Hawting summarizes Hinds' career and publications, including a couple of paragraphs on each article in this book. He published only eight journal articles, which are collected in this volume along with one article from The Encyclopedia of Islam, second edition. The original pagination of each article is provided in the margin. An introduction by G.R. The physical production of the book is satisfying to the eye and hand: Darwin Press is to be congratulated and thanked, as are the editors. Hinds was very much a historian who tried to understand human events and their causes, but he was also a superb Arabist, completely fluent in the literary and spoken v
