rif. B9780520067097Paperback / softback. New. Is the well-being of a society dependent on the well-being of its citizenry Does individual self-esteem play a causal role in chronic social problems such as child abuse school drop-out rates teenage pregnancy alcohol and drug abuse welfare dependency In an attempt to answer these questions the State of California established a task force on self-esteem and social responsibility in 1987. The aim of this body was to determine what connections might exist between these two factors and to suggest policy guidelines relating to the welfare of Californians and to the expenditure of public resources. The ten essays in this volume prepared by faculty members of the University of California draw on research in the social and behavioral sciences to explore these issues. They assess the substantive assertions and research findings in the field and make careful evaluations of their reliability and validity. In many cases strong connections between self-esteem and problematic behavior are established in others the connections are weak and in some the causal relationship is as yet imperfectly understood. One of the conclusions of the book is that research on these issues needs to be improved particularly in the areas of comparative and longitudinal studies. Guidelines for future research are suggested and some points of policy direction are elaborated. These essays may indeed promote additional research for the premise that social stability and welfare are largely dependent on the psychological state of a people poses a challenging and provocative counter-emphasis to the assumption that social institutions are the primary determinants of individual welfare. paperback

1921rif. 148161921. Unpublished sepia-toned photograph of pilgrims journeying to Mecca circa 1921 documents the material and spatial realities of the Hajj in the early twentieth century during a period of geopolitical transition in the Arabian Peninsula following the First World War. The image captures a vast encampment of white tents set against a rugged and mountainous landscape outside Mecca visually conveying the scale of pilgrimage infrastructure prior to modern urban expansion. Created during the years immediately preceding the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932 the photograph supports research in Islamic religious practice the history of pilgrimage logistics and British imperial observation of the Hejaz during the inter war period. Photograph. Circa 1921. Approximately 3.5 x 5 inches. Sepia-toned silver gelatin print. The composition presents thousands of white tents clustered across uneven terrain forming a temporary city of pilgrims undertaking the religious journey to Mecca. The mountainous backdrop situates the encampment geographically within the arid environment surrounding the holy city. The photograph originates from the album of a British naval officer who traveled in the region between 1920 and 1923 providing contemporaneous visual documentation from a foreign observer during a time of shifting political authority in the Hejaz following the collapse of Ottoman control. The image appears unpublished and retains the intimate scale characteristic of personal travel albums. As a visual record predating large-scale modernization of pilgrimage facilities the photograph preserves evidence of early twentieth-century Hajj organization material culture and environmental conditions. The presence of an extensive tent city underscores both the enduring continuity of Islamic ritual practice and the logistical complexity of pilgrimage prior to the oil-era transformation of the region. Light age-related curling; minor chipping at lower edge not affecting the image area; surface otherwise clean with strong tonal range. Overall good condition. A historically significant early twentieth-century photograph documenting the lived landscape of pilgrimage to Mecca during a pivotal moment in Arabian political history. unknown
1790rif. 145711790. Engraved plate titled View Of The Temple of Mecca and accompanying Plan Of The Temple of Mecca circa eighteenth century represents an early modern European visual interpretation of the Kaaba and the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca Islam's most sacred site. Produced for inclusion in eighteenth-century printed works including editions of André du Ryer's French translation of the Qur'an L'Alcoran de Mahomet the engraving reflects European efforts to depict and systematize knowledge of Islamic sacred geography during a period of expanding global contact. The print supports research in Islamic studies the history of book illustration Orientalist visual culture and early modern European representations of non-Christian religious architecture. Engraved plate. Circa 1700s. Approximately 8 x 12 inches. Unmounted and unframed. The foldout plate comprises two distinct but related images: an aerial plan of the sacred precinct at Mecca and a perspectival view of the Kaaba within the Masjid al-Haram. The central structure of the Kaaba is depicted surrounded by arcaded and domed architectural elements characteristic of the sanctuary as understood in the eighteenth century. In the foreground courtyard numerous Muslim worshippers-approximately one hundred figures-are shown engaged in prayer emphasizing both ritual practice and spatial organization. The engraving was issued in connection with eighteenth-century European editions of Islamic texts including Du Ryer's influential translation and reflects the period's hybrid combination of documentary ambition and interpretive stylization. As a visual artifact circulating within early modern printed Qur'anic translations the plate documents how European readers encountered Islam through mediated imagery shaped by travel accounts diplomatic reports and secondhand description. Such engravings played a formative role in constructing Western visual conceptions of Mecca at a time when access to the holy city was restricted to Muslims. The presence of both plan and elevation view demonstrates Enlightenment-era interest in architectural order cartographic precision and comparative religion. Light age-related toning and traces of original fold at center; minor fold wear consistent with issuance as a book plate; image clear with well-preserved engraved detail. Overall very good condition. A significant eighteenth-century engraved representation of the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram reflecting early European visual engagement with Islamic sacred space. unknown
1847rif. 146231847. Mecca is the birthplace of prophet Muhammad and home to the Kaaba the holiest site while Medina is the second holiest city where the Prophet's Mosque is located.Two original steel engravings titled "Medina et Sepulcre du Prophete" and "Temple de la Mecque" issued in Picturesque Universe Paris: Firmin Didot 1847. Engraved plates measuring approximately 5" x 8.2". These mid-nineteenth-century French views present idealized yet intricately rendered representations of Islam's two holiest cities Medina and Mecca produced for a European readership at a moment of expanding Orientalist travel literature and imperial curiosity about the Islamic world. The Medina engraving offers a panoramic prospect from an elevated vantage point depicting the walled city and the Prophet's Mosque at its center approached by four travelers traversing a mountainous road some mounted on camels. The composition emphasizes distance and pilgrimage situating the sacred city within both devotional and geographic imagination. The companion engraving of Mecca presents a detailed architectural rendering of the Masjid al-Haram complex with the Kaaba prominently centered and surrounded by arcades and ancillary structures the broader urban fabric faintly delineated in the background. Produced at a time when non-Muslim access to these cities was extremely restricted such engravings mediated sacred Islamic space through European print culture shaping nineteenth-century visual conceptions of the Hijaz. As products of a major Parisian press renowned for technical excellence these steel engravings reflect both advances in reproductive printmaking and the period's fascination with global religious and cultural monuments.First engraving with loss to the lower right corner not affecting the primary architectural focal points; light age toning and minor edge wear consistent with issue; second engraving clean and well-preserved with strong plate impression. Overall very good. An evocative pair of mid-nineteenth-century European views of Medina and Mecca documenting the circulation of Islamic sacred geography within illustrated travel literature at the height of Orientalism publishing. unknown
