?[This] book deals with case studies of the effects of colonial rule on India, Burma, Ceylon, Malaya, Indonesia, Egypt, the Maghred, and Africa south of the Sahara between 1880 and 1940. Von Albertini emphasizes events and facts.... The result is a thesis that is very skeptical of the theoretically heavy but factually lightweight dependence school, which pictures colonial rule as the development of underdevelopment.' With precision and clarity Von Albertini reiterates an older, more commonsense judgment, stressing that underdevelopment is better than no development and that there is no reason to suppose that the Third World would be more developed without colonial rule than it now is. The translation ... is ... excellent, as are the maps and bibliography. College and university libraries.?-Choice
Autorenporträt
The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
