520    This significant new work focuses on the formation and 
       disintegration of Arab-Muslim rule and society in Sicily 
       and south Italy between 800 and 1300 which led to the 
       creation of an enduring Muslim-Christian frontier during 
       the age of the Crusades. It examines the long and short-
       term impact of Islamic authority and culture on these 
       regions and how they later fell into the hands of European
       rulers, explaining how the Norman conquest of Sicily came 
       to import radically different dynamics to the central 
       Mediterranean. The change of ruling elites left a majority
       Muslim population under Christian rule, but the Sicilian 
       kings also adopted and adapted political ideologies from 
       south Mediterranean regimes while absorbing cultural 
       influences from the diverse peoples over whom they ruled. 
       This work provides an engaging, expert and wide-ranging 
       introduction to the subject and offers fresh and clear 
       insights into the politico-religious, socio-economic and 
       cultural evolution of Europe and the Islamic world. --
