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.

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.
She the Confident is for youth female athletes who:
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.
