Published for the first time in this book is the History of the Governors of Egypt by Abu Umar Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Kindi (d. 870). Edited from a single manuscript by Nicholas Koenig, this study is as close as possible to a critical edition when only one manuscript survives.

A collection of poetry to take with you wherever you may find yourself heading. An inspired collection that will move your soul as well as your mind, May you find life's cup as rich and rewarding as I.

This is a collection of poems reflecting many different events that took place throughout a period of ten years. Life is about being true to yourself and being able to recognize events and moments that define who you are and develop your character as an individual. It is a unique piece of the human experience to be able to grow from these moments and translate what you have learned into a positive introspection of your own existance. These poems are about just that. The human experience and how expressing those moments that shape you are so crucial to your growth. Enjoy.
