Book Description
Blossoming in Amman is a novel from youth to youth, telling the stories of four young women in their late twenties, and how each of them searches for a different meaning to give her own life. In the pages of the novel, the characters tell us about their fears, dreams and love. They explain their hopes and passion about life in a scenario in which they wrestle with the interpretation of the forbidden and the permitted and discuss the different perspectives of "right and wrong"! The novel presents the characters' dialogue with themselves, as these dialogues tell in details a set of dialectical discussions within a person's mind before S/he makes a decision, or after S/he goes through a certain experience. The pages of the novel tell a story about the relationship between the woman and herself and between herself and the circle of life and the social conditions that surround her. Where it dives into the feelings of eternal joy inside the hearts, the pains and tears and fears all along the road, and the challenges that any girl living in an eastern society may face. In the midst of the complex story for each character, there is no conclusion for a rule to be followed, but rather a mechanism of self-reconciliation that does not justify any mistakes but draws a smile on the face and push us always to search for new experiences in life.

Book Description
A newsbreaking memoir that tackles head-on the toughest challenge in the world today. When a dying King Hussein shocked the world by picking his son rather than his brother, the longtime crown prince, to be the next king of Jordan, no one was more surprised than the young head of Special Operations, who discovered his life was in for a major upheaval. This is the inspirational story of a young prince who went to boarding school in America and military academy in Britain and grew up believing he would be a soldier. Back home, he hunted down terrorists and modernized Jordan's Special Forces. Then, suddenly, he found himself king. Together with his wife, Queen Rania, he transformed what it meant to be a monarch, going undercover to escape the bubble of the court while she became the Muslim world's most passionate advocate of women's rights. In this exceptionally candid memoir, King Abdullah tackles the single toughest issue he faces head-on- how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian standoff- and reveals himself to be an invaluable intermediary between America and the Arab world. He writes about the impact of the Iraq war on his neighborhood and how best to tackle Iran's nuclear ambitions. Why would a sitting head of state choose to write about the most explosive issues he faces? King Abdullah does so now because he believes we face a moment of truth: a last chance for peace in the Middle East. The prize is enormous, the cost of failure far greater than we dare imagine.

Book Description
Religious rituals are often seen as unchanging and ahistorical bearers of long-standing traditions. But as this book demonstrates, ritual is a lively platform for social change and innovation in the religions of South Asia. Drawing from Hindu and Jain examples in India, Nepal, and North America, the essays in this volume, written by renowned scholars of religion, explore how the intentional, conscious, and public invention or alteration of ritual can effect dramatic social transformation, whether in dethroning a Nepali king or sanctioning same-sex marriage. Ritual Innovation shows how the very idea of ritual as a conservative force misreads the history of religion by overlooking ritual's inherent creative potential and its adaptability to new contexts and circumstances.
