The Book is emerging a deeper sense of understanding the morphology of industrial districts in terms of their form, process, scale, statistics and dynamics to enable us to map out our approach for developing irregular dynamical industrial districts. Environmental condition of industrial district in developing countries is in perpetual change, which leads to the failure of the classical modernisation method in achieving their goals. Therefore, the need for dynamical and flexible system is very urgent in such conditions. The fractal modernisation method of industrial Areas, which created by this research is characterised by flexible urban modernisation system, hierarchical metamorphosis, information network and dynamical promotional system. As well as, featured by perpetual repetition of planning process on time by self-organisational structures. Those are features give this method its durability and capability to meet the actual and futuristic needs of randomly dynamical industrial districts of developing countries.
The Fear of Islam investigates the context of Western views of Islam and offers an introduction to the historical roots and contemporary anxiety regarding Islam within the Western world. Tracing the medieval legacy of religious polemics and violence, Green orients readers to the complex history and issues of Western relations to Islam, from early and late modern colonial enterprises and theories of "Orientalism," to the production of religious discourses of otherness and the clash of civilizations that proliferated in the era of 9/11 and the war on terror.

Poetry is often viewed as culturally homogeneous—“stubbornly national,” in T. S. Eliot’s phrase, or “the most provincial of the arts,” according to W. H. Auden. But in A Transnational Poetics, Jahan Ramazani uncovers the ocean-straddling energies of the poetic imagination—in modernism and the Harlem Renaissance; in post–World War II North America and the North Atlantic; and in ethnic American, postcolonial, and black British writing. Cross-cultural exchange and influence are, he argues, among the chief engines of poetic development in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Reexamining the work of a wide array of poets, from Eliot, Yeats, and Langston Hughes to Elizabeth Bishop, Lorna Goodison, and Agha Shahid Ali, Ramazani reveals the many ways in which modern and contemporary poetry in English overflows national borders and exceeds the scope of national literary paradigms. Through a variety of transnational templates—globalization, migration, travel, genre, influence, modernity, decolonization, and diaspora—he discovers poetic connection and dialogue across nations and even hemispheres.
A dying King Hussein of Jordan shocked the world when he chose his son rather than his brother to be the next King of Jordan. In this candid memoir, King Abdullah II tackles the two toughest issues he faces: how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian standoff and how to become an intermediary between the United States and the Arab world.
The Bedouin scouts are the largely-unsung heroes of the Jewish state. The Scout is based on the true story of the legendary Salim Saadi, tracing his extraordinary life, and his daring exploits serving in the Israeli army, as well as providing a broader view of Bedouin history, and Bedouin-Jewish relations in Israel. Author Steven Plaut draws on Islamic and Jewish religious themes, Bedouin folklore and historical events, masterfully combining these distinct fragments to create a rich and absorbing story.
