Every individual, from the most profound thinker to the casual observer, is composed of atoms -?approximately 6.71?10^27 of them. These aren?t just any atoms ... they?re the same ones that construct galaxies, stars, and the vast expanse of the universe. Predominantly, we?re made of water molecules and a diverse mix of organic molecules. Intriguingly, every single one of these atoms operates under the deterministic laws of quantum electrodynamics. These laws, known since the 1950s, form the bedrock of chemistry, biology, and by extension, life as we know it. If the laws of physics fully determine the motion of every atom in our body, how could we possibly have free will -?or do we have it after all?
Is Peaceful Coexistence Possible Between Christians and Muslims?
The aim of the book is to examine the possibility for Christians and Muslims of different sects to live side by side in harmony, taking into account the considerable development of the society and sciences since the advent of these two religions. There are many similarities between the Bible and the Quran, as Prophet Muhammad had knowledge of the Bible due to his contacts with the Christian Clergy and Jewish Rabbis. Prophet Muhammad with his logical analytical mind discussed the different interpretations of the Evangels with Christians of different sects and later discussed the Torah with Jewish Rabbis in Yathrib (Medina), and reached certain conclusions that he expressed in a book "revealed" to him in Arabic language where he tried to correct the misinterpretations of the Bible by others, to serve as a guide for his people. An in-depth reading of the Bible and the Quran reveals the difference in Prophet Muhammad's life in Mecca before the death of his first wife Khadija and her uncle the Arian Christian priest Waraka, when he followed the Christian approach in peacefully calling for the belief in a Single God, lead a monogamous life, and after his migration to Medina where he had as neighbours the Jewish Rabbis. Here the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad witnessed a deep transformation, thereafter emulating that of Israeli Prophets/kings David and Solomon, in his polygamous marriages and his wars to establish an earthly Muslim Arab State, in sharp contrast with the Heavenly Kingdom preached by Jesus Christ. In spite of the "improvements" entered into the Quran over those of the Torah, the Quran remains a constitution that appropriated much of its components from Moses Law. Even if the ideas In the Torah and the Quran were inspired by God, the tools who revealed them to mankind were humane, using the reasoning and language expression capabilities of human imperfect persons, the level of their scientific knowledge and the traditions of their societies. They were written with the level of writing skills of their time, mostly from memories, tens and hundreds of years after the death of Moses, Jesus Christ and Muhammad. Hand copying these scriptures and translating them during centuries, many mistakes must have occurred. The above leads us to conclude that the Bible and the Quran cannot be literally the words of God. Christians and Muslims should strive to interpret the Bible and the Quran basing their interpretation on reason, logic and nowadays scientific knowledge, and where necessary deleting the incorrect insertions. As we cannot accept many rules of Moses's Law, similarly we cannot accept the Quran's Shari'a Law covering wars of conquest in Allah's name, the notion that the Muslim Nation is the best nation, killing the apostate, payment of tribute by non-Muslims, plunder of women, slavery, polygamy, inequality between men and women in tribunals and inheritance, lashing adulterers, cutting hands and feet. Ignorance is the main cause of human misery.
The Cost of Colonialism

The Cost of Colonialism

Samir Patil

C HURST CO PUBLISHERS LTD
2026
sidottu
A shrewd, unsentimental inspection of the archives, laying bare the charge-sheet against the British and their economic policy in India: the numbers don’t lie. With colonialism debates raging worldwide, when it comes to India, a whole spectrum of Empire-defenders—apologists, cheerleaders and full-blown racial supremacists—face off against outlandish claims of trillions owed and obsessions with stolen precious artefacts. Yet where is the complete and rigorous economic case against Britain? This book offers a comprehensive account detailing the real cost of British rule on the subcontinent: the catastrophic, centuries-long stagnation of Indian living standards. In 1947, at independence, about 400 million people in undivided India lived on less than $1,000 per year—a third of the global average income, and just an eleventh of the UK average. To reach British income levels, India would have needed to add an economy equivalent in size to half the world. The Cost of Colonialism combines historical narratives and characters with hard data from the archives, explaining how and why India fell so staggeringly far behind during the British era, and why the British failed so spectacularly in growing the economy, when a more prosperous India would have been in their interests. Assessing what life had been like previously, under the Mughals, and how living standards improved after independence, Samir Patil delivers a damning indictment of the Empire.
Enhancing Stochastic Petri Nets with Reconfigurability

Enhancing Stochastic Petri Nets with Reconfigurability

Samir Tigane; Laid Kahloul; Abdelhamid Mellouk

ISTE LTD
2025
sidottu
This book explores the world of reconfigurable stochastic Petri nets (RSPNs), a powerful method for modeling and verifying complex, dynamic and reconfigurable systems. As modern discrete-event systems become increasingly flexible, requiring structural adaptability at runtime, classical Petri nets are proving insufficient. This book presents innovative extensions to Petri nets, offering enhanced modeling capabilities for reconfigurable systems, while ensuring efficient verification. Through a structured approach, this book introduces reconfigurable generalized stochastic Petri nets (RecGSPNs), an advanced framework that integrates reconfigurability while preserving crucial system properties such as liveness, boundedness and deadlock-freedom. This book systematically explores modeling techniques, including stochastic reward nets and dynamic topology transformations, demonstrating their effectiveness through quantitative and qualitative analyses. By addressing challenges in state-space explosion and computational complexity, this book provides essential methodologies for researchers and practitioners working on reconfigurable systems, and serves as a valuable resource for those working in network security, manufacturing systems and distributed computing, where dynamic reconfigurations are essential.
Commercial Arbitration in the Arab Middle East: Shari'a, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt
In this second edition of Samir Saleh's major work on commercial arbitration in the Arab Middle East, the basic format has been maintained, while the author, drawing upon his intimate knowledge of the region and considerable practical experience as an arbitrator, has completely revised and updated the book so that it offers a fully modern account of domestic commercial arbitration practice, with an international dimension, under the sharia and in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. The first part of the book, dealing with sharia, continues to draw on the four major sources of sharia, with illustrations taken from the four main Sunni schools that have influenced its development. This part underpins all the remaining chapters which deal in turn with different national systems, building on the discussion by reference to local statutes, judicial precedents and commentaries. Detailed analysis of law and practice is supported by extensive footnoting, guidance on further reading, and insights into the prevailing business practices within each country. For practising lawyers and arbitrators a feature which will be particularly welcome is the inclusion of up-to-date discussion of practice and procedure for the execution and enforcement of domestic and foreign awards, and the legal pitfalls awaiting the unwary. The new edition has also been considerably amplified to include international aspects of arbitration as reflected in judicial decisions and academic commentary in each territory.
Obsolescent Capitalism

Obsolescent Capitalism

Samir Amin

Zed Books Ltd

'Globalization is just another word for US dominance' - Henry Kissinger Capitalism is going senile. Its ambition is now restricted to maintaining the wealth of the wealthy in the world, while the poor, condemned to remain out of the loop, are increasingly demonized as the enemy. This is the theme of Samir Amin's major new book, in which the celebrated analyst presents a synoptic view of capitalism's future. He depicts a world in which NATO and socalled coalitions of the willing have taken over the role of the United Nations, in which US hegemony is more or less complete, in which millions are condemned to die in order to preserve the social order of the US, Europe and Japan. Samir Amin's analyses of the Gulf War, the wars in former Yugoslavia and the war in Central Asia reveal the scope of US strategic aims. He explains why Macdonald's hamburgers need McDonnell-Douglas's F-16s, arguing that the political and military dimension of US dominance is as significant as US economic preponderance in determining the future of capitalist development - with the recent US invasion and occupation of Iraq being a confirmation of Amin's prescient thesis.
Beyond US Hegemony

Beyond US Hegemony

Samir Amin

Zed Books Ltd
2006

In this major new work - the result of a lifetime of intellectual engagement - one of the developing world's most famous thinkers reflects on the times we live in. He argues that US hegemony has reached a dangerous new level under George Bush Jr, and that the US President's hubristic militarism will both lead to a never-ending cycle of wars and block all hopes of social and democratic progress, not just in developing countries, but in the North as well. Samir Amin also rejects the highly ideological notion that the current form of neoliberal capitalism - 'really existing capitalism' in which imperialism is an integral and permanent part - is an inevitable future for humanity, or in fact socially or politically tolerable. At the same time, he is not opposed to globalization as such; indeed he believes the whole world today is irrevocably connected, and that solidarity in diversity is the key to the struggle for a better world. In the body of the book, Amin provides a perspicacious analysis of tendencies within the rich countries - the US, Europe and Japan; the rising powers - China and India; the likely future trajectory of post-Soviet Russia; and the developing world. The central question he pursues is whether there are other hegemonic blocs that may emerge in time to circumscribe American power, and constrain free market capitalism and force it to adjust to demands other than its narrow central economic logic. This important and thought-provoking book identifies the key global campaigns Samir feels progressives should launch around the world. 'Another world is possible.' But, he warns, the diverse citizens' movements loosely gathered together in the World Social Forum must bite the political bullet and recognise that they can only transform the world if they seek political power.

Samir Amin, one of the twentieth century's leading radical intellectuals, has lived his personal and political life at the intersection of various cultures and international progressive currents - from Egypt to France to West Africa, from communism to national-liberation socialism, Maoism and finally a mature anti-imperialism. His memoirs are not only a fascinating personal narrative but a penetrating historical-political analysis, as well as an introduction to his most important theoretical contributions. They offer a unique vantage point for observing the operations of global capitalism and the evolution, crises and potentialities of radical movements, especially in the third world. This book will be invaluable not only to readers interested in Amin's profoundly influential work or in the history of the global left but to anyone concerned with today's worldwide struggles against capitalist globalization.

Passionately written and brilliantly argued, this rallying cry for change has now been heard by millions.
Difficult Cases in Primary Care

Difficult Cases in Primary Care

Samir Razaq

Radcliffe Publishing Ltd
2014

In many paediatric cases the definitive diagnosis may not be made in the primary care setting, but this is where suspicions are often raised. General practitioners are, therefore, required to maintain a breadth of knowledge covering the specialty. Following the highly successful Difficult Cases in Primary Care series format, this invaluable guide outlines case scenarios followed by highly detailed explanations of the specific conditions and their management, presenting the symptoms in a way that are likely to be encountered in general practice. Each case also includes questions for examination practice with detailed answers and comprehensive explanations included at the end of the book. This mimics the arrangement of the objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs) that many candidates are required to undertake and provides the ideal opportunity for self-examination and comprehensive revision. 'The 2-day-old newborn with jaundice represents a completely different diagnostic dilemma to the 16-year-old presenting with jaundice. No other specialty has to deal with such rapidly changing physiology and, hence, changing probabilities of differential diagnoses.' Samar Razaq in the Preface
Lessons of Lebanon

Lessons of Lebanon

Samir A Makdisi

Since 1945, over 200 intra-state conflicts have taken place in countries that achieved independence from colonial rule after World War II. The case of Lebanon offers a striking illustration of these interlocking influences on projects of national economics development. The persistently sectarian nature of the country's political instutions, the relatively poor quality of governance and the major civil war that engulfed the country from 1975 to 1990, together define not only the context in which the achievements and failures of Lebanese development must be assessed, but also the continuing challenges that it must face in the era of globalization. This text offers an in-depth analysis of Lebanese economic development during the second half of the 20th century, with special emphasis on the civil war and its aftermath. Makdisi offers a definitive assessment of the principal phases of national development since Lebanese independence in the 1940s, and a study of those conditions requisite for sustainable development for Lebanon, as for many other developing countries.

Aid to Africa

Aid to Africa

Samir Amin; Demba Moussa Dembele; Patrick Bond

Pambazuka Press
2009
pokkari
While Africa is the biggest recipient of aid globally, the terms, conditions and principles upon which aid is delivered are rarely defined by the people of Africa - although it is for them that this aid, at least rhetorically, is meant to create positive change. With the current global economic crisis and high-level meetings on aid effectiveness, the debate on aid to Africa is resurgent. Coming from the diverse perspectives of African social commentators, academics and activists including Demba Moussa Dembele, Patrick Bond, Samir Amin and Charles Mutasa, this comprehensive volume explores the premise, history and foundation upon which the concept of aid is based. It considers aid's relationship to the broader development discourse in Africa, the politics and power dynamics of aid mechanisms and how the emergence of powers such as China and India are redefining the global aid architecture. Aid to Africa considers how to create a more just aid system that contributes to Africa's development while also elaborating alternative approaches that understand the inherent inequity of aid.Critically, this book provides a framework not merely to render aid more effective, something which the current mainstream discourse is grappling to define, but to create an alternative African development paradigm from Pan-Africanist, feminist and other perspectives.
