Synopsis

The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of World War I, fought between July and November 1916 near the Somme River in France. The Second Phase took place in the autumn of 1916. After the initial Allied attacks in July failed to achieve a breakthrough, the battle settled into a war of attrition. In September, the British launched new attacks north of the Somme near Flers-Courcelette, utilizing tanks for the first time. Although the tanks had limited success, the British were able to advance and capture the towns of Flers, Courcelette and Martinpuich. In October, the British continued their attacks at the Ancre Heights and finally captured the fortress town of Thiepval which had eluded them since July 1st. By mid-November, the autumn rains turned the battlefield into a quagmire, bringing the Somme offensive to an end. Despite gains of only 6 miles, British forces inflicted severe casualties on the Germans. However, British losses were also extremely heavy, making the Somme one of the bloodiest battles in history with over 1 million men killed or wounded.

    The Iranian Plateau has an extensive history dating back to 100,000 BCE!  
    Today, Persia is known as the country of Iran, but long ago, Persia was once home to various nomadic tribes. It saw the rise of many empires and dynasties. The Assyrians fell to the Medians, who paved the way for the emergence of the Achaemenid Empire, one of the greatest empires in ancient history. 
    Throughout history, Persia made great contributions to the language and culture of the region. Nomadic movements and changing empires meant it was a hub of continuous cultural exploration and development. The Persians established and spread new ways of government, administration, and currency. The region is also the birthplace of Zoroastrianism and new ways of thinking and art.  
    The rise of the Achaemenid Empire is one of the most influential periods in world history. With Cyrus the Great and Darius I, the empire rose to unrivaled heights, gathering vast wealth and territories. Learn how this great empire declined and the role Alexander the Great played in it. 
    This book offers an enthralling insight into the exciting and often bloody history of ancient Persia and the Persian Empire.

    “What is comfort but a filament between past and present with some sort of future implied? In other words, safety. In other words, care. I know it is possible to find these things without her—I know they are there. But it can be so hard to ask. So much is unknown.”  Rebecca Spiegel is working as a teacher in New Orleans when she learns of her sister’s suicide. Only after the funeral does shock give way to grief—and to many questions. How could Emily do this to herself? How could she have abandoned all those who loved her? And what could have been done differently to prevent this devastating loss?  In the days and weeks that follow, Spiegel embarks on a search for answers. She unpacks family history, documents the last traces of her sister’s life, and questions what more she could have done to prevent her death. What she finds instead is that there is no narrative on the other side of grief like this. There is no answer, no easy resolution—only those that leave and those that keep living. Unflinchingly honest, visceral, and raw, this courageous elegy lays bare the hard realities of surviving the loss of a loved one.

    The Arab uprisings of the early 2010s raised hopes for the development of more democratic structures and better living conditions for millions in the region. Instead, they were followed by authoritarian backlash, civil wars, economic collapse and food and energy insecurity.
    
    
    Young people are often the ones hit hardest by the conjunction of these problems. How do they cope with insecurities and growing uncertainties, and what drives them to pursue their own dreams in spite of being disenfranchised?
    
    The Dispossessed Generation is the most comprehensive, in-depth study of young people in the MENA region to date, providing invaluable insights into their self-perceptions and life chances.

They illuminate the extent to which young people engage with their societies and mine new opportunities from a multiplicity of crises.
