Islam

Philip Wilkinson. DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley), $15.99 (64pp) ISBN 978-0-7894-8870-1

DK's Eyewitness series expands to take in Islam by Philip Wilkinson. The photo-heavy spreads focus on topics as primary as the Prophet Muhammad and as specific as arms and armor. Contemporary sections stress that Islam promotes tolerance between Muslims and non-Muslims and that Muslim women can be found in high-profile professions.
