The Risāla of al-Shāfiʿī (d. 204/820), the earliest preserved work of Islamic legal theory, has been understood in previous scholarship as either the elaboration of a hierarchy of sources of law (Qurʾān, Sunna, consensus, and analogical reasoning) or an extended defense of the Sunna. Through a careful rereading of this celebrated text, this book offers a comprehensive reinterpretation of the Risāla, in which Shāfiʿī formulated an all-encompassing hermeneutic that portrays the law as a tightly interlocking structure organized around defined interactions of the Qurʾān and the Sunna. Topics covered include Shāfiʿī’s creative account of the law’s architectonics, hermeneutical techniques, legal epistemology, relationship to kalām, and the role of consensus (ijmāʿ).

The living/controlled polymerisation techniques opened new vistas in polymer chemistry. The leading authorities in this field and its pioneers contributed chapters to this collective volume. The controlled polymerisation techniques have enabled preparation of polymers, copolymers, and block copolymers with predetermined molecular weights and narrow polydispersity, in which functional groups or biologically active molecules could be placed at well defined locations. They have also enabled preparation of advanced polymeric structures with precisely determined architectures and improved properties. Moreover, they have provided opportunities for preparation of novel polymeric materials from monomers, which before have not been suitable or accessible for such purposes. Properties of some of these polymeric materials may be significantly different from those of the existing ones. They provide opportunities for new applications. Several patents have already been approved for such speciality applications as, drug delivery, biocompatible surfaces, thermoplastic elastomers, moisture curable sealants, and so on. Many more products, based on polymers fabricated by the living/ controlled polymerisation techniques, will certainly emerge in such specialised areas as, nanotechnology, medical devices, "smart polymers", sensors , smart separation technologies, optical fibres and other optical applications, various biomaterials, etc.
Bob Owens, an ambitious man with an ominous past, will stop at nothing to stay at the top. He soon hatches a plan to intercept perhaps the most important news that has ever broken in the medical world--news of a chemotherapy drug that has successfully treated cancer in people. When Owens enlists the help of the easily distracted Jeff Marshall in his plan, everything begins to unravel. As Marshall seduces Jennifer's beautiful and naive secretary, Jennifer gets caught in the eye of the storm. Fateful Journey weaves together these lives, motives, and desires--some less admirable than others--into a treacherous web. Author Joseph Graziano captures a story of intrigue, romance, and murder set against a seemingly idyllic 1950s Northeastern town. His debut novel will leave you gasping at the twists involved in the characters' own fateful journeys.
