Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle East Tapestry represents the final installment of my thirty-plus years living and working in the Arab and Muslim worlds. The previous works, Masr and At the Margins, covered outlying areas of the region, including Egypt, South Asia, and West Africa. This book marks a return to the central lands of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula, including Saudi Arabia and Yemen, with lengthy excursions into lands to the north, chiefly Jordan and the West Bank. The title, Middle East Tapestry, was chosen after careful consideration of several alternatives. The term “Middle East” simply seemed the best descriptor of the area inhabited by the world’s nearly four hundred million Arab Muslims and makes up in familiarity what it may lack in definitional precision and nuance. The word “tapestry”—technically, an elaborate piece of textile work with pictures woven into the warp and weft—was also carefully chosen. It more generally describes “an intricate combination of things or sequence of events, not necessarily related,” that seemed to answer to the complexity of the area I am describing: “a tapestry of cultures, races, and customs.” Indeed, there is hardly a thing in the history of the area that is not intricate or complex.

Download or read book Textile Production and Consumption in the Ancient Near East written by Marie-Louise Nosch and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, textile production was a key part of all ancient societies. The Ancient Near East stands out in this respect with the overwhelming amount of documentation both in terms of raw materials, line of production, and the distribution of finished products. The thirteen intriguing chapters in Textile Production and Consumption in the Ancient Near East describe the developments and changes from household to standardised, industrialised and centralised productions which take place in the region. They discuss the economic, social and cultural impact of textiles on ancient society through the application of textile tool studies, experimental testing, context studies and epigraphical as well as iconographical sources. Together they demonstrate that the textile industries, production, technology, consumption and innovations are crucial to, and therefore provide an in-depth view of ancient societies during this period. Geographically the contributions cover Anatolia, the Levant, Syria, the Assyrian heartland, Sumer, and Egypt.
Download or read book Winston S Churchill and the Shaping of the Middle East 1919 1922 written by Sara Reguer and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can one individual influence the course of history? In the example of Churchill and the Middle East during post-World War I, the answer is an irrefutable yes. Winston S. Churchill, first as Secretary for War and Air, and then as Colonial Secretary, both formulated and enacted the British imperial mandate policy for Iraq and Palestine, thereby laying the groundwork for issues that are still relevant today including conflicts in Israel, internal political upheavals in Iraq. The complicated historical intricacies of the postwar period combined with a variety of personal and political confrontations are at the core of Churchill’s decisions and finally his parliamentary successes. While most books on Churchill attempt to cover the course of his political and personal career, this volume exclusively focuses on the Middle East during the formative years of 1919-1922 and explores the foundations of some of the Middle East's most problematic issues today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threads in the Tapestry: Conflict and Resolution in the Middle East by Cherub Nicholls Threads In The Tapestry: Conflict & Resolution in the Middle East can be simply explained in a love story. God, the Great King, chooses for Himself a wife. Her name is Israel. This Great King loves His wife very much and would do anything to shower her with His affection. Like other husbands in a marital relationship, He provides for His wife a home. This Great King utilizes the skills and expertise of foreign labour to build His wife her home. After the labourers complete their tasks (they were the Kenites, the Kenezzites, and the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites), He removes them from the country, so that His wife alone, may enjoy the splendour of His possession.Twice, because of His wife's unfaithfulness to Him, He sends her away from His house. Nevertheless, He remains committed to His lover and decides that He will be faithful and seek no "sweetheart" while healing takes place in His broken heart.After a long time, God, the Great King and husband of Israel, decided that He has punished His wife long enough, and He brings her back home: to Himself, His house and city. Her total adoration is all He yearns for. Though there are many other women in the street, trying to win His affection, He reserves His love for His wife alone. Leave Israel alone! Her King, with great power, will rescue her from the world. This is a must read! About the Author Cherub Angela Nicholls served as a career diplomat for Guyana at the United Nations, and also as an intern at the United Nations. Her diplomatic career helped "open her eyes" to the Arab-Israeli conflict. No longer in her country's service, she has since become an advocate for Israel, in which she is dedicated to providing insights to the conflict from the standpoint of the God of Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Story tells the tale of one man’s coming to adulthood in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because of his international focus, the Author had said little about a subject that might interest a reader familiar with his existing body of work, that is, himself. So, he has turned a penetrating gaze from his customary subjects—people and places in the Middle East and South Asia—to a subject that provides context for his earlier books. From family histories of eighteenth-century Cevio in the Swiss Alps and Marseille in Provence; from childhood, youth, adolescence, and early adulthood in the United States; to the Navy and the Vietnam War; from “First Footsteps in the Middle East” to “Timeline,” “Red America,” and “Iran Odyssey,” these chapters play out against the backdrop of the family history now provided. As such, this work represents the capstone to a full career.
