A city planner by trade, author Jeff Speck has spent his
career advocating for smart growth and sustainable design and has written a
truly energetic and entertaining book about the compelling case for walkability
in our cities. Amply researched and well
written, Speck convincingly makes the argument that great streets matter more
than buildings, and more importantly, people who walk on them are far more
crucial than the cars that are driven on them.

Mustafa Akyol’s newest volume is an intriguing
exploration of the Muslim perception of Jesus based upon Middle Eastern history
and a well-developed understanding of all three Abrahamic religions. In this fascinating bridge between
Christianity and Islam, the author delves into the divide between the Christian
theology developed by Paul and that developed by James and the similarities
with the Quran’s theological concept of Jesus. Utilizing a conversational
style, the author puts forward an invaluable review for readers interested in
the intertwining history of the Muslim and Christian religions or understanding
more about Islam in general.
