Babylon to Brooklyn
This book tells the unique story of a self-made man--a man who grew up in the depths of poverty, a man who was able to overcome it and later on became a physician for President Saddam Hussein and his family. He practiced medicine in Iraq, England, and the United States and returned to Iraq after a long absence driven by his love for his homeland and its people, especially the poor and destitute. His reward, after some time, was detaining centers and prisons. He witnessed the parades of torture and heard the prisoners' outcries in the hallways where human lives had no value. He specialized in pulmonary diseases in England, worked there before traveling to the United States for postgraduate st...

The amount of research in this field appearing in the organic chemical literature is increasing because of the enhanced importance of the subject, especially in areas of medicinal chemistry and biology. In no part of the field is this more apparent than in the synthesis of oligosaccharides required by scientists working in glycobiology. Clycomedicinal chemistry and its reliance on carbohydrate synthesis is now very well established, for example, by the preparation of specific carbohydrate- based antigens, especially cancer-specific oligosaccha...

Writing the Modern History of Iraq
The modern history of Iraq is punctuated by a series of successive and radical ruptures (coups d''etat, changes of regime, military adventures and foreign invasions) whose chronological markers are relatively easy to identify. Although researchers cannot ignore these ruptures, they should also be encouraged to establish links between the moments when the breaks occur and the longue dur(r)e, in order to gain a better understanding of the period.Combining a variety of different disciplinary and methodological perspectives, this collection of essays seeks to establish some new markers which will open fresh perspectives on the history of Iraq in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and suggest a narrative that fits into new paradigms. The book covers the various different periods of the modern state (the British occupation and mandate, the monarchy, the first revolutions and the decades of Ba''thist rule) through the lens of significant groups in Iraq society, including artists, film-makers, political and opposition groups, members of ethnic and religious groups, and tribes."
