Preserving the Old City of Damascus (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East)

Syria

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a major cultural and religious center, Damascus is a repository of numerous civilizations, ancient and modern, that embody the collective national as well as Arab/Islamic memory. Although a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the Old City only attracted the interest of investors toward the end of the last century. The historic neighborhoods of greater Damascus became the focus of private investment when the government encouraged a more market-based national economy. Distinguished from other neighborhoods by the large number of religious buildings, historic monuments, and a wall with foundations in the Roman period, the Old City is important for government efforts to promote heritage tourism as part of their entry into the global economy.

In Preserving the Old City of Damascus, Totah examines the recent gentrification of the historic urban core of the Syrian capital and the ways in which urban space becomes the site for negotiating new economic and social realities. The book illustrates how long-term inhabitants of the historic quarter, developers, and government officials offer at times competing interpretations of urban space and its use as they vie for control over the representation of the historic neighborhoods. Based on over two years of ethnographic and archival research, this book expands our understanding of neoliberal urbanism in non-Western cities.

Maspero. “Professor Maspero does not need to be introduced to us. His name is well known in England and America as that of one of the chief masters of Egyptian science as well as of ancient Oriental history and archaeology. Alike as a philologist, a historian, and an archaeologist, he occupies a foremost place in the annals of modern knowledge and research. He possesses that quick apprehension and fertility of resource without which the decipherment of ancient texts is impossible, and he also possesses a sympathy with the past and a power of realizing it which are indispensable if we would picture it aright. His intimate acquaintance with Egypt and its literature, and the opportunities of discovery afforded him by his position for several years as director of the Bulaq Museum, give him an unique claim to speak with authority on the history of the valley of the Nile. In the present work he has been prodigal of his abundant stores of learning and knowledge, and it may therefore be regarded as the most complete account of ancient Egypt that has ever yet been published. “</p> <ul> <li>Rank: #107350 in eBooks </li> <li>Published on: 2013-12-11</li> <li>Released on: 2013-12-11</li> <li>Format: Kindle eBook</li> </ul> <center><p><a href="http://deals.alltopsale.com/us/History-Egypt-Chald%C3%A6a-Babylonia-Assyria-ebook/dp/B00HHGAUUK/slug/topblogs-us.html" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://why2.me/affadv/img/go-store.gif" /></a></p></center> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>thaninsinbunrueng</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/history-of-egypt-chaldaea-syria.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/history-of-egypt-chaldaea-syria.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-04-20T14:29:00-07:00'>2:29 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/history-of-egypt-chaldaea-syria.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-176538936'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=5573883482994699119&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=5573883482994699119&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=5573883482994699119&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

The Kurds in Syria had suddenly won autonomy, a situation that has huge implications for neighboring Turkey and the near independent Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq. Indeed, their precipitous rise may prove a tipping-point that alters the boundaries imposed on the Middle East by the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916.<br><br>These important events and what they portend for the future are scrutinized by the renowned scholar of the Kurds Michael Gunter. He also analyses the sudden rise of Salih Muslim and his Democratic Union Party (PYD) - which was created by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and remains affiliated to it - and the extremely complex and deadly fighting between factions of the Syrian Opposition affiliated with al-Qaeda such as the Jabhat al-Nusra jihadists and the PYD, among others.</p> <ul> <li>Rank: #1553849 in Books </li> <li>Published on: 2014-10-01</li> <li>Original language: English</li> <li>Number of items: 1</li> <li>Dimensions: .78 pounds </li> <li>Binding: Hardcover</li> <li>176 pages</li> </ul> <center><p><a href="http://hot.dealsuggest.com/us/Out-Nowhere-Kurds-Syria-Peace/dp/184904435X/slug/topblogs-us.html" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://why2.me/affadv/img/go-store.gif" /></a></p></center> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>thaninsinbunrueng</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/out-of-nowhere-kurds-of-syria-in-peace.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/out-of-nowhere-kurds-of-syria-in-peace.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-04-18T03:17:00-07:00'>3:17 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/out-of-nowhere-kurds-of-syria-in-peace.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-176538936'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=9190165802800656999&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=9190165802800656999&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=9190165802800656999&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

One hundred-fifty thousand dead. One million refugees. No end in sight. This is the grim reality of the conflict in Syria, one of the great tragedies of the modern era. Yet many people remain confused as to what the fighting is all about. <br><br>The Plain Of Dead Cities makes sense of this complex scenario, by delving deep into the wells of Syrian history and examining the vital role that Syria has played in human development over the past 5000 years. Using a unique approach The Plain Of Dead Cities takes the reader of a virtual tour of Syria. The narrator carries you across the country, through the history books and archaeological sites, revealing the political, religious, social, geographical and historical complexities that have led to the current military conflagration. <br><br>The Plain Of Dead Cities is as unconventional as the land it describes, part non-fictional memoir and part fiction. The Plain Of Dead Cities is an adventure and a tale, but above all is a tribute to Syria, that most mystical of lands.</p> <ul> <li>Rank: #593403 in Books </li> <li>Published on: 2014-04-01</li> <li>Binding: Paperback</li> </ul> <center><p><a href="http://deals.tweetbargain.com/us/The-Plain-Dead-Cities-Syrian/dp/1614570841/slug/isharepost-us.html" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://why2.me/affadv/img/go-store.gif" /></a></p></center> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>thaninsinbunrueng</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-plain-of-dead-cities-syrian-memoir.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-plain-of-dead-cities-syrian-memoir.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-04-13T19:33:00-07:00'>7:33 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-plain-of-dead-cities-syrian-memoir.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-176538936'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=8107188050018606118&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=8107188050018606118&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=8107188050018606118&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

The Lebansese group Hizbullah, the Palestinian group Hamas and Bashar al Asad's Syria are all critical players in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the puzzle of their relationship to their Iranian allies has confounded diplomats for many years. Would Hizbullah start a war on Israel's Northern border in the event of an Israeli air-strike on Iran? Can Syria be prised from the alliance? How will Hamas' negotiating position evolve? Drawing on her unique access to decision-makers in Lebanon, Tehran and Damascus, Amal Saad Ghorayeb unpicks this unusual strategic bloc of secularists and Islamists, Arabs and Iranians, Sunni and Shia, and seeks to provide a rigorous analysis of its mechanics. Tracing the path of funds, ideology and weapons across the Middle East, she argues that the Arab actors are not, as has often been claimed, simply Iran's 'tools' in the region. But their strategic relationships with Iran are, she finds, far more embedded than is often assumed.

Over the years, relations between the United States and Syria have fluctuated as Washington has tried to balance its commitment to Israel's security with its support for Arab regimes in order to protect vital and strategic interests in the Arab world. The Arab-Israeli conflict is, however. no longer the only focal point of the relationship. Now, terrorism has entered the fray. On the State Department's terrorism list since 1979, Syria became even more persona non grata as far as Washington was concerned when Damascus vocally opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The American war in Iraq, occupation, and promotion of democracy throughout the Middle East pose a strong challenge to the Syrian regime. The new Syrian leadership, in power only since 2000, faces immense challenges—protecting Syria's regional status and surviving internal and external threats. Against this background, Syria and the United States have set themselves on a collision course over terrorism, arms proliferation, Lebanon, the Middle East peace process, and Iraq. Syria is, nevertheless, extremely important to the United States, because it can be a force for either stability or instability in an extremely volatile region.</p><p></p><p>Recent events have put the spotlight on Syria's policies and actions. After the assassination of a Lebanese politician, protests in Lebanon led to the withdrawal of Syrian troops. While the withdrawal averted an immediate threat of bloodshed, the Bush administration accused Syria of being a source of instability in the Middle East, with Secretary of State Rice charging that Syria was still active in Lebanon and was supporting foreign terrorists fueling the insurgency in Iraq. The U.S.-Syrian relationship is of critical importance to the United States' efforts to promote democracy throughout the Middle East. At the same time, the United States has been pressuring Syria to clamp down on terrorism within its own borders. Rabil provides a history of the modern U.S.-Syrian relationship, putting the latest events in the context of this contemporary history, and placing the relationship in the context of Middle Eastern politics.</p></p> <ul> <li>Rank: #154488 in Books </li> <li>Published on: 2006-02-28</li> <li>Original language: English</li> <li>Number of items: 1</li> <li>Dimensions: 1.21" h x 6.44" w x 9.26" l, </li> <li>Binding: Hardcover</li> <li>320 pages</li> </ul> <ul> <li>ISBN13: 9780275990152</li> <li>Condition: USED - Like New</li> <li>Notes: 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Her patriarch is in Lebanon. Forty-three bishops and approximately five million faithful make up her presence throughout the world.</p><p>The story of Maron, a fifth-century hermit-priest, and the community gathered around him, later called the Maronites, tells another fascinating story of the monastic and missionary movements of the Church. Maron's story takes place in the context of Syrian monasticism, which was a combination of both solitary and communal life, and is a narrative of Christians of the Middle East as they navigated the rough seas of political divisions and ecclesiastical controversies from the fourth to the ninth centuries.</p><p>Abbot Paul Naaman, a Maronite scholar and former Superior General of the Order of Lebanese Maronite Monks, wisely places the study of the origins of the Maronite Church squarely in the midst of the history of the Church. His book, <i>The Maronites: The Origins of an Antiochene Church</i>, published during the sixteenth centenary of Maron's death, offers plausible insights into her formation and early development, grounding the Maronite Church in her Catholic, Antiochian, Syriac, and monastic roots.</p><p><i>Abbot Paul Naaman is a Maronite scholar and former Superior General of the Order of Lebanese Maronite Monks.</i></p> <ul> <li>Rank: #1191737 in Books </li> <li>Published on: 2011-02-01</li> <li>Original language: English</li> <li>Number of items: 1</li> <li>Dimensions: .60" h x 5.40" w x 8.40" l, </li> <li>Binding: Paperback</li> <li>216 pages</li> </ul> <center><p><a href="http://deals.tweetbargain.com/us/The-Maronites-Cistercian-Studies-Series/dp/0879072431/slug/topblogs-us.html" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://why2.me/affadv/img/go-store.gif" /></a></p></center> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/14959351657524685514' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>thaninsinbunrueng</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-maronites-cistercian-studies-series.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-maronites-cistercian-studies-series.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-04-07T00:38:00-07:00'>12:38 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-maronites-cistercian-studies-series.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-176538936'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5170131497412738967&postID=1231556126708571432&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/search/label/lebanon' rel='tag'>lebanon</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Thursday, April 3, 2014</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://deals.bestsellersale.com/images/I/511KEYR7CCL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='5170131497412738967' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='1410128523016190160' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='1410128523016190160'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://greatsyria743.blogspot.com/2014/04/syria-in-pictures-visual-geography.html'>Syria In Pictures (Visual Geography.
