War and Lighthouses reveals the untold stories of how these coastal sentinels played significant roles in military conflicts. Far from being mere navigational aids, lighthouses were integral to naval warfare, serving as crucial communication hubs and observation posts. Their strategic importance meant they were often targets, highlighting the intersection of military strategy, technology, and maritime history. The book explores how lighthouses were adapted for wartime use, from early naval strategies to modern maritime security. For example, they facilitated covert signaling and aided in tracking enemy vessels. The evolution of lighthouse technology directly impacted wartime communication, showcasing how advancements influenced military tactics. War and Lighthouses uses historical records, maps, and personal accounts to illustrate these points. Starting with the historical context of lighthouse construction, the book progresses through case studies of lighthouses targeted or defended during conflicts like the Napoleonic Wars and World War II. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how these structures shaped naval and coastal conflicts, emphasizing their surprising impact on military outcomes.

Transformations of Tradition probes how the encounter with colonial modernity conditioned Islamic jurists' conceptualizations of the shari'a. Departing from the tendency to focus on reformist-minded thinkers and politically charged issues, Junaid Quadri directs his attention towards the overlooked jurisprudential writings of Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti-i (1854-1935), Mufti of Egypt and a frequent critic of the famed reformists Muhammad 'Abduh and Rashid Rida. There, he locates a remarkable series of foundational intellectual shifts. Offering a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in the history of Islamic thought, Quadri tracks how Bakhit reworks the relationship of the shari'a to categories of understanding as fundamental as history and authority, science and technology, and religion and the secular, thereby upending the very ground upon which Islamic law had until then functioned. Through close readings of complex legal texts and mining of oft-neglected archives, this carefully researched study situates its argument in both the contested scholarly world of a quickly-changing Cairo, and the transregional school of Hanafi law as represented by jurists writing in Kazan, Lucknow, and Baghdad. Examining Islamic jurisprudential discourse in the colonial moment, Transformations of Tradition uncovers a shari'a that is neither a medieval holdover nor merely a pragmatic concession to the demands of a new world, but rather deeply entangled with the epistemological commitments of colonial modernity.
