A passing coincidence may be the starting spark to change the course of a whole life. After continuous years of ruling the Ukhaydharia State in a manner that did not realize the real state of its Money House -as it mainly relied on the proceeds of commercial caravan taxes between Ahsa and the Hejaz, passing through the lands of Yamamah-, comes the coincident meeting of Michael and Ibn Tamim as the initiator of a series of events that exposed what was hidden from Ismael Al-Ukhaydhari, not only within the scope of the Money House, but the state internal and external politics, which has lead the Emir, Yousif Al-Ukhaydhari, to comply with reforming schemes and policies meant to achieve the state's sustainability; supported with marginalizing current wealth-distribution schemes so they pour this wealth through the layers of the labor-force pyramid instead of pouring from the top of that pyramid."Ibn Tamim, the godfather of this narration, says: "As hatred exiles, criticism clears". In the content of this narration there are proofs and reasonings that contradict the intentions to any other purposes, as they strive to achieve one goal: improving your perspective to the state's macro-economy in a way that gives you the ability to understand the distinguishment between democracy in an sustainable economy and its counterpart in a rentier economy that relies mainly on a single source of income, by which you will be more familiar with the fundamentals of visions, goals, and strategies, which improves your ability to understand the causes of the economic and political changes that occur in our lives, everyday."رُب صدفة عابرة تكون شرارة البداية، لتغيير مجريات حياة بأسرها. من سبات طال، وبعد سنين طوال في ظل استمرار حُكم الدولة الأخيضرية بنحو لم تدرك فيه تردي حال بيت مالها، لاعتماده على ريع ضرائب القوافل التجارية بين الأحساء والحجاز مرورا بأراضي اليمامة، جاء لقاء ميخائيل بابن تميم محض صدفة، تتوالى من بعده الأحداث إلى أن ينكشف الستار عما خفي أمره لإسماعيل الأخيضري، من مؤامرات وتداعيات لا تقتصر على نطاق بيت المال وحسب، بل على نطاق سياسة الدولة بأكملها، داخليا وخارجيا، لينصاع الأمير يوسف الأخيضري بغير خيار منه، للاستجابة لمخططات وسياسات من شأنها أن تحقق استدامة الدولة الأخيضرية، مدعمة بالعدول عن سوء سياسة توزيع الثروة، لتصب في طبقات هرم العاملين في الدولة، عوضا عن أن تصب في أعلى ذلك الهرم."يقول ابن تميم، عراب هذه الرواية «إذا انتفى الحقد، صفا النقد ، ففي فحوى هذه الرواية صفاء عبر وعلل تنفي عن مقاصدها أي غرض آخر، ساعية بجهدها الحثيث إلى تحقيق غاية واحدة هي تحسين منظورك للاقتصاد الكلي للدولة، على نحو يمنحك القدرة على فهم الفرق بين نظام الشورى في اقتصاد مستدام، ونظيره في اقتصاد ريعي قائم على مصدر دخل واحد، لتكسبك الإلمام بأسس الرؤى وأهدافها وآليات عملها، والقدرة على استنتاج أسباب المتغيرات الاقتصادية والسياسية التي نشهدها كل يوم في واقع حياتنا."
Turkish-English translation of selected poems of Yunus Emre, the famous Sufi mystical poet. A remarkable achievement in translation. Erse remains as true as possible to the actual Turkish meaning of words, selecting each one with the care that only a truly bilingual person, and one very well-schooled in Sufism, could ever achieve. As an example, there is another translation reading "Hold on to the hand of a striding hero", which Erse instead translates to the much closer actual words of "Hold on to the skirt of an attained one". This totally changes the meaning, encouraging the reader to find a true Sheikh and hold fast to his teachings. Erse strove to give English-speakers as close to the same experience, in English, as Yunus delivers in Turkish. For example, Yunus sometimes makes up words, adding endings like "ingly" (see poem #9), and Erse is faithful to that; this is most obvious in poem #24, "Crazy Dervish". Without Erse unveiling that for us, we English-speakers would never know Yunus' playful aspect with words (unique to this translation). Where he could do so without sacrificing accuracy, the poems still rhyme. Erse has judiciously omitted articles such as "the" or "a" to make each line the exact same number of syllables as in the Yunus Turkish spoken version. At first this may give the reader the experience that the poems use strange English, but you'll soon become accustomed to the poetic value and see the true beauty of Yunus' work.

Tegan Rowe is a lion shifter with a secret. When she finds out her ex has a secret of his own, she flees town to escape one of the biggest mafia dons on the East Coast. She's not fast enough. After trusting the wrong man, Tegan finds herself running from a life she'd only seen on the news. Fleeing, Tegan is almost to her safe place when she wrecks in the middle of nowhere. Hiding out in a cabin is her only course of action. When someone breaks down the door, she prays it's the owner. It's not. Taken to the mafia compound, Tegan knows her life is forfeit. No one knows where she is. But she has a reason to fight. A reason to not become another statistic. Jackson "Sultan" Lynch is a Gryphon shifter. As sergeant-at-arms for his MC, his life is full of family, yet something is missing. When someone breaks into his cabin in the woods, Sultan goes to investigate and finds more than he ever bargained for. Knowing next to nothing about the female who broke in then disappeared, Sultan and his beast are intrigued and want to make Tegan theirs. He just has to find her first. When he does, convincing her that he's nothing like her ex isn't a hardship since the man was a loser. Convincing her to come home with him where he can treat her like she deserves is another story. She fears for his safety, but Tegan doesn't know Sultan has his own secrets. If Sultan has anything to say about it, her running days are over, and he'll protect her from those looking to see her behind bars or worse. The Hounds have never gone up against someone as powerful as Phil Bucco, but Sultan will risk it all for the female who can give him everything he's ever dreamed of, and he can give her something she hasn't had in years - hope. Book 8 in the Hounds of Zeus MC is filled with action, bikers, Gryphons, Gargoyles, and an evil mafia don. Sultan's Pride is written to be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read the series in order. The Hounds of Zeus MC is a spin-off/crossover of The Stone Society Series and might contain spoilers. *Waging War (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 1)*Double the Mayhem (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 2)*Starting a Ryot (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 3)*Wreaking Havyk (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 4)*The Spyder's Web (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 5)*Master of Kayos (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 6)*The Ripley Effect (The Hounds of Zeus MC, Book 7)
Michael Crick tells the extraordinary story of the man who put the swing into British politics. Sir David Butler pioneered the science of elections, bringing the voting figures to life on national television. An Oxford boffin who has publicly analysed every British general election since the war, Butler has done more than anyone to transform TV coverage of British elections. As a twenty-year-old student in 1945, Butler was the first to turn election results into percentages, and hence a science. And seventy-two years later, the academic known as the 'father of psephology' was using Twitter to talk about the contest in 2017. Back in 1950, as an expert on the BBC's first TV election night, Butler promoted the idea of 'swing' to explain gains and losses to the British public. Later he invented the BBC's popular Swingometer, which is still used today, and helped make the BBC's results broadcast the `go-to' programme, combining authority, academic rigour and showmanship. Having first been summoned by Churchill for polling advice when he was only twenty-five, David Butler got to know most of Britain's senior post-war politicians, and has acted as a highly influential voice behind the scenes. He has written dozens of books and taught scores of leading figures in politics, the media and universities around the world, building a huge international reputation which regularly took him to America, Australia and India. Award-winning TV correspondent Michael Crick has known David Butler for forty years. Based on interviews with Butler himself, his friends, colleagues and family, and with access to many previously unseen papers, Crick chronicles the long and energetic life of the greatest analyst of British elections - a story which weaves its way through post-war history with surprises, colour and humour.
A visionary leader and a charming diplomat, this catalogue unveils a largely private collection of objects belonging to His Highness the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman. The 50 artefacts from the Renaissance collection, currently held in the National Museum of Oman, have been chosen to offer an intimate portrait of the Sultan's 50-year reign. The collection showcases treasures – many seen here for the first time – received from friends and rulers worldwide as well as symbolic objects that reflect the early years of Oman’s independence. Through 50 significant objects and the elegant integration of the Sultan's own inspiring quotes as calligraphy, this beautifully illustrated book provides a unique and personal perspective on a transformative era.
Fighting the Ottoman invaders in Constantinople in 1453, Emperor Constantine XI was killed, his body never found. Legend has it that he escaped in a Genoese ship, cheating certain death at the hands of the Turks and earning himself the title of Immortal Emperor. Five centuries after his disappearance, three mysterious men contact a young professor living in Istanbul. Members of a secret sect, they have guarded the Immortal Emperor's will for generations. They tell him that he is the next Byzantine emperor and that in order to take possession of his fortune he must carry out his ancestor's last wishes. The professor embarks on a dangerous journey, taking him to the heart of a mystery of epic historical significance. The Sultan of Byzantium is a symbiosis of story and history and a homage to Byzantine civilisation.
An account of the first crossing of the Omani desert by motorcar, as Jan Morris accompanied the Sultan on his royal progress, with the winds of change - oil and revolution - in the background.
Sultan Selim I was an extraordinary sultan who virtually re-established the Ottoman state. This work relates his approach to developments in his time with an objective style and comparative analysis. It is an important reference for those who seek serious information about the period in which he lived. The book focuses on the life of Sultan Selim I: his childhood, princedom, struggle for power, sultanate, approaches to matters with the East, his struggle with Shah Ismail, his first and second campaigns to the East, and period of caliphate from many aspects. This notable work, which almost leaves no dark point about the period, is the fruit of a praiseworthy study.
