I had such high expectations of a book with such a promising and interesting premise, which turned out to be just a catchy title for a rather mundane scope of approach to Islamic architecture and textiles. Almost every article involved was extremely repetitive and scarce in actual research beyond an insane amount of quotations from other people’s works. Add to that the horror that I read “TARDIS-like sudden appearances” in an allegedly PEER REVIEWED article, and I’m barely surprised the same person used someone’s blogspot as a source. This is unacceptable, and it made me weep for the shameful state of academia today.
