Shock the World: UConn The Broadview Anthology of Basketball in the Calhoun Era Medieval Drama By Peter F. Burns, Jr. Northeastern University Press

In 25 years at UConn, Coach Jim Calhoun changed a team, a university, a state, and college basketball.

Burns, Jr. paints a vivid portrait of college basketball in the past 25 years and highlights the challenges Calhoun overcame to become the best program builder of all time and the greatest coach of his generation.

Two basic assumptions have shaped understanding of recent Iranian history. One is that Shi’ism is an integral part of Iran’s religious and cultural landscape. The other is that the ulama (religious scholars) have always played a crucial role. Moazami confronts these assumptions and constructs a new synthesis of the history of state and religion in Iran from 1796 to the present while challenging existing theories of large-scale political transformation.
