Margaret Thatcher unalterably changed the face of Britain. This volume, the first book-length bibliography on Thatcher, will help the researcher to evaluate her impact. The volume opens with a brief biography, which includes coverage of Thatcher's monetary and social market policies, her special relationship with Ronald Reagan, her foreign and domestic policies, and her attitudes toward women and equal opportunity issues. The bibliography, which comprises the bulk of the book, provides a comprehensive guide to works on Thatcher's life and career. Entries are annotated except when a title is self-explanatory. Coverage is devoted primarily to English-language materials. The book includes full indexes. The book will be an important aide for all scholars, researchers, and students concerned with British politics.

Gamal Abdel Nasser arguably has had the greatest impact of any Middle Eastern leader of the twentieth century. His significance lies in his fostering of modern Pan-Arab thought, institutions, and policies, his transformation of Egypt from a feudal state under British protection to a developing industrial nation, and his contributions to third world politics. Despite his importance, however, the last thorough examination of Nasser's life and impact was published more than twenty years ago. Faysal Mikdadi's volume helps to draw together the writing on Nasser and to re-examine the origins of his thinking and the impact of his writings and policies. After a capsule biography of Nasser and a detailed chronology, the volume is divided into chapters covering specific aspects of Nasser's life. Each chapter contains explanatory notes and a full bibliography. In addition to citing works in English, Arabic, and French, Mikdadi has included works from other major languages as well. Each bibliographical citation is accompanied by a brief summary note. The volume concludes with comprehensive author, periodical, and subject indexes. This work will be invaluable for scholars and students concerned with twentieth-century Middle Eastern Studies.

These are poems and paintings which reflect the poet's struggle to make order out of chaos. For years, Mikdadi has struggled for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. At different junctures in his life, his despair at the intransigence of both sides and at the sheer cruelty of what Palestinians have had to endure, led him to write poetry and, occasionally, to paint in watercolours. These are some of the poems and paintings that he produced during his life. They speak for themselves. Maeve Binchy felt that Faysal Mikdadi's passion makes his poetry impossible to ignore. There is also a black and white version of this colour book also published by Lulu. It has been printed because this colour version, being printed entirely in colour, was deemed a trifle expensive. The black and white version allows readers to afford a copy. This colour version has also been published as an e-book.

This is a collection of short stories written especially to brighten up each reader's Christmas. Like all things Christmassy, everything is possible in this dream world. Immerse yourself in Mikdadi's Christmas fantasy where everything ends with a smile on every single character's face. Christmas brings people together. Miracle of miracles, it even causes family members to like each other. That is the true spirit of Christmas. Mikdadi reflects the joy of Christmas so evocatively and so beautifully. These short stories, which were written to be read to the author's children on Christmas Eve, will reverberate in the reader's mind for a long time after the book has been put down. Mikdadi's children now have children of their own. These, and many new stories, will be their future Christmas fare.

These two stories were written during two visits, one to Neuchatel, Switzerland and the other to Florence, Italy. In both stories, Mikdadi tries to make sense of events around him and to create some order out of perceived chaos. He does so with gentle satire and the occasional fury. Snowflake has received considerable critical praise for its dream like quality and for its gentle and zany humour. The narrator arrives at his stepmother's home in Neuchatel and, through a stream of consciousness narration, he alternates between the present and his unhappy past and his failed marriage. He links his current observations with his sad experiences and desperately tries to make some sense of his seemingly empty life and his Diaspora existence.

These are short stories written during various visits to Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. Many of the stories were inspired by real experiences during meetings with interesting people and during long solitary walks in both cities and their surrounding countrysides. Mikdadi tries to make some sense of a hilariously disordered world and some order out of chaos. These short stories are memorable. As the late Maeve Binchy said of Mikdadi's writings, his words cannot help but move all readers.
