Shaykh Mithqal al-Fayiz's life spanned a period of dramatic transformation in the Middle East. Born in the 1880s during a time of rapid modernization across the Ottoman Empire, Mithqal led his tribe through World War I, the development and decline of colonial rule and founding of Jordan, the establishment of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict that ensued, and the rise of pan-Arabism. As Mithqal navigated regional politics over the decades, he redefined the modern role of the shaykh.
In following Mithqal's remarkable life, this book explores tribal leadership in the modern Middle East more generally. The support of Mithqal's tribe to the Jordanian Hashemite regime extends back to the creation of Jordan in 1921 and has characterized its political system ever since. The long-standing alliances between tribal elites and the royal family explain, to a large extent, the extraordinary resilience of Hashemite rule in Jordan and the country's relative stability. Mithqal al-Fayiz's life and work as a shaykh offer a notable individual story, as well as a unique window into the history, society, and politics of Jordan.

Описание: Religion can be both inspiring and distressing. And many critiques of it are simultaneously compelling and dubious. Shay examines atheist arguments with a refreshing modern eye in this comprehensive look at our most fundamental questions about faith and reason. "At the heart of In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism is the enduring question of the value of living a religious life. The book begins over a sushi dinner, when Scott Shay's business acquaintance, a self-proclaimed atheist, ridicules belief in God and places scientific progress as our guidepost for improving the world. Shay chooses not to defend God over appetizers; instead, he has shared his response in what he calls a 'book on rational belief in God.' "The book covers forty-one chapters, broken down into six parts, all of which explore the common arguments of atheists. Shay begins by exploring the difference between monotheism and idolatry, highlighting how the modern model for moral behavior is built on the Abrahamic faiths. Idolatry, he claims, is the enemy of morality and the practice against which atheists should direct their criticism, as it leads to the 'widespread exploitation of the many by the deified few.' Monotheism as reflected in the Bible, Shay contends, 'provided nothing less than a template for a radical revolution in how man related to God, other men, and the world.' "In Good Faith continues with a discussion of the value of free will, though Shay admits it opens the door to evil. In section four, Shay questions the challenge to prove or disprove God's existence and role in creation; in section five, he discusses the historical accuracy of the Bible. In the book's final section, Shay suggests that both rejection and acceptance of God's existence require a leap of faith. "Recognizing that he's most comfortable with the Hebrew Bible and the Jewish tradition, Shay sought out Muslim and Christian thought leaders in order to better understand how the other Abrahamic religions might answer the questions raised in his book. Excerpts from these conversations, which reveal an extraordinary depth of religious conviction, enhance Shay's arguments in favor of religion. "In Good Faith is a fresh reworking of a perennially challenging subject. Shay's thoughtful and accessible writing style will make the book engaging to a wide variety of readers." --Jonathan Fass, Chief Operating Officer of Jewish Family Service (Stamford, CT), for the National Jewish Book Awards, Jewish Book Council

He's strong and intelligent, but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful young woman in his pit trap, it's obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn't know where she came from, she's wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he's determined to fulfill his purpose in life - provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her.Elizabeth doesn't know where she is or exactly how she got there. She's confused and distressed by her predicament, and there's a caveman hauling her back to his cavehome. She's not at all interested in Ehd's primitive advances, and she just can't seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive but beautiful man is a constant - and often hilarious - struggle. With only each other for company, they must rely on one another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter months. As they struggle to coexist, theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.

An empowering and indispensable book that gives female athletes the tools to develop the most essential super power of all -- Confidence.
In youth sports, the majority focus is spent on the physical side of sport: becoming faster, stronger, and more skilled, yet there is an apparent lack of resources and programs dedicated to developing confidence in female athletes -- which is vital for developing well-rounded athletes.
The pressure for youth female athletes to succeed is higher than ever, and without the confidence and self-belief, girls are quitting sports at an alarming rate. Not only does confidence affect female athlete's performance and enjoyment of the sport, but more importantly, it affects how they lead their lives.

Lack self-confidence, on and off the playing field
Overthink in games
Are afraid to make mistakes
Let failure hold them back
Are riddled with self-doubt
Packed with specific strategies, action steps, and real-life stories, She the Confident teaches female athletes how to overcome self-doubt, embrace failure, break limitations, and achieve success, on and off the playing field.
