Up to the twentieth century, Islamic charitable endowments provided the material foundation of the Muslim world. In Lebanon, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the imposition of French colonial rule, many of these endowments reverted to private property circulating in the marketplace. In contemporary Beirut, however, charitable endowments have resurfaced as mosques, Islamic centers, and nonprofit organizations. A historical anthropology in dialogue with Islamic law, God's Property demonstrates how these endowments have been drawn into secular logics—no longer the property of God but of the Muslim community—and shaped by the modern state and modern understandings of charity and property. Although these transformations have produced new kinds of loyalties and new ways of being in society, Moumtaz’s ethnography reveals the furtive persistence of endowment practices that perpetuate older ways of thinking of one’s self and one’s responsibilities toward family and state.

Jack London's 'The Call of the Wild & White Fang' is a compelling dual-narrative exploring the untamed wilderness and the instinctual drive for survival. The first story follows Buck, a domestic dog forced into the harsh life of a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush, while the second story delves into the life of White Fang, a wild wolf-dog hybrid struggling to find his place in a brutal world. London's vivid descriptions and raw emotion make these tales resonate with readers of all ages, showcasing the timeless theme of man versus nature. The juxtaposition of domestication and wildness creates a thought-provoking narrative that lingers with the reader long after the final page. Jack London's own experiences as a adventurer and sailor in the Yukon Territory undoubtedly influenced the setting and tone of his stories. His deep connection to the natural world shines through in his writing, capturing the essence of survival and resilience in the face of adversity. I highly recommend 'The Call of the Wild & White Fang' to those who enjoy tales of adventure, survival, and the indomitable spirit of the wilderness. London's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this book a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers around the world.
