The Fertile Crescent, the region encompassing Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, has, despite its name, historically faced challenges to food security from Imperial powers and, more recently, foreign agribusiness. The Empty Bread Basket unravels the paradoxes of food and empire in the Fertile Crescent using a comparative and historical political economy of agrarian change. The structures that condition rural development in the region are traced historically, as the result of capitalist development and colonially mediated state-building that began during the 19th century Ottoman Tanzimat reform and accelerated with the imposition of Western colonialism after World War I. The contemporary food dependence of the Fertile Crescent is explained as the cumulative outcome of these historical processes and the agendas of Western governments and international development agencies.As commodity prices soar across the world, food security is set to become a key issue for students studying Middle Eastern politics and development studies.
The Soviet Union and Egypt, first published in 1993, sheds new light on Soviet policy towards the Middle East after 1945. It seeks to uncover and analyse the events leading to the eventual domination of Egypt and other Arab countries by the Soviet Union. Soviet penetration into the region can only be understood by tracing the roots and motives of Soviet policy after the Second World War. The strengthening of Soviet influence resulted from a process of gradual political and ideological development in Egypt. Special attention is drawn to domestic and foreign developments in both countries, and the book makes extensive use of recently declassified documents and primary sources.

Topical and novel, this book critically explores the possible, probable and preferable futures of tourism destinations exposing the reader to numerous issues and challenges related to current, global societies and geopolitical settings and adaptive strategies to mitigate such challenges at all levels and contexts.This is based on unique longitudinal research over 15 years comparing and contrasting destinations in mature urban metropolitan destination, (emerging) island destination with many developments and fast developing destination in the Asia Pacific (Melbourne, Chiangmai, Sri Lanka, Bali, Penang). The interconnected facets of a community, internal issues and challenges, external drivers of change, and government interventions in envisioning the future of these destinations are explored along with core issues of climate change, sustainability, ecological and socio-ecological dimensions of destinations. This significant volume offers insight into the environmental, political, and economic challenges facing destinations and possible ways of alleviating these at different scales and contexts informing future policy and development.This book is essential reading for all students, researchers, academics interested in tourism futures.
The book presents advanced techniques for enhancing mobility management across evolving wireless systems, including 5G and beyond. It introduces innovative handover decision algorithms that leverage user movement patterns, historical data, and multi-criteria optimisation to improve the reliability and efficiency of both horizontal and vertical handovers. Focusing on dense femtocell-macrocell environments, the book proposes refined handover parameters and distance-based vertical handover methods for small-cell transitions. It addresses mobility challenges faced by high-mobility users, such as in vehicular and intelligent transportation systems, by introducing trajectory-based handover prediction models. The practical applications of these techniques are explored within the contexts of smart cities, IoT ecosystems, and future network infrastructures.Introduces novel techniques to optimise horizontal and vertical handovers, addressing key challenges in dense and heterogeneous networks.Proposes refined parameters for reliable handover performance in femtocell, macrocell, and small-cell environments.Enhances target cell selection strategies using trajectory-based predictions for users in rapid motion.Develops distance-based vertical handover methods to improve handovers for low-mobility users within small-cell deployments.Explores real-world use cases across intelligent transport systems, urban infrastructure, and IoT networks.Aligns proposed solutions with next-generation wireless standards and mobility requirements.This book is a practical guide and essential reference for researchers, engineers, and students in wireless communications, networking, and mobility management.
Life is a long road and we are like cars driving along the road - BUT WHO IS THE DRIVER?We are consistently in movement, reaching junctions dozens if not hundreds of times a day, needing to make decisions, some of them important or critical to our path down the road.Who is the driver? Who makes those decisions? Is it our rationale, our mind, or common sense? Or is it our feelings and will? You bought tickets to two different concerts, one was great deal that cost only $50 and the second cost $250. You made a mistake and you didn't notice that both concerts are on the same day.The tickets are nonrefundable, and you can't give them to a third party. You have to choose which concert to go. You know that the concert you paid $50 for is really a great one and the concert you paid $250 for is supposed to be good. Now, make a decision Research showed that most will choose to go to the $250 concert, even though they know it's a less good one, just because they paid so much money for it.The result is that you will end paying $300 for the less successful concert That's a feeling making decision.Dale Carnegie in his book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" writes, "When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."Dr. Daniel Goleman in his book: "Emotional Intelligence" talks about how the majority of our actions is powered by emotions and feelings and how can it be that in one moment we can be so intelligent and in another so irrational? Kabbalah explains that the little common sense we have is drowning in the deep sea of desires and passions. It also says that the idea that human beings can transform themselves-that we are not captive to our mental and emotional configurations has tremendous power.If that's the case, the question is: Can we learn to be master of our emotional brain? And the answer is yes

For decades, the doctrine of the 'Unity of the Nile Valley' united Egyptians of a variety of political and nationalist backgrounds. Many Egyptians regarded Sudan as an integral part of their homeland, and therefore battled to rid the entire Nile Valley of British imperialism and unite its inhabitants under the Egyptian crown. Here, Rami Ginat provides a vital and important revised account of the history of Egypt's colonialist struggle and their efforts to prove categorically that the Nile Valley constituted a single territorial unit. These were clustered around several dominant theoretical layers: history, geography, economy, culture and ethnography. This book, for both Middle Eastern and African historians, uses a mixture of Arabic and English sources to critically examine the central stages in the historical development of Egypt's doctrine, concentrating on the defining decade (1943–1953) that first witnessed both the pinnacle of the doctrine's struggle and the subsequent shattering of a consensual nationalist dream.
