This week, Resurrection and Renewal, about Iran/Persia's nineteenth-century appearance of the Baha'i movement, my order of a copy of the book ought to be delivered.

The story linked to in this post,
will combine subjects of several previous posts.

Professor Abbas Amanat, the author of Resurrection and Renewal,
has an older brother, Hossein Amanat, an architect who since leaving Iran has established his company and headquarters in Vancouver.

It is Hossein Amanat's design which is being used to construct the Shrine of 'Abdu'l Baha, the same shrine
which caught fire while under construction this spring. Check out that photograph of the fire itself.
