World Enough, and Time: Greece and the Levantine littoral by Mrs. Theodore Bent,Gerald Brisch Pdf

If my fellow-traveller had lived, he intended to have put together in book form such information as we had gathered about Southern Arabia. Now, as he died four days after our return from our last journey there, I hove had to undertake the task myself. It has been very sad tome, but I have been helped by knowing that, however imperfect this book may be, what is written here will surely be a help to those who, by following in our footsteps, will be able to get beyond them, and to whom I so heartily wish success and a Happy Home-coming, the best wish a traveller may have. --

The Arabian Desert in English Travel Writing Since 1950 by Jenny Walker Pdf

Broadly this book is about the Arabian desert as the locus of exploration by a long tradition of British travellers that includes T. E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger; more specifically, it is about those who, since 1950, have followed in their literary footsteps. In analysing modern works covering a land greater than the sum of its geographical parts, the discussion identifies outmoded tropes that continue to impinge upon the perception of the Middle East today while recognising that the laboured binaries of “East and West”, “desert and sown”, “noble and savage” have outrun their course. Where, however, only a barren legacy of latent Orientalism may have been expected, the author finds instead a rich seam of writing that exhibits diversity of purpose and insight contributing to contemporary discussions on travel and tourism, intercultural representation, and environmental awareness. By addressing a lack of scholarly attention towards recent additions to the genre, this study illustrates for the benefit of students of travel literature, or indeed anyone interested in “Arabia”, how desert writing, under the emerging configurations of globalisation, postcolonialism, and ecocriticism, acts as a microcosm of the kinds of ethical and emotional dilemmas confronting today’s travel writers in the world’s most extreme regions.

Foodways in Southern Oman by Marielle Risse Pdf

Foodways in Southern Oman examines the objects, practices and beliefs relating to producing, obtaining, cooking, eating and disposing of food in the Dhofar region of southern Oman. The chapters consider food preparation, who makes what kind of food, and how and when meals are eaten. Marielle Risse connects what is consumed to themes such as land usage, gender, age, purity, privacy and generosity. She also discusses how foodways are related to issues of morality, safety, religion, and tourism. The volume is a result of fourteen years of collecting data and insights in Dhofar, covering topics such as catching fish, herding camels, growing fruits, designing kitchens, cooking meals and setting leftovers out for animals. It will be of interest to scholars from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, food studies, Middle Eastern studies and Islamic studies.

The book integrates new findings and theoretical approaches whilst, at the same time, allowing readers to contextualize their understanding through engagement with bigger overarching issues and themes, often drawing explicitly on key theoretical concepts and debates. Structured according to chronological periods and with two dedicated chapters on Akrotiri and the debate around the volcanic eruption of Thera, this book is an essential companion for all those interested in the prehistory of the Cyclades and other Aegean islands.

"في عام 1893 اقترحت الحكومة البريطانيّة على الزّوجين المستكشفين الشّهيرين ثيودور ومايبل بنت أنّ "مسحاً لحضرموت لرحّالة مستقلّ سيكون ذات فائدة كبرى". وكانا بطيعة الحال توّاقين لرؤية البلاد التي لعب أهلها دوراً مهمّاً للغاية في تاريخ أفريقيا الذي كانا لتوّهما يقومان بإستكشاف غوامضه، فكان الزّوجان بنت أوّل أوروبيين يسافران في الجزيرة دون تخفٍّ، وكانت مايبل الامرأة الأوروبيّة الأولى، ما قبل دورين إنغرامز وفريا ستارك، التي ترى بأمّ العين هذه الحضارة الفريدة، كما أنها التقطت أولى الصّور الفوتوغرافيّة هناك ووصفهما، وهو أجمل قسم من كتاب كتاب "جنوبيّ جزيرة العرب" كان الأولى من نوعه الذي يقدّم صورة حيّة حول الحكومة، والمناظر الرّائعة، والعمارة، والحياة الإجتماعيّة، والأزياء، والعادات، والطبّ الشّعبي والعديد من نواحي الحياة الأخرى في حضرموت، وفي نهاية عام 1896 أمضى الزّوجان بنت شهرين في جزيرة سُقطرى يدرسان حضارة لا تقلّ تفرّداً عن أيّة حضارة أخرى رأياها من قبل وهذه الجزيرة كان خليطاً عجيباً من الشعوب والعادات المهريّة والعربيّة والأفريقيّة، ثم فجعت مايبل بوفاة زوجها بعد ايام من عودتهما إلى بريطانيا، ممّا اضطرَها إلى أن تقوم بتدوين أخبار الرّحلة بنفسها في هذا الكتاب الثّمين."

Fibs, Facts and Farces - Tales from the Arab World by John Carter Pdf

The recent history of the Arab World presents a dismal story of pain, horror, and suffering. The causes are many and the blame game endless. However, the happy experiences of one Englishman throw a quite contrary light on current events, and have been written down as a way of saying thank you to all the Arabians involved for their unrivalled hospitality and friendship, as well as for sharing so much hilarious merriment. The author has collected stories over the course of many years that highlight not only the essential dottiness of his own country’s activities in the area, but also unveil the tremendous humour that the Arabs themselves possess. In this volume these tales are recorded, many for the first time, and have been added to by extensive research into the relevant literature to provide important background material, reference and explanation. To understand the humour of a race or nation is to understand and appreciate their culture and characteristics and reach a common ground. Whatever your nationality, Fibs, Facts and Farces: Tales from the Arab World will have you holding your sides.

Museums of the Arabian Peninsula by Sarina Wakefield Pdf

Museums of the Arabian Peninsula offers new insights into the history and development of museums within the region. Recognising and engaging with varied approaches to museum development and practice, the book offers in-depth critical analyses from a range of viewpoints and disciplines. Drawing on regional and international scholarship, the book provides a critical and detailed analysis of museum and heritage institutions in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Yemen. Questioning and engaging with issues related to the institutionalisation of cultural heritage, contributors provide original analyses of current practice and challenges within the region. Considering how these challenges connect to broader issues within the international context, the book offers the opportunity to examine how museums are actively produced and consumed from both the inside and the outside. This critical analysis also enables debates to emerge that question the appropriateness of existing models and methods and provide suggestions for future research and practice. Museums of the Arabian Peninsula offers fresh perspectives that reveal how Gulf museums operate from local, regional and transnational perspectives. The volume will be a key reference point for academics and students working in the fields of museum and heritage studies, anthropology, cultural studies, history, politics and Gulf and Middle East Studies.
