330			_aUnparalleled in its range of topics and geographical scope, the sixth and final volume of The New Cambridge History of Islam provides a comprehensive overview of Muslim culture and society since 1800. Robert Hefner's thought provoking account of the political and intellectual transformation of the Muslim world introduces the volume, which proceeds with twenty five essays by luminaries in their fields through a broad range of topics. These include develop ments in society and population, religious thought and Islamic law, Muslim views of modern politics and economics, education and the arts, cinema and new media. The essays, which highlight the diversity and richness of Islamic civilisation, engage with regions right across the Islamic world from the heartiands of the Middle East and Asia, through new territories in Europe and the Americas. Narratives are clear and engaging and will fascinate all those curious about the momentous changes that have taken place among the world's 1.7 billion Muslims in the last two centuries.
