"This is the first attempt to produce a volume covering all the major issues, concepts and institutions involved in Islamic banking. It is a brave attempt which largely succeeds in its aim to provide a clear guide to the growing energetic market. It is also an important effort because for those seeking an overview or an introduction to the area, there is comprehensive coverage and for those seeking to get a measure of the current debate, the contents are timely."
