There is no gainsaying in the verity that nations of the sphere are forced to contend with crest, optimum, nadir and nemesis. Those nations who almost always persist in being at acme have a peerless and stellar peculiarity entrenched in them, i.e. they are more pragmatic and empirical. However, the nations on the course of decline, ousting and downfall leave in the lurch nitty gritty and plump for dulcet speech-making. This is a certitude of high standing that no civilization of the world that minuses nitty gritty has ever acclimatized to the plurality settings of the macrocosm. Although, Islam places knowledge at highest level of human endeavor and repeatedly the Qur'an and the sayings of the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) urge the acquisition of knowledge. Indeed, the word knowledge, 'Ilm', is the most used after the name of the Lord of the entire macrocosm, Allah (Subhanawata'la) in the Holy Qur'an. Also the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) urged his followers to 'seek knowledge, even unto China'. But in spite of all this, the Muslim civilization in the day and age is enduring nadir and is being earmarked far and wide in the orb due to especial apologia and inducements.Musharraf Shaheen lucidly explicates the importance of empirical approach, significance of education and knowledge and voices the need to contrive the education system in such a manner that through the agency of this, Muslims get out of these angst stalemates and predicament.Read 'Paramountcy of Erudition' to find more.
Taliban militancy started in the North-West Pakistan in 2005. It grew worse with time and reached a point in 2009 when Taliban were just 60km away from Islamabad. The US Secretary of State termed it then as "existential threat" to Pakistan. The Pakistan Army has been engaging Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) since the beginning but in a way that has raised many questions. It was after 2009 that it started taking it seriously first with operation in Swat and later in South Waziristan. How was it possible for militants to hold against a professional army for so long and are still doing? Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) is now considered as hub of Al Qaeda and epicentre for the world peace. While much has been written about the conflict in Afghanistan, there is precious little work done on the conflict in North West Pakistan. This book is about how the militancy arose here, how it was promoted and how it became perverse. It records major events that have taken place in all theatres of conflict so far. It contains the role of different personalities involved and where the blame is to be placed for the deterioration of the situation in this once peaceful area. It has been brought out clearly that the then leaders of Pakistan committed one thing to the US and did another. They wanted to run with the hare and hunt with the hound. That is how it developed into a double game of historical proportion. The objective is to preserve the history of the conflict and its causes for future generations and yield policy conclusions for policy makers of today.
Modeling in Geomechanics Edited by Musharraf Zaman The University of Oklahoma, USA Giancarlo Gioda Politecnico di Milano, Italy John Booker University of Sydney, Australia Geomechanics is an interdisciplinary field involving the study of natural and man-made systems with emphasis on the mechanics of various interacting phenomena. It comprises numerous aspects of engineering and scientific disciplines, which share common bases in mathematics, mechanics and physics. In recent years, with the extraordinary growth of computing power and resources, progress in the generation of new theories and techniques for the analysis of geomechanics problems has far surpassed their actual use by practitioners. This has led to a gap between our ability to deal with complex, inter-disciplinary problems in geomechanics and the actual impact of these advances on engineering practice. This book contains contributions from an international group of accomplished researchers and practitioners from various branches of soil and rock engineering, and presents the latest theoretical developments and practical applications of modeling in geomechanics. Chapters are grouped into four main sections: * Computational procedures * Constitutive modeling and testing * Modeling and simulation * Applications Efforts have been made to include recent developments and provide suggestions and examples as to how these can be applied in modeling actual engineering problems. Researchers, practitioners and students in geomechanics, mechanics of solids, soil and rock engineering will find this book an invaluable reference.
An absorbing, joyous, and colorful collection of stories from the qissa genre. Fabulous Machinery for the Curious presents the first English translation of some of the finest texts from the qissa genre. In this book, acclaimed translator Musharraf Ali Farooqi gathers the greatest of these tales, written or transcribed in the Urdu language by master storytellers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Fabulous Machinery for the Curious brings these forgotten gems to a new generation of readers and reminds us of the abiding power that great stories and ancient genres have for engaging the contemporary world.
A finalist for the Man Asian Literary Prize, Between Clay and Dust is a moving and beautifully told story set in the tumultuous days after the Partition of India and Pakistan, about a wrestling champion and a courtesan struggling to hold onto the world they knew amidst the eruptions of history. They are both beloved paragons of a world that no longer exists, in a bewildering new reality indifferent to their art.
