"'Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization' by Linda Pappas Funsch is a well-documented book on the sultanate that traces the Gulf country's history of independence, its legacy of interaction with diverse cultures and enlightened modern leadership. ... The book illustrates how Sultan Qaboos used his discrete foreign policy to defuse tensions between Washington and Tehran after the Iranian government arrested three Americans in different situations." (Hussein Shehadeh, thearabweekly.com, May, 2018)
"Freelance specialist Funsch, who focuses on the Middle East and, particularly, the Sultanate of Oman, presents a well-organized and detailed analysis of Omani history, culture, and contemporary aspects. ... Keeping in mind the author's very positive and sympathetic perspective, readers will glean much significant information and valuable insight into 'one of a few good news stories to emerge from the Middle East.' Summing Up: Recommended. General and undergraduate collections." (B. Harris Jr., Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
"Linda Pappas Funsch, in Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization, focuses more on Oman's very recent history.

"Pappas-Funsch delightfully provides the reader with an overarching introduction to the country's rich cultural heritage which then sets the grounds for an eloquent explaination of Qaboos's foreign policy ... . By writing this very important book, Pappas-Funsch has indeed succeeded in reaching a larger audience about the uniqueness of Oman within the Arab world and how it truly stands out as one of the few 'good news' stories to emerge from the Middle East in the contemporary era ... ."

Автор: Mansfield Stephen Название: The Miracle of Kurdistan: The Remarkable Story of Hope Reborn in Northern Iraq ISBN: 1617950793 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781617950797 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 49660.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield was witness to much of the modern history of the Kurds. In this riveting account, Mansfield movingly tells the stories of the people who have fashioned one of the greatest economic and cultural resurrections in human history. They are the largest people group in the world without a homeland of their own. Despised and persecuted the world over, they even call themselves "the people without a friend." Saddam Hussein tried to wipe them from the face of the earth, killing several hundred thousand of them in the attempt. Their sufferings have become legend. They are the Kurds, descendants of the ancient Medes best known today from the pages of the Bible -- inhabitants of what the world now calls Northern Iraq. Yet today the Kurds are rebuilding so brilliantly from war and oppression that even their enemies call it "a miracle." Six star hotels stand where bombs once fell, shopping malls and gleaming schools rise where massacres once occurred. National Geographic and Conde Nast have listed modern "Kurdistan" as a "must-see" tourist destination.
