"The Egypt Experience" is an uplifting, inspirational book. A book
that will inspire the reader to forge ahead and never to give up
when faced with difficult or adverse situations. "The Egypt
Experience" gives us to know that somewhere in our lives we will
face some rough times but that God will always be there to see us
through until the end and that we are never alone. "The Egypt
Experience" gives the readers the blessed assurance that God is
still in control of our lives and He will always protect and
provide for His children.
Oftentimes, colleges and universities fail to prepare prospective
students for all that accompanies everyday life in a college
setting. Questions such as, What are some of the dangers of campus
life? How can I avoid extensive parking violations? and, How can I
best protect myself against campus crime? often go unanswered
because they are unpleasant topics, with complicated answers. It is
my hope that "The Other Side to Campus Life" will illuminate some
of these potential pitfalls of campus life and improve the overall
college experience for incoming students.
Dialect, Culture, and Society in Eastern Arabia is a three-volume
study of the Arabic dialects spoken in Bahrain by its older
generation in the mid-1970s, and the socio-cultural factors that
produced them. Volume 1: Glossary, published in 2001, lists all the
dialectal vocabulary, with extensive contextual exemplification,
and cross-referenced to other lexica, which occurred in the
complete set of texts recorded during fieldwork. Volume 2:
Ethnographic Texts presents a selection of these texts,
transcribed, annotated and translated, and with detailed background
essays, covering major aspects of the pre-oil culture of the Gulf
and the initial stages of the transition to the modern era: pearl
diving, agriculture, communal relations, marriage, childhood,
domestic life, work. Excerpts from local dialect poems concerned
with these subjects are also included. Volume 3: Phonology,
Morphology, Syntax, Style is based on an extensive archive of
recorded material, gathered for its ethnographic as well as its
purely linguistic interest.
