Book Description
The wave of anti-government protests that swept through the Arab world from December 2010 on started to transform politics and society in the Middle East. The protests came as a surprise to many observers-- but not to Rami Zurayk, an veteran Lebanese agronomist and social activist who had been analyzing the collapse of traditional agricultural livelihoods in the Middle East since the late 1980s. In 2007, Zurayk started writing the "Land and People" blog, which charts food-policy and agricultural policy issues throughout the Middle East. Food, Farming, and Freedom presents his choice of the best of the posts in the blog from 2007 through April 2011. It concludes with a chapter tracking the early months of the Arab Spring.

Book Description
This book should be of interest to any reader who has ever stopped to ponder what children usually ask their elders: Why are we here? In the context of history and myth, several aspects of Western and Eastern civilizations such as the ideas about the existence of an afterlife, evolution, creationism, God and lately inflationary cosmology have constantly been a subject of thought in many peoples' minds. The advances of modern science have provoked a clash between the beliefs in the existence of immaterial beings and the findings of historical people. This has resulted in a challenge to various myths and religious concepts that eventually have been neither entirely adopted nor implemented all over the world. This book is not intended to be a polemic about the existence of God. It is rather an account of how the IDEA of GOD originated and evolved in the mind of the most influential thinkers of all time. The advances of modern science in the West have giving rise to variable ideas about the origins of the universe and the possibility of a final end, which have permeated our society. This contrasts sharply with the thought of Eastern civilizations. This book is a reflection of the different opinions and beliefs about the idea of God as conceived by the minds of individuals in the past and present and by those that now continue to be concerned about the role of evolution and creation after more than five millennia of controversial discussion. The contributions of prominent figures, both ancient and modern, are exposed here with brevity and clarity.

Book Description
In Broken Spring, veteran Middle East correspondent Mark Lavie provides a vivid, in-depth, hands-on view of Egypt's society and the turmoil it is undergoing. He examines its people, its politics and its Islamic orientation, and explains how and why the West gets so many things wrong in the Middle East. Lavie walks readers through everyday life in Egypt, meeting people and sharing their moods and hardships. He explains why democracy doesn't work in Egypt, why the economy is in shambles - and what it would take to fix it. From his post in Cairo, Lavie evaluates similar and parallel developments all over the region, and Western responses. Building on decades of reporting in Israel and the Palestinian areas, he assesses Israel's role in Arab Spring and its own perception of the events. He watches as the once proud and prominent Egyptian Jewish community withers and dies, literally, with the passing of its leader.

Book Description
Although freedom is America's core value, few Americans have a clear idea of what it means or - worse - enjoy much freedom in any of its conventional meanings. Drawing from republican tradition, the book critiques the contemporary American value of freedom as it appears in politics, the economy, and culture.

Book Description
From a gay man secretly mourning his lover's suicide in Morocco to a young woman denied schooling because of religious discrimination in Iran, Arab Spring Dreams spotlights some of the Middle East's most outspoken young dissidents. The essayists cover a wide range of experiences, including premarital sex, the lack of educational opportunities, teenage marriage, and the fight for political freedom. They also highlight how repressive laws and cultural mores snuff out liberty and stifle growth and consider how previous movements - particularly the American civil rights struggle - might be channeled to effect change in their own countries. Beautifully written and profoundly moving, these stories present a decisive call for change at a crucial point in the evolution of the Middle East.
