The Middle East has become an increasingly important place in the minds and concerns of the English-speaking world. This volume, originally published under the title Jerusalem Arabic, is the gold standard for anyone beginning to learn the Arabic spoken by Palestinians, or those who live in Syria or Lebanon. Written in transcription using the Roman alphabet, the "Levantine" Arabic, or Jerusalem dialect, is a central Middle Eastern dialect and is recognized by Arabs virtually anywhere--in large part due to the Palestinian diaspora--and a good choice for anyone wishing to learn a base Arabic dialect. Enhanced by a CD with MP3 files (replacing the former set of nine audiocassettes), Eastern Arabic provides the best available structured introduction to the essential features and vocabulary of spoken Palestinian Arabic.
Teaches the spoken language of Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese Arabs through transcription rather than traditional orthography.

DI Frank Lyle is about to confront the depths of human depravity and despair. It's autumn 1991 and a horde of Anglican clergy has just descended on Ashbeck for an ecumenical conference at St Luke's church. DI Lyle and his team are called in to investigate when the mutilated body of curate Martin Hayes is found in the churchyard. They are assisted by Canon Thomas Rice, a former police officer, who is able to see both sides. But who was Martin Hayes, and did aspects of his troubled past lead to his brutal demise? As the team get closer to the truth they begin to understand Hayes. But will too much knowledge prove a dangerous thing? This revised edition features a ""taster"" excerpt from the next DI Lyle novel Murder in the Wings.
