Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press The Logic of Violence in Civil Wars

From the perspective of various disciplines, starting with political science, passing through sociology, psychology, war studies, history, statistics, and mathematics, the author concludes that civil war is not insane, and that its violence is not driven by emotions or an emotional state, but rather has a logic from which sparks and sustains it.

Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press Narratives of Children's Literature in Qatar
Text in Arabic. Until now, not much has been written about the narratives of childrens literature in Qatar, despite its importance. With the rise of children's literature in Arab countries in general and Qatar in particular, studies exploring this literary field from a cultural perspective have not developed when compared to the vast academic research available from Western countries and about childrens literature in the West. As the rise of childrens literature in Qatar has increased tenfold in the current era, this book reviews the three stages that childrens stories in Qatar have progressed through: their humble beginnings, their extension, and into maturity. It deals with examples of stories in each stage, and analyses their narrative structures, through descriptive reading and analytical reading, to find out the most prominent narrative characteristics, and follow the development of children's literature in its local context.
