This textbook assembles key writings on the modern history of the
Middle East by some of the most distinguished specialists in the
field. The book aims to meet the needs of a wide range of students.
After a general introduction by Albert Hourani, the essays are
arranged in four sections: reforming elites and changing relations
with Europe 1789-1918; transformation in society and economy
1789-1918; imperialism and nationalism in the interwar period; and
the Middle East since World War II. This revised edition contains a
range of additional material on the history of the region since the
1990s.
The defining examination of the new role of women in America?now
fully revised
When first published in 2004, Marie Wilson's "Closing the
Leadership Gap" finally drew attention to what everyone knew but no
one talked about?the lack of women in America's leadership
positions, even though compelling research shows that women enhance
the top decision-making process dramatically. And yet, even as our
nation sits on a world spinning with crises, we have barely begun
to tap that most critical natural resource. With the possibility of
America's first woman president looming large, now is the time to
revisit this inspiring call to action.
As the daughters of baby boomer moms approach womanhood the
questions begin. Will I teach my daughter the right things? How do
I correct the mistakes my mother made with me?
Mother Daughter Revolution: From Betrayal to Power addresses all
the issues that a mother guiding a budding woman could possibly
need to know about. Authors Elizabeth Debold, Marie Wilson, and
Idelisse Malave approach these dilemmas as would any other mother
who is concerned with the survival of her daughter in a
male-dominant society would. This book centers on women's attempts
to build trusting relationships with their daughters. The
foundation of this trust is based on removing the feeling of
betrayal that develops when daughters feel that their mothers have
not prepared them for the earthshaking changes they experience
during adolescence. Lack of preparation for these changes leads to
a lack of confidence and an inability to deal with competition.
Mother Daughter Revolution is written in a problem and solution
style and describes the path from adolescence to womanhood through
identifiable stories and anecdotes. Many mothers recount stories of
being told by their mothers to "be nice" because "nice girls get
married and get good things." Well, these new mothers opt to tell
their daughters that being nice is not always an option, especially
if "being nice" infringes upon their rights.
