Ok. I'm back at work, I have a Farsi exam next week, but the thesis bibliography is taking over my life, like that
plant monster from Doctor Who.
Not content with wanting to read everything about Uzbeks & Uzbekistan, I'm widening my reading for historical, religious, politcal & social context. Items added to the list include:
Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah (trans. Franz Rosenthal);
B.F. Manz, The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane;
Marshall G.S. Hodgson, The Venture of Islam, vol 2.
et al ad infinitum.
