The book is based on an imaginary long-lost manuscript by Ian Alexander Bell Robertson entitled \"Some Observations on the State of the Canadian Northwest in 1811.\" Robertson, a friend of Lord Selkirk and Sir Walter Scott, was invented by Ross in order to integrate into the test remarks by such contemporary observers as David Thompson, Daniel Harmon, Peter Fidler, and Alexander Mackenzie. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a picture of the Northwest at it was immediately prior first white settlement, based on sources that would have been available to a writer at that time. The arrival of the first agricultural pioneers in the Northwest in 1811 marked the beginning of the end of the era of the Indian and the fur trade, and the first faltering steps towards permanent settlement which later was to change the face of the West, a face which had remained for many centuries virtually unscarred by the hand of man. The Northwest of 1811, still in its natural state, is well worth knowing today, not only as a backdrop against which to project the fur trade during its most exciting period, but also as a starting point for modern studies of the geography and history of the region\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52592915153169,"sku":"NLS9780802061881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780802061881.jpg?v=1786442124"},{"product_id":"sufi-city-book-eric-ross-9781580462174","title":"Sufi City","description":"A book about contemporary urban design, a metaphysical worldview and a cultural process that transcends the pre-colonial\/colonial\/post-colonial divides.\n\nSufi City: Urban Design and Archetypes in Touba is a geographical study of the modern Muslim holy city of Touba in Senegal, capital of the Mouride Sufi order. Touba was founded in 1887 by a Sufi shaykh in a moment of mysticillumination. Since the death of the founder in 1927, the Mouride order has designed and built the entire city. Touba is named for Tûbâ, the \"Tree of Paradise\" of Islamic tradition. This archetypal tree articulates Islamic conceptions of righteous life on earth, divine judgment, and access to the Hereafter; the city of Touba actualizes this spiritual construct. Important aspects of its configuration, such as the vertical and horizontal alignment of its monumental central shrine complex, its radiating avenues and encircling ring roads, and the actual trees that mark its landscape relate directly to the archetypal tree of Sufi theosophy. \n The relationship between the spiritualarchetype and its earthly actualization as a city is explained by recourse to Sufi methodology. The book employs a semiotic analysis of urban form, cartography, hermeneutics, field investigation and analysis of satellite imagery in order to relate contemporary urban design issues to overarching metaphysical concepts. Sufi City also explores the history of urban networks in Senegal since the emergence of autonomous Muslim towns in the seventeenth century. Finally, the layout of Senegal's modern Sufi cities is related to the monumental palaver trees that marked that country's historic settlements.\n\n  Eric S. Ross is a cultural and urban geographer who holds a degree inIslamic Studies. Since 1998 he has been Assistant Professor of Geography at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco. Apart from research on Sufi orders and Muslim towns in Senegal, he has studied cultural tourism and urban planning in Morocco.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52675607691537,"sku":"NLS9781580462174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52996023746833,"sku":"NIN9781580462174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781580462174.jpg?v=1786131143"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-eric-ross.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
