Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Story of Fun and Games: A Journey Through TimeFrom Senet and the Royal Game of Ur to mahjong, Monopoly, Scrabble, and D&D-discover how play shaped culture, cognition, and community.Spanning 5,000 years, this richly written, research-driven book traces how simple tools-dice, tiles, cards, boards, and character sheets-became engines of fairness, strategy, and storytelling. You'll travel from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Silk Road, from the rise of chess to the industrial boom of mass-market classics, and into today's cooperative and role-playing renaissance.the-story-of-fun-and-games-a-jo.Inside, you'll find: Clear timelines & vivid stories: Senet, the Royal Game of Ur, Go/Weiqi, chaturangashatranjchess, pachisi & Snakes and Ladders, Mamluk playing cardsEuropean suits, dominoes, mahjong, and modern icons like Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, Catan, Pandemic, and Ticket to Ride.Design made simple: how materials (wood, ivory, faience, paper, plastics) shaped rules-and how great component design teaches before a rule is read.Chance & skill demystified: from knucklebones to probability, risk management, and how randomness can be engineered to feel fair.Play with purpose: classroom-ready "Action Steps," prompts for families and clubs, and insights for designers and educators.Cultural meaning: games as moral storytelling, civic ritual, and tools for attention, negotiation, and cooperation.Perfect for: curious readers, teachers, museum and library programs, tabletop fans, and game designers seeking timeless patterns.What you'll take away: a sweeping history you can use-a toolkit to "read" any game (scarcity, uncertainty, information flow, affordances), plus practical ideas to host better play and design clearer experiences.Open the box. See how small rules created big worlds-and why play still organizes people, time, and possibility. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Uthman's Assassination and the First Fitna is a clear, source-critical history of the crisis that reshaped the seventh-century Muslim community-from the siege in Medina (35 AH / 656 CE) to the rise of Umayyad rule (41 AH / 661 CE).Moving chapter by chapter, it reconstructs how local grievances in Egypt, Kufa, and Basra escalated into a general rebellion; how the killing of the caliph Uthman ibn Affan unfolded and was remembered; why rival coalitions formed around Ali ibn Abi alib and Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan; and how the battles of the Camel and iffin, the arbitration, and the emergence of the Kharijites changed ideas of authority, justice, and communal order. The narrative then follows al-asan's settlement with Muawiya and the consolidation of a Syrian-centered state.What sets this book apart is its method. Reports from early Arabic chronicles are weighed against administrative habits, papyri, coin sequences, and non-Arabic notices; claims are presented in graded form-well-attested, plausible, contested, or unlikely-so readers can see what the evidence truly supports. Along the way, key terms such as baya (public pledge), diwan (pay register), baghy (armed transgression), and khutba/sikka (pulpit/coinage as emblems of rule) are defined in plain English.Ideal for: general readers, students of Middle Eastern or religious history, book clubs, and anyone seeking a balanced account that neither sanctifies the past nor indicts it without evidence.Inside you'll find: A verified timeline of the siege and assassinationClear coverage of the Camel and iffin and the arbitrationHow legal and theological debates (justice, rebellion, responsibility) took shapeHow early statecraft-pay, roads, courts-made or broke legitimacyA rigorous, readable guide to one of the most consequential turning points in early Islam.
