This represents a substantial rewriting, updating and expansion of the author's "The Islamic dynasties" of nearly 30 years ago. Over this period, much further information on Islamic dynastic history and chronology has come to light, and this material has been incorporated in the new book. Innovations include much more extensive listings of honorific titles and of filiations, thus enabling genealogical connections within the dynasties to be made. For Islamic numismatists, the recording of those rulers who issued coins will be useful. Above all, the coverage of dynasties has been vastly increased. Whereas the 1967 "The Islamic dynasties" included listings and histories of 82 dynasties from North Africa to India, "The new Islamic dynasties" covers 186 dynasties, including dynasties from totally new regions like West and East Africa, South-East Asia and Indonesia, and Central Asia after the Mongol invasions. The histories of the respective dynasties have been retained as a feature of this new volume and in many cases expanded.

This book contains articles on historic cities of the Islamic world, ranging from West Africa to Malaysia, which over the centuries have been centres of culture and learning and of economic and commercial life, and which have contributed much to the consolidation of Islam as a faith and as a social and political institution. The articles have been taken from the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, completed in 2004, but in many cases expanded and rewritten. All have been updated to include fresh historical information, with note of contemporary social developments and population statistics. The book thus delineates the urban background of Islam has it has evolved up to the present day, highlighting the role of such great cities as Cairo, Istanbul, Baghdad and Delhi in Islamic history, and also brings them together in a rich panorama illustrating one of mankind's greatest achievements, the living organism of the city.
