This book aims to discuss religious scrupulousness (al-wara') - an important phenomenon in Islamic spirituality and tradition in the 3rd/9th century. Through the study of hadith compilations devoted to piety the author tries not only to define the concept of scrupulousness itself, but also to present the world of Muslim scholars who composed these collections of traditions. An important aspect of the book will be a discussion of a possible social impact of religious scrupulousness as well as of its cultural context. Thus, another examined subject will be the link of religious scrupulousness with the Islamic eschatology, as well as with the visions of the Hereafter.On the whole, religious scrupulousness will be analysed as one of the portents of changes occurring in the Islamic society and civilisation in the 3rd/9th century, when new forms of piety are accompanied by apocalyptic fears and anxieties.

ISBN: 0750680628

The passing of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill in the UK and increasing public and investor pressure for good Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility, means organizations now, more than ever, need to ensure they do all they can to prevent major accidents. However, past experience shows that just implementing safety management systems is not enough and this book makes the case for a more holistic and ethical approach to improving corporate systems as a whole. Preventing Corporate Accidents shows how major accidents can result from human error and defects in corporate systems. The book describes accident prevention strategies, from safety culture, safety management systems, foresight and planning to safety regulations, corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility and the learning organization. Barry Whittingham illustrates with international case studies from various industries how and why these defences have failed in the past, and more importantly, how to strengthen corporate systems to prevent future major accidents. The case studies include: The loss of the space shuttle Columbia Infant heart surgery at Bristol Royal Infirmary The Davis-Besse nuclear power plant incident The fire and explosion at the Conoco-Phillips Humber oil refinery Herald of Free Enterprise and Southall rail accident manslaughter prosecutions This book is essential reading for all those with a professional interest in health and safety management, the control of major risk and accident prevention, in particular for directors, senior managers and health & safety professionals in high-hazard industries and public operations, such as nuclear, chemicals, construction, oil and gas, energy, manufacturing and transportation. Barry Whittingham has worked as a senior manager, design engineer and consultant for the chemical, nuclear, offshore, oil and gas, railway and aviation sectors. He developed a career as a safety consultant specializing in the human factors aspects of accident causation. Barry is a Fellow of the Safety and Reliability Society.

Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection

In Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection: Designation, Discrimination, and Brutalization, Thomas W. Simon examines a new framework for considering ethnic conflicts. In contrast to the more traditional theories of justice, Simon's theory of injustice shifts focus away from group identity toward group harms, effectively making many problems, such as how to define minorities in international law, dramatically more manageable. Simon argues that instead of promoting legislative devices like proportional representation for minorities, it is more fruitful to seek adjudicative solutions to racial and ethnic-related conflicts. For example, resources could be shifted to quasi-judicial human-rights treaty bodies that have adopted an injustice approach. This injustice approach provides the foundation for Kosovo's case for remedial secession, and helps to sort out the competing entitlement claims of Malays in different countries. Indeed, the priority of Thomas W. Simon's Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection is to ensure the tales of designation and discrimination told at the beginning of the work do not become the stories of brutalization told at the end. In short, the challenge tackled in this text is to assure that reason reigns over hate.
