This study involved the investigation of the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning method designed to promote cross-racial friendships. This study replicated and extended an earlier study by Slavin (1979) that reported more increases in cross-racial friendship choices by students experiencing cooperative learning compared to those in a control condition using a sociometric nomination procedure. The ability of sociometric nomination devices to represent increases in cross-racial friendships was questioned. This study investigated two additional dependent measures (Interpersonal Relationship Assessment Technique, IRAT) that were hypothesized to be more representative of friendship than those currently used in the literature. Participants were 92 seventh grade students at a desegregated middle school. The experimental group studied worksheets in 4 to 5 member biracial teams and received recognition based on the sum of members' quiz scores. Control students studied alone and received individual scores only. Comparisons of these groups examined the effects of these instructional formats 2on multiple measures of friendship. Results indicated that when using the traditional nomination measurement, black males reported significantly more cross-racial friendships than black males in traditional classes. Cooperative instruction did not produce significant effects for white males, black females or white females.

An epic historical consideration of the Mongol conquest of Western Asia and the spread of Islam during the years of non-Muslim rule The Mongol conquest of the Islamic world began in the early thirteenth century when Genghis Khan and his warriors overran Central Asia and devastated much of Iran. Distinguished historian Peter Jackson offers a fresh and fascinating consideration of the years of infidel Mongol rule in Western Asia, drawing from an impressive array of primary sources as well as modern studies to demonstrate how Islam not only survived the savagery of the conquest, but spread throughout the empire. This unmatched study goes beyond the well-documented Mongol campaigns of massacre and devastation to explore different aspects of an immense imperial event that encompassed what is now Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Afghanistan, as well as Central Asia and parts of eastern Europe. It examines in depth the cultural consequences for the incorporated Islamic lands, the Muslim experience of Mongol sovereignty, and the conquerors’ eventual conversion to Islam.

The Delhi Sultanate was the first Islamic state to be established in India. In a broad-ranging, accessible narrative, Peter Jackson traces the history of the Sultanate from its foundation in 1210 to its demise in 1400 at the sack of Delhi by the Central Asian conqueror, Tamerlane. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Sultanate was the principal bastion of Islam in the subcontinent. While the book focuses on military and political affairs, tracing the Sultanate's resistance to formidable Mongol invasions from the north-west and the administrative developments that underpinned these exploits, it also explores the Sultans' relations with their non-Muslim subjects. As a comprehensive treatment of the period, the book will make a significant contribution to the literature on medieval Indo-Muslim history. Students of Islamic and Indian history, and those with a general interest in the region, will find it a valuable resource.
The reign of Muhammad b. Tughluq throws up perhaps more problems than any
other in the history of the Sultanate. At the sultan's accession the authority of
Delhi was acknowledged over a larger area of the subcontinent than under any
previous monarch. It is to this process of expansion that Barani refers when he
describes the unprecedented scope and efficiency of the revenue department in
Muhammad's early years.1 And yet the reign appears to be dominated by an
extraordinary ...
