Traditionally, in general studies of the First World War, the
Middle East is an arena of combat that has been portrayed in
romanticised terms, in stark contrast to the mud, blood, and
presumed futility of the Western Front. Battles fought in Egypt,
Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Arabia offered a different narrative on
the Great War, one in which the agency of individual figures was
less neutered by heavy artillery. As with the historiography of the
Western Front, which has been the focus of sustained inquiry since
the mid-1960s, such assumptions about the Middle East have come
under revision in the last two decades - a reflection of an
emerging 'global turn' in the history of the First World War. The
'sideshow' theatres of the Great War - Africa, the Middle East,
Eastern Europe, and the Pacific - have come under much greater
scrutiny from historians. The fifteen chapters in this volume cover
a broad range of perspectives on the First World War in the Middle
East, from strategic planning issues wrestled with by statesmen
through to the experience of religious communities trying to
survive in war zones. The chapter authors look at their specific
topics through a global lens, relating their areas of research to
wider arguments on the history of the First World War.

The purpose if life is joy. James A. Kitchens, in this wonderfully
engaging book, helps us to remember our life's purpose and to
realize that the key to our own happiness lies within us-- in our
souls. He invites us to experience the happiness, love, and
satisfaction that are ours if we are only willing to look for
them-- even if it is by talking to a duck. Through examples from
the author's own life and his patients' lives, as well as from
literature, "Talking to Ducks" guides us to discover the beauty of
our internal and external worlds.
