC’s periodic assessments of the causes, impacts and possible response strategies to climate change are the most comprehensive and up-to-date reports available on the subject, and form the standard reference for all concerned with climate change in academia, government and industry worldwide. This Synthesis Report is the fourth element of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report “Climate Change 2007”. Through three working groups, many hundreds of international experts assess climate change in this Report. The three working group contributions are available from Cambridge University Press: Climate Change 2007 – The Physical Science Basis Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC (ISBN 978 0521 88009-1 Hardback; 978 0521 70596-7 Paperback) Climate Change 2007 – Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Contribution of Working Group II to the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC (978 0521 88010-7 Hardback; 978 0521 70597-4 Paperback) Climate Change 2007 – Mitigation of Climate Change CHANGE 2007 – SYNTHESIS REPORT CLIMATE Contribution of Working Group III to the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC (978 0521 88011-4 Hardback; 978 0521 70598-1 Paperback) Climate Change 2007 – Synthesis Report is based on the assessment carried out by the three Working Groups

  • Susan Solomon National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, USA
    One Hundred Reasons to be a Scientist SCIENCE OFFERS AN IMPORTANT INPUT Susan Solomon National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, USA I began life in Chicago, and first got hooked on science watching the undersea adventures of Jacques Cousteau on TV. In high school, my confidence that science was the right choice for me was boosted when I was lucky enough to take third place in a nationwide science fair with a project that measured the amount of oxygen in gas mixtures. While in undergraduate school studying chemistry at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, I was fascinated to learn of work being done regarding the chemistry of the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter. That’s what started me on the path to doing chemistry on a planet instead of in a test tube. After graduating from IIT I went to © Courtesy of Carlye Calvin graduate school in chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. My doctoral dissertation was about chemistry on a planet—not Jupiter but on Earth. I earned my doctorate in chemistry in 1981. Prior to the discovery of the ozone hole, my work focused on what you might call some esoteric aspects of understanding the atmosphere. I was looking at things like the impact of natural factors including the aurora on the chemistry of the mesosphere, thermosphere, and stratosphere. Then the ozone hole was discovered, and that changed everything. I was intrigued by the observation, and one of the first things I thought about, coming from this mesosphere/thermosphere kind of work, was whether reactive nitrogen from phenomena like solar protons could be responsible.

The Big Idea funded essential classroom resources and technology upgrades to empower young students’ desire to learn. These kids are amazing and we are so proud to be able to help nurture them on the path to their future.
