Historical Atlas of the Islamic World by Malise Ruthven
Providing a perspective on Islam, this work incorporates the patterns of emigration from Muslim-majority countries and the independence of the post-Soviet Muslim states of Central Asia. The maps, which employ design techniques to show shifts in borders and populations, are supplemented by short essays on a variety of themes.
Malise Ruthven worked as an editor with the BBC Arabic Service and World Service in London before teaching Islamic studies and comparative religion at universities on both sides of the Atlantic. He is the author of several books on Islamic affairs as well as fundamentalism and religion in America. In 2004, London's Prospect Magazine ranked Ruthven among the 100 top public intellectuals in the UK. His blog on the New York Review of Books, Revolution by Latrine, won an award from the Overseas Press Club of America in 2011. He contributes regularly to the Guardian, Independent, The Financial Times, New York Review of Books, and the London Review of Books.
