"It is difficult to imagine a more thoughtful, balanced, or comprehensive treatment of this extremely elusive and difficult subject." -- Digest of Middle East Studies This second edition of a widely acclaimed collection of essays reports on how new media -- fax machines, satellite television, and the Internet -- and the new uses of older media -- cassettes, pulp fiction, the cinema, the telephone, and the press -- shape belief, authority, and community in the Muslim world.
"Too Much, Too Soon?" tackles the burning question of how to nurture young children's well being and learning to reverse the erosion of childhood.
