Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Little Piece Of Ground will help young readers understand more about one of the worst conflicts afflicting our world today. Written by Elizabeth Laird, one of Great Britain’s best-known young adult authors, A Little Piece Of Ground explores the human cost of the occupation of Palestinian lands through the eyes of a young boy. Twelve-year-old Karim Aboudi and his family are trapped in their Ramallah home by a strict curfew. In response to a Palestinian suicide bombing, the Israeli military subjects the West Bank town to a virtual siege. Meanwhile, Karim, trapped at home with his teenage brother and fearful parents, longs to play football with his friends. When the curfew ends, he and his friend discover an unused patch of ground that’s the perfect site for a football pitch. Nearby, an old car hidden intact under bulldozed building makes a brilliant den. But in this city there’s constant danger, even for schoolboys. And when Israeli soldiers find Karim outside during the next curfew, it seems impossible that he will survive. This powerful book fills a substantial gap in existing young adult literature on the Middle East. With 23,000 copies already sold in the United Kingdom and Canada, this book is sure to find a wide audience among young adult readers in the United States.
Download or read book Taking on the Middle East written by Howard Douglas Rowland and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the story of my experiences both living and traveling in seven countries of the Middle East during the years 1962-65, ... between 23 and 26 years of age. These experiences include a year of military service on a small U.S. Army listening post on the Black Sea in Sinop, Turkey, six months of residence among the locals in Aleppo, Syria, and two journeys amounting to several months of low-budget travel ... in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Egypt. My purpose ... was that I wanted American readers ... to know what it was like for me to experience, and survive in, the Middle East, communicating on an actual person-to-person basis with the Arabs, Turks, and others on their level as an equal, speaking their languages, and dealing and interacting with them as normal human beings in their usual environment in everyday living and travel situations. I wanted to show what the people were like, give some idea of the atmosphere and milieu of the countries they lived in, and also convey a reasonably accurate picture of their prevailing mentality and view of the world."--Introd.

Download or read book Travel Tourism and Identity written by Gabriel R. Ricci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel, Tourism and Identity addresses the psychological and social adjustments that occur when people make contact with others outside their social, cultural, or linguistic groups. Whether such contact is the result of tourism, seeking exile, or relocating abroad, the volume's contributors demonstrate how one's identity, cultural assumptions, and worldview can be brought into question. In some cases, the traveller finds that bridging the social and cultural gap between himself and the new society is fairly easy. In other cases, the traveller discovers that reorienting himself requires absorbing a new cultural history and traditions. The contributors argue that making these adjustments will surely enhance the traveller's or tourist's experience; otherwise the traveller or tourist will be at risk of becoming a marginalized figure, one disconnected from the society that surrounds him. This latest volume in the Culture & Civilization series features a collection of essays on travel and tourism. The essays cover a range of topics from historical travels to modern social identities. They discuss ancient travels, contemporary travels in Europe, Africa and sustainable eco-tourism, and the politics of tourism. Essays also address experiences of Grenada's "Spice Island" identity, and the effects of globalization and migrations on personal identity.

Download or read book The Worlds of Public Health written by Didier Fassin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health erupted into the world’s consciousness in early 2020 with the Covid pandemic and its multiple social and economic consequences. What had been until then, for most people, a remote and specialized field of expertise suddenly became the very basis for the government of lives. The Worlds of Public Health analyzes the moral and political issues at stake in the practice of public health today, including the influence of positivism, the boundaries of disease, conspiracy theories, morality tests, and the challenges posed by the health of migrants and prisoners. This exploration transports readers from South Africa, the country most impacted by the AIDS epidemic, to Ecuador, with the supposedly highest maternal mortality rate in Latin America; from the scientific controversies concerning the so-called worm wars in Kenya to conflicts between doctors and patients around Gulf War syndrome in the United States; from lead poisoning and public housing in France to the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide. Through these case studies, Didier Fassin argues that, ultimately, public health is a politics of life, revealing the different and unequal ways in which life is valued – and either protected or not – in contemporary societies.
