Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few images are as evocative as the silhouette of the Arab dhow as, under full sail, it tacks to windward on glittering waters of Red Sea before moving across the face of the rising or setting sun. In this authoritative new book, Dionisius A. Agius, one of the foremost scholars of Islamic material culture, offers a lucid and wide-ranging history of the iconic dhow from medieval to modern times. Traversing the Arabian and African coasts, he shows that the dhow was central not just to commerce but to the vital transmission and exchange of ideas. Discussing trade and salt routes, shoals and wind patterns, spice harvest seasons and the deep and resonant connection between language, memory and oral tradition, this is the first book to place the dhow in its full and remarkable cultural contexts.

Download or read book Days Nights by the Red Sea written by D. Dundas and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a remote beach in Saudi Arabia told by a cocky but unreliable 23 year old who a year earlier was struck down by polio and dreamed, while in an iron lung, he was swimming in the Red Sea. He tells of a small motley group of US, Brit and Korean expats who went down a 6000ft escarpment over a twelve-year period (70's and early 80's) to camp and to spear fish. It is the real deal, not a TV setup, telling it how it was from their perspective, stupidities and all, and what it led to. The Red Sea becomes the main character: a sea of surprises, with a long prehistory, told in 87 short chapters, against an increasingly military backdrop. Each chapter heading gives a clue.
Download or read book Colonial Chaos in the Southern Red Sea written by Nicholas W. Stephenson Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the countries bordering the Red Sea are riven with instability. Why are the region's contemporary problems so persistent and interlinked? Through the stories of three compelling characters, Colonial Chaos sheds light on the unfurling of anarchy and violence during the colonial era. A noble Somali sultan, a cunning Yemeni militia leader, and a Machiavellian French merchant ran amok in the southern Red Sea in the nineteenth and twentieth century. In response to colonial hostility and gunboat diplomacy, they attacked shipwrecks, launched piratical attacks, and traded arms, slaves, and drugs. Their actions contributed to the transformation of the region's international relations, redrew the political map, upended its diplomatic culture, and remodelled its traditions of maritime law, sowing the seeds of future unrest. Colonisation created chaos in the southern Red Sea. Colonial Chaos offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the relationship between the region's colonial past and its contemporary instability.

Book excerpt: THE TRUE STORY THAT INSPIRED THE NETFLIX FILM THE RED SEA DIVING RESORT. 'Secret missions, brazen deceptions and thrilling, clandestine operations - Red Sea Spies has it all. But it has something more important, too - a genuine human mission that made a difference.' David Hoffman, author of The Billion Dollar Spy '[A] thrilling and meticulous account.' The Times In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad - the Israeli secret service. Providing a front for covert night-time activities, the holiday village allowed the agents to carry out an operation unlike any seen before. What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had been languishing in refugee camps, and the spiriting of them to Israel. Written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account and including an afterword from the commander who went on to become the head of the Mossad, this is the complete, never-before-heard, gripping tale of a top-secret and often hazardous operation. 'Red Sea Spies is what really happened. There is none of the Hollywood colouring-in, and yet the book is all the more vivid for it ... part thriller, part dark comedy, all true ... Berg brings out the native drama in an improbable story of a clandestine homecoming.' Spectator

Download or read book Ancient Bible Feasts written by Albert Bailey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Bible Feasts opens hidden Bible truths concerning Israel, Christ, and the church. These seven feasts given in their order and days of the year in Leviticus 23 are symbolic of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, the decent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost; the future rapture of the church; and the great tribulation and second advent of Christ; concluding with His thousand-year millennial reign here on earth. Other books written about these feasts deal with the same events, but none has gone into detail or explained the meaning of the celebrations and sacrifices God commanded the Israelite's to celebrate so many years ago. Dr. Bailey explains the meaning of certain numbers in the Scriptures and shows their importance in these feasts and how these numbers prove the accuracy of the fulfillment of these feasts. He also prove from Scripture that Jesus Christ died at the time the Passover Lamb was killed in Egypt; the meaning of the blood being put on the doors of the houses that the Israelite's were in; that Jesus resurrected at the same time the last Israelite came out of the Red Sea centuries earlier; that the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples the exact time God came down on Mt. Sinai some fourteen hundred years earlier. He also explains the sacrifice at Mt. Sinai that points to the fact that Jew and Gentile will become one in Christ. This book is a treasure to all students of the Holy Scriptures.
