the solar system

c elestial bodies have intrigued the human imagination throughout the centuries. Planets that join Earth in rotating around our life-giving

Sun and the distant stars and galaxies that can be viewed only from a distance. Promising limitless opportunity for exploration and endless fuel for scientific inquiry, space offers new frontiers that demand to be discovered. As these absorbing volumes demonstrate, understanding the foundations of our world and the universe it inhabits begins by examining the elements of our own solar system the Sun, planets, moons, and other bodies whose relationships with each other reveal much about the cosmic origins of all matter.

dynamic Earth

t he majesty of the natural world is often tempered by reminders of Earth’s incredible power to destroy. The natural disasters that sometimes

devastate entire countries are sobering reminders of impermanence and reveal that our planet, like everything else, is in constant flux. This series explores some of the natural occurrences integral to Earth’s functioning but, in extreme cases, can destroy human life. Along with the science behind each phenomenon, readers learn about major examples and cases that bring home the effects of nature’s awesome power.

These intriguing volumes examine the basic components of the planet—from topographic landforms to the molten rocks at Earth’s core—and the geologic processes that affect them, as well as the various disciplines dedicated to deciphering these relationships.

• Illustrations highlight key structures and concepts

• Charts detail significant landforms and mineral types

• Informative sidebars examine related concepts and ideas

Math Explained

T he universal language of numbers has allowed individuals to transcend cultural differences and make collaborative efforts to comprehend

the world mathematically. Though many of these mathematicians may never have met the predecessors who made their own work possible, their collective works form the foundations of mathematics as it is known today. This series introduces students not only to the theories and formulas that form the basis of each field of mathematics, but to the individuals who dedicated their lives to pushing numerical boundaries. Detailed diagrams provide visual summaries of complex concepts and make these books an asset to both to lovers of math and to those who may find math unapproachable.

• Engages students in both math and history

• Comprehensive coverage of both basic and complex ideas

• Accessible to all interest levels

The Judicial Branch of the Federal Government: Purpose, Process, and People

The Executive Branch of the Federal Government: Purpose, Process, and People

10

Introduction

11

7 Introduction 7

During the hot summer months of 1787, delegates from the American states met in Philadelphia and created

a new framework of government, called the United States Constitution. While the delegates recognized the need for a strong executive to govern the United States, they did not want an all-powerful monarch who might become a tyrant. Instead they created three branches of govern-ment—the executive, the legislature and the judiciary—each with specific powers, and each with the power to check and balance the other.

In Article II, the Constitution spells out the pow-ers of the President, the Chief Executive of the United States. They include the power to make treaties with for-eign governments and to appoint ambassadors, federal judges and other officials—but only with the consent of the U.S. Senate. The President is also Commander and Chief of the nation’s armed forces, but can only declare war with the approval of Congress. In 1789, as a result of the first presidential election, George Washington became President of the United States and John Adams, his Vice President. Washington named a small group of political leaders to his cabinet, including Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury; Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State; and Henry Knox, Secretary of War. The Constitution specified that the President’s term of office should be four years, although it did not state how many times a presi-dent could run for re-election. Washington chose to run in 1792 for a second four-year term. After winning the elec-tion, he retired at the end of his second term, setting a precedent followed by other presidents until the 20th century.

Under the Constitution, a president and vice president are not elected directly by the American voters. Instead, they vote for electors in their states, who, in turn, elect America’s two top executives. According to the

u.s. government: the separation of Powers

t he framers of the Constitution had consummate legal minds. Their desire for a government that would represent the needs of the many as well as

the needs of the few led to the creation of a balanced government, which no other nation had formalized at that time. This thought-provoking series provides an exciting look into the three branches of the world’s leading democratic government. Primary source documents and interpretations introduce readers to leaders, ideas, and legal principles at work. Readers will learn about presidential interplay, from George Washington to Barack Obama.

A History of Western Civilization

B efore spawning the dual—and sometimes dueling—behemoths of democracy and capitalism that have become integral to much

of the Western world, the European continent was largely comprised of disparate villages, city-states, and kingdoms, with little to unite them. Over time, political, social, and economic philosophies emerged to transform kingdoms into empires. This engaging series takes a broad look at the events, movements, and ideas that created and sustained the countries of Europe, from prehistory through the Renaissance, from the modern era to the present European Union.

• Plentiful use of images emphasizes the significance of influential art, artifacts, and individuals throughout the ages

• Detailed sidebars supplement the scholarly and accessible narrative text

The Britannica guide to War

C onflict and war have shaped the trajectory of human interactions throughout history. Though warfare in the 21st century may ostensibly bear

These engaging volumes take a unique, in-depth look at the ways in which wars have been fought the world over and throughout time.

• Detailed sidebars highlight important individuals, battles, and military concepts

• Glossaries explain key terms

• Photographs and illustrations depict significant events, figures, and equipment in the history of war

the Britannica guide to Ethics

l eading a principled existence demands grappling with questions whose answers are frequently unclear and examining the values that we most

vigorously defend. Even as we contend with the travails of daily life, we are constantly confronted with issues of moral import. These penetrative books consider the key developments in thinking on Western ethics and the thinkers throughout time who have challenged us to re-evaluate the standards we use to distinguish between right and wrong and the moral codes that form the backbone of human behavior.

the history of Philosophy

t he human mind has long hungered to understand deep truths. Though ideas of this nature are often impossible to explain definitively, numerous

individuals dedicate their lives to seeking answers that transcend the mechanical and approach the metaphysical. These absorbing books invite readers to pose their most probing questions alongside the philosophers who came before them and learn about the various strands of thought that developed over time in response. Students will also discover the interplay between philosophy and religion as well as the mathematical basis for much philosophical thought.

7 God’s Word to Humanity 7

God’s Word to Humanity

chapter 2

There is something of the soul of the Prophet Muhammad in the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam

that tradition holds was originally a sonorous revelation from God imprinted upon the Prophet’s heart and only later written down. If the text of the Qur’an is comparable to words heard by the ear, the soul of the Prophet is like the air that carries the sound and allows it to be heard by humanity. According to a famous saying from him (known as hadith al-thaqalayn), Muhammad said that, when he departed from the world, he would leave behind two pre-cious gifts (thaqalayn): the Qur’an and his family. When asked by his wife ‘A’ishah how he should be remembered after his death, Muhammad replied, “By reciting the Qur’an.” The very subtle relationship between the Qur’an and the Prophet causes Muslims to feel his grace (barakah) whenever they read the Qur’an, which they nevertheless understand to be the pronouncement to humanity of the Word of God revealed through the agency of the archan-gel Gabriel to Muhammad, a pious but unlettered person, and uttered verbatim by him to those around him.

The Qur’an

The Qur’an is the central theophany (divine manifesta-tion) of Islam. Although most modern Muslims know it as the Holy Qur’an, many of them still refer to it as al-Qur’an al-karim or al-Qur’an al-majid, which can best be translated as “the Noble Qur’an” or “the Glorious Qur’an.” Composed in Arabic, Islam’s sacred liturgical language, the Qur’an is untranslatable. The name Qur’an is derived from the term al-qur’an, meaning “the recita-tion.” The scripture has many other names, each of which suggests an aspect of its significance for Muslims. Among those found in the text itself are al-furqan (“discern-ment”), umm al-kitab (the “mother book,” or “archetypal

the islamic World

W hat are the precepts of Shari’ah law? What role did Genghis Khan play in Islamic history? How do the teachings of the Qur’an mesh

with those of other religious texts? In this powerful, probing, and thought-provoking series, the world of Islam is explored and explained. With coverage from around the world and across the centuries, each book provides a thorough look at the religion with nearly two billion adherents worldwide. Readers will develop a comprehensive understanding of this incredibly rich faith and its contributions to world culture and history. They will gain access to authentic ideas and concepts, which unfortunately have been distorted by recent events that were carried out in the name of Islam. Each book includes copiously informative nonfiction features, such as a detailed table of contents and index, which allow for deep research and recreational reading equally.

• Examines all aspects of this topical, and sometimes misunderstood, religion

• Gives students access to authentic Islamic ideas and concepts

• Detailed table of contents and index for thorough research

• Aligns with the social studies standards for culture and global connections

the native american sourcebook

n ative American cultures and contributions predate those of the American majority, and yet they are often unfairly consigned to the

peripheries of the mainstream.

native american tribes

a s indigenous peoples of the “New World,” Native Americans had established working societies long before Europeans arrived on the shores of North

America. Each tribe had its own unique identity even as it shared certain traditions, customs, means of sustenance, housing patterns, and beliefs with neighboring groups in a given culture area. Each volume digs beneath the surface of more than 25 tribes to examine what life truly was like for American Indians before, during, and after European settlement.

• Detailed sidebars highlight notable individuals, events, and concepts

the Britannica guide to religion

o ffering both personal fulfillment and practical guidance, religions often comprise a complex interplay of theology, history, mythology, moral

philosophy, and ritual. As many religions spread across the globe, they evolve over time and assume new cultural hues, thus creating “lived religions” whose practices, while anchored in their doctrinal foundations, blend in various facets of local traditions and beliefs. The key events, ideas, literature, figures, institutions, and customs central to the spiritual life of two such faiths—Christianity and Judaism—are considered in depth in these insightful volumes.
