Challenging Environmental Issues
This volume is the result of the co-author's keen interest in better understanding the environmental problems faced by all countries in the Middle East. It is also the result of the co-authors' deep commitment to urge Middle Eastern citizens and their leaders to work together for better protection of their precious and fragile environment so that it may be saved for the enjoyment and safety of future generations. In the Middle East, geography and arid and simi-arid climatic conditions have led to a concentration of people in coastal zones and river valleys with acute water shortages, water and air pollution, increasing soil erosion, and intensifying desertification all creating serious environmental challenges. All these issues are addressed by eight leading scholars in eight chapters which include Jordan, Oman, Lebanon, Israel, Sudan, the Arabian Gulf, Iran, Syria. Contributors are Badria A. Al-Awadhi, Joseph G. Jabra, Nancy W. Jabra, Jamil E. Jreisat, Joseph A. Keckichian, Alon Tal, Rania Masri, Damazo Dut Majak, Gloria Ibrahim Saliba, and Seid M. Zekavat.
Arab Cooking on a Saskatchewan Homestead
In Arab Cooking on a Saskatchewan Homestead, over 200 recipes and the author's recollections from childhood combine to tell the story of a little-known group of early immigrants to the Saskatchewan prairies--the Syrians (most of them later known as Lebanese). There was a significant Syrian community in Saskatchewan during the Depression, and as Mr. Salloum points out, their traditional foods and crops were well-suited to the dryland farming that the drought of the 1930s demanded. Thus they thrived during this difficult period on the prairies. Their traditional foods--such as yogurt, chickpeas, and burghul--were, at the time, virtually unknown to their fellow homesteaders; today, however, these same foods are an important part of an increasingly varied and globally influenced North American cuisine.
Women and Development in the Middle East and North Africa
This book asks whether women in the Middle East and North Africa benefit from development, and if so, in what ways. The answers are developed in a series of essays on Afghanistan, Palestine/Israel, Iran, Algeria, Iraq, Suadi Arabia, Morocco, and Egypt. The authors are an international group of social scientists.
Women and Development in the Middle East and North Africa
Broadly speaking, women and development can be viewed as the empowerment of women in a Third World context. Accordingly, the question arises whether women in the Middle East and North Africa benefit from development, and, if so, in what way? The essays in this volume survey a number of countries in the region to address these questions. The countries covered include Afghanistan, Palestine/Israel, Iran, Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Egypt. There is also a general essay on women and development. The authors themselves are an international group of social scientists specializing in the region.
