Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim world - Martin, Richard C. (New York : Macmillan Reference USA : Thomson/Gale, 2004)
'This two-volume set on Islam is a timely resource aimed at the general reader. More than 500 articles, 200-5,000 words in length, describe the Islamic world from its known beginnings to the present day. A'Synoptic Outline of Entries' at the beginning of volume one presents a thematic overview of the encyclopedia that facilitates browsing. A glossary of terms and a pronunciation key appear at the end of volume two, followed by genealogies, timelines, and a detailed index.'--'Reference that rocks,' American Libraries, May 2005.
