Text in Arabic. This book seeks, first of all, to make a modest contribution to trying to bridge the gap between the young reader and his narrative, written and oral heritage, as most of these tales are mainly drawn from our Arab heritage, and some of them may be from the global heritage. Secondly, it seeks to contribute to the reconciliation of the younger generation with reading, after their repulsion from it, and them drowning in the quicksand of the modernized means of communication. It thirdly seeks rehabilitating the memorization, one of the branches to the Arabic language, which has been largely marginalised by public education curriculum in our Arab nations.

This book reveals the intricacies of inter-civilisational relations between Northern and Southern countries and details the resultant mistreatment of Southern nations. It discusses the North's centralizing and condescending approach that has greatly harmed both stability and peace in the modern world. Starting with the author's own personal experience and proceeding to offer a succinct historical overview, the West's blatant disregard for many contributions from other human civilizations - including the Arab-Islamic civilisation - appear in stark contrast. Having worked in the fields of diplomacy and culture for decades, the author aims to remind this generation of Arabs of their own heritage, hitherto overshadowed by conflicts and neglect of their role in building human civilization. The author calls for building bridges instead of erecting barriers and a completely new approach to relations between the North and the South; a message which resonates globally. "Bridges, not Barriers" is already in circulation in Arabic, German, French, Spanish and Farsi.

Text in Arabic. The "Blood and Flesh" novel might seem an ordinary story about wealth and poverty, love that have not be attained, or even the excessive attachment to life's amenities instead of seeing the true essence of matters; but in fact it carries a more far and deep meanings than these as it triggers questions about life, death, love and how important believing in Allah is. Francois Mauriac, the famous French novelist, succeeded in drafting each character in his novel, who all struggled with themselves to find their identities, despite their social differences, cultural backgrounds, their customs, and belief. A novel worth reading for what is carried between its pages on revelation, confession, secrets, and search for elusive answers.

As the need for economic growth takes a salient role in the political discourse of society's welfare and progress, the middle class, as a social grouping existing within socioeconomic structures, has a multiplier effect - politically and culturally. The middle class serves a vital role in supporting a country's growth through stimulating economic development and promoting a politically engaged society. By examining Vietnam and Serbia as ideologically attuned countries which differ in economic development, the author draws on functionalist, dimensional paradigms to underline how critical the rise of middle class is in understanding the political stability of modern societies before concluding that society's sub-social challenges and cultural determinants do affect the course of development and growth. This comprehensive study will appeal to social scientists with interests in political stability, ideological states and development narratives.
