Title:	The Muslim World in the 21st Century
Authors:	Hasan, Samiul
Keywords:	Muslim World
Issue Date:	2012
Publisher:	Springer
Description:	The idea of this book was crystallized by a documentary by the National Geographic based on Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. Still two potential problems thwarted the progress: the availability of the data and the inability to conceive the whole spectrum of issues in all countries where Muslims are dominant. The recent posting of online data by the World Bank boosted my courage, and the enthusiasm from the Springer (especially Teresa M. Krauss—the then editor) and the eagerness of some possible authors to contribute got the ball rolling. I am indebted to Jared Diamond and the National Geographic (for unknowingly helping me to shape the idea and the focus of this work), to the World Bank (for making volumes of data available online), the Springer (especially the editor, Teresa M. Krauss for encouragement), and to all the authors (for contributing pieces to hold the ‘thesis’ together). I am recording my gratitude to all.
